Thomas Betts TV14-14R-XV Ring Terminal 16-14 Awg Crimp

Product Description

The THOMAS BETTS TV14-14R-XV is a partially insulated circular ring terminal designed for crimp-style wire terminations on 16 to 14 AWG conductors. The copper contact core is plated with titanium nitride (TiN) for improved corrosion resistance and reliable conductivity at the connection point. A blue vinyl insulation sleeve provides partial coverage, making wire gauge identification straightforward during installation. At 1.094 inches in overall length and 0.472 inches in ring width, this terminal is sized for a 1/4-inch stud. Electricians and panel wiring technicians install these terminals using standard hand or ratcheting crimp tools compatible with insulated ring terminals.

This ring terminal is used in low-voltage wiring applications across residential, commercial, and light industrial settings. Common installations include control panel wiring, equipment grounding connections, motor lead terminations, and field wiring on HVAC equipment, pumps, and electrical enclosures. The partially insulated design allows visual inspection of the crimp joint after termination. The blue color coding follows the standard industry convention for 16 to 14 AWG terminals, helping technicians quickly select the correct terminal during wiring tasks.

Compatibility

Designed for use with 16 to 14 AWG copper conductors and 1/4-inch mounting studs. Suitable as an OEM-style crimp ring terminal in residential and commercial electrical and control wiring applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with NEC requirements for the specific application. De-energize and lock out the circuit before terminating or removing any ring terminal. Use a calibrated ratcheting crimp tool rated for insulated terminals in the 16 to 14 AWG range to ensure a secure, low-resistance crimp joint. Inspect the finished crimp for complete conductor engagement and intact insulation sleeve before restoring power.
