Thomas Betts TV14-8R-XV Ring Terminal 16-14 Awg 8 Stud

Product Description

The THOMAS BETTS TV14-8R-XV is a partially insulated circular ring terminal designed for crimp connections on 16 to 14 AWG copper conductors. The terminal features a copper contact with a tin nitride (TiN) plating for reliable conductivity and corrosion resistance. The vinyl insulation sleeve is blue, providing a quick visual reference for the 16-to-14 AWG wire range. At 0.803 inches in overall length and 0.260 inches in ring width, this terminal is compact and well-suited for tight wiring spaces. It is RoHS compliant, making it appropriate for installations where restricted-substance requirements apply. Electricians and panel wiring technicians use this terminal for secure, durable ring-lug connections on control panels, equipment wiring, and electrical enclosures.

This terminal is sized for number 8 studs and accommodates 16 to 14 AWG wire, a common range found in low-voltage control circuits, HVAC equipment wiring, and general electrical panel work. The crimp connection style suits high-volume termination work where consistent pull-out strength and repeatable installation quality are required. Sold in a package quantity of 75, this item is appropriate for service technicians stocking common terminal sizes or for contractors terminating multiple conductors in a single job.

Key Features

• Partially insulated vinyl sleeve in blue for 16 to 14 AWG wire identification
• Copper contact with TiN plating for conductivity and corrosion resistance
• Crimp connection type for consistent, high-strength terminations
• Fits number 8 stud size
• RoHS compliant construction
• Package quantity of 75 per order unit

Compatibility

Designed for use with 16 to 14 AWG conductors terminated to number 8 studs. Suitable as an OEM-style crimp ring terminal in control panel wiring, HVAC equipment, and general electrical applications requiring a partially insulated ring lug.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a ratcheting or manual wire terminal crimping tool sized for 16 to 14 AWG terminals. De-energize and lock out the circuit before terminating or removing any ring terminal. Strip wire to the correct length per the terminal manufacturer's specification to ensure full conductor insertion before crimping. Work should comply with applicable NEC requirements for terminal and conductor sizing.
