Thomas Betts D8-14-SK Ring Terminal 8 Awg Crimp 1/4 Stud 25 Pack

Product Description

The THOMAS BETTS D8-14-SK is a non-insulated circular ring terminal designed for crimp connections on 8 AWG copper conductors. The terminal features a copper contact body with a titanium nitride (TiN) plating that resists corrosion and maintains a low-resistance connection over time. At 1.13 inches long and 0.48 inches wide, it accepts a 1/4-inch stud and delivers a compact, reliable termination point. Electricians use these terminals to land conductors on bus bars, ground lugs, equipment terminals, and similar connection points where a secure mechanical and electrical bond is required. This item is sold in a package of 25.

The D8-14-SK suits residential, commercial, and light industrial electrical work wherever 8 AWG wire must terminate at a 1/4-inch stud. Typical applications include panel wiring, grounding connections, motor terminations, and control panel assembly. The non-insulated design is appropriate when an insulated sleeve is unnecessary or when terminals will be covered by a separate insulating boot or heat-shrink sleeve. Licensed electricians and industrial maintenance technicians are the primary installers.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with NFPA 70 (National Electrical Code). De-energize and lock out the circuit before terminating any conductors. Use a calibrated ratcheting crimp tool rated for the terminal and wire gauge to ensure a proper mechanical crimp. Inspect the finished crimp for deformation, exposed conductor strands, or incomplete seating before restoring power.
