Thomas Betts 54870BE Rectangle Ring Terminal

Product Description

The THOMAS BETTS 54870BE is a non-insulated rectangle ring terminal designed for compression-style electrical connections. Measuring 5.23 inches in overall length and 1.25 inches in ring width, this terminal provides a solid, low-resistance connection point in high-demand wiring applications. The copper contact body features a titanium nitride (TiN) plating that resists corrosion and wear over repeated use. At 0.150 inches thick, the terminal offers structural integrity under mechanical load. Electricians and industrial wiring technicians install this type of terminal where a secure, permanent ring-style lug is required at stud terminations.

This terminal is suited for use in industrial control panels, switchgear, bus bar terminations, and heavy-duty electrical assemblies where a 1/2 inch stud mount is specified. The compression connection style requires a proper crimping tool to achieve a gas-tight, code-compliant termination. The non-insulated design is typical in applications where sleeving, heat-shrink, or panel enclosures provide insulation after termination. This terminal is packaged and sold individually.

Key Features

• Non-insulated rectangle ring terminal for compression (crimp) connections
• Copper contact material with titanium nitride (TiN) plating for corrosion resistance
• 1/2 inch stud size for secure bolt-down termination
• 5.23 inch overall length with 1.25 inch ring width
• 0.150 inch terminal thickness for rigid, load-bearing performance
• RoHS compliant construction

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style compression ring terminal for use in industrial and commercial electrical assemblies requiring a 1/2 inch stud non-insulated ring lug termination.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements. De-energize and lock out the circuit before terminating any conductors. Use a calibrated compression crimping tool rated for the conductor gauge and terminal series to achieve a proper gas-tight crimp. Do not over-torque the stud fastener, and verify the termination is mechanically secure before re-energizing.
