Thomas Betts TV14-6R-XV Ring Terminal 16-14 Awg Crimp 6 Stud

Product Description

The THOMAS BETTS TV14-6R-XV is a partially insulated circular ring terminal designed for crimp-style wire termination in electrical wiring applications. It accepts 16 to 14 AWG copper wire and terminates to a 6 stud size, making it a standard choice for control panels, equipment wiring, and field wiring connections. The contact is made from copper with a tin (TiN) plating for corrosion resistance and reliable conductivity. The vinyl insulation sleeve is color-coded blue, consistent with the 16 to 14 AWG range identification convention used across the trade. Overall length is 0.803 inches and ring width is 0.26 inches. Sold in a package of 75 terminals.

This ring terminal is suited for residential and commercial electrical work, HVAC control wiring, panel terminations, and equipment service connections where a secure, semi-insulated crimp lug is required. The 6 stud size fits standard machine screws and terminal blocks commonly found in low-voltage control boards and equipment junction boxes. Electricians and HVAC technicians use these terminals with ratcheting crimp tools to achieve consistent, pull-tested connections on 16 to 14 AWG stranded or solid copper conductors.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style crimp ring terminal for use with 16 to 14 AWG copper conductors terminated to 6 stud sizes in electrical, HVAC control, and general equipment wiring applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician or qualified HVAC technician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements. De-energize all circuits before making or breaking terminations. Use a ratcheting crimp tool calibrated for insulated terminals in the 16 to 14 AWG range to achieve a proper crimp — do not use pliers or non-ratcheting tools, as under-crimping can cause loose connections and heat buildup. Inspect the vinyl sleeve after crimping to confirm it has not cracked or separated from the barrel.
