Thomas Betts TV18-10R-XV Ring Terminal 22-16 Awg Crimp 75pk

Product Description

The THOMAS BETTS TV18-10R-XV is a partially insulated circular ring terminal designed for secure crimp connections on copper conductors ranging from 22 to 16 AWG. The terminal features a copper contact with a tin (TiN) plating for corrosion resistance and reliable electrical conductivity. A red vinyl insulation sleeve identifies the wire gauge range at a glance, following the industry-standard color coding used by electricians and panel builders. At 0.858 inches in overall length and 0.315 inches in ring width, the terminal is sized for a No. 10 stud. This part is sold in a package quantity of 75 and is RoHS compliant.

This ring terminal is suited for residential and commercial electrical work, control panel wiring, HVAC low-voltage connections, and general wire termination where a secure, semi-insulated lug is required at a No. 10 mounting stud. Electricians, panel builders, and HVAC technicians commonly use crimp-style ring terminals when landing wires on terminal blocks, relays, and equipment chassis studs. The partial insulation covers the barrel while leaving the ring exposed for direct metal-to-metal contact at the fastener.

Key Features

• Accepts 22 to 16 AWG copper conductors via crimp connection
• No. 10 stud size ring for secure mechanical and electrical termination
• Copper contact with TiN plating for corrosion resistance and long-term conductivity
• Red vinyl partial insulation for quick wire-gauge identification
• RoHS compliant construction
• Package quantity of 75 terminals per pack

Compatibility

Designed as a standard crimp-style ring terminal for use with 22 to 16 AWG copper wire and No. 10 mounting studs in general electrical and control wiring applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician or trained technician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements. De-energize the circuit and verify zero voltage before terminating any conductors. Use a calibrated ratcheting crimp tool rated for the wire gauge and terminal type to ensure a gas-tight crimp; never use pliers or an uncalibrated tool as a substitute. Inspect the completed crimp for insulation damage and confirm the ring seats flat against the stud before torquing the fastener.
