Thomas Betts B14-14 D-shaped Ring Terminal 18-14 Awg

Product Description

The THOMAS BETTS B14-14 is a non-insulated, D-shaped ring terminal designed for crimp connections on 18 to 14 AWG copper conductors. The terminal measures 0.93 inches in overall length and 0.5 inches in ring width, with a 1/4-inch stud size suitable for standard fastener hardware. The copper contact body features a TiN (titanium nitride) plating for corrosion resistance and reliable conductivity. This terminal is used by electricians and control wiring technicians to terminate stranded or solid wire leads to bus bars, studs, and screw terminals in panels, enclosures, and equipment. Each package contains 100 pieces.

The B14-14 is suited for residential and commercial electrical applications where a secure, low-profile ring termination is required. Typical use cases include control panel wiring, HVAC equipment harnesses, and general electrical enclosure terminations where an uninsulated terminal is acceptable and secondary insulation or sleeving is applied separately. The D-shaped ring profile provides positive stud retention and resists rotation during fastener torque. This terminal is sold in a 100-piece package, making it practical for bench stock or job-lot inventory.

Key Features

• D-shaped ring profile resists rotation on the stud during installation
• Compatible with 18 to 14 AWG wire for a broad range of control and power wiring tasks
• Copper contact with TiN plating for corrosion resistance and stable electrical connection
• 1/4-inch stud size fits standard panel hardware and terminal blocks
• Non-insulated design allows use with heat shrink or sleeving where required by code
• UL Listed and CSA Certified; meets RoHS requirements

Compatibility

Designed as a standard crimp ring terminal for 18 to 14 AWG wire applications. No specific equipment or model compatibility is stated by the manufacturer for this terminal.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed electricians or qualified technicians. De-energize all circuits before terminating conductors. Use a calibrated ratchet crimp tool rated for the appropriate AWG range and terminal type to achieve a gas-tight crimp. Verify stud size and torque fasteners per equipment manufacturer specifications and applicable NEC requirements.
