Thomas Betts L35 D-shaped Ring Terminal 14-8 Awg Crimp

Product Description

The THOMAS BETTS L35 is a non-insulated, D-shaped ring terminal designed for crimp connections in electrical wiring applications. The terminal features a copper contact body with a titanium nitride (TiN) plating for reliable conductivity and surface durability. It accepts wire sizes from 14 to 8 AWG and is sized for a 1/4-inch stud. The overall length is 13/16 inches with a ring width of 3/8 inches and a body thickness of 3/32 inches. This terminal is used by licensed electricians and electrical contractors in panel wiring, equipment grounding, and general wire termination work where a bare crimp lug is required.

The L35 is suited for residential, commercial, and light industrial electrical installations. Its non-insulated design makes it appropriate for applications where terminals are installed in enclosed junction boxes, terminal strips, or equipment panels with existing insulation or sleeving. The D-shaped ring profile provides positive alignment on the stud and resists rotation during torque application, which is useful in panel and equipment wiring scenarios.

Key Features

• D-shaped ring profile resists rotation on the stud during installation
• Accepts 14 to 8 AWG wire via crimp connection
• Copper contact body with TiN plating for conductivity and surface durability
• Non-insulated design for use with separate sleeving or in enclosed assemblies
• Sized for 1/4-inch stud hardware
• CSA Certified and UL Listed under UL 486A, UL File E9809

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style crimp ring terminal compatible with 14 to 8 AWG conductors and 1/4-inch stud fasteners in standard electrical termination applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with NEC requirements. De-energize the circuit completely before terminating conductors. Use a calibrated crimp tool rated for the terminal and wire gauge being installed. Do not solder over the crimp joint, as this can create a stress point and compromise the connection integrity.
