Thomas Betts TV18-6R-XV Ring Terminal 22-16 Awg Crimp 6 Stud

Product Description

The THOMAS BETTS TV18-6R-XV is a partially insulated circular ring terminal designed for crimp connections on copper conductors ranging from 22 to 16 AWG. The terminal body is copper with a tin (TiN) contact plating that resists corrosion and promotes reliable conductivity at the stud interface. A red vinyl insulation sleeve provides partial coverage, which is standard for this wire gauge range and allows visual confirmation of wire insertion depth before crimping. This terminal measures 0.803 inches in overall length and 0.26 inches in ring width, sized to fit a No. 6 stud. Electricians and instrumentation technicians use these terminals to create secure, vibration-resistant connections on control panels, low-voltage wiring harnesses, and field device terminations.

This terminal is suited for residential, commercial, and light industrial electrical work where 22 to 16 AWG conductors terminate at screw or stud mounting points. Common applications include control panel wiring, HVAC low-voltage circuits, and electrical enclosure assemblies where a compact, insulated ring lug is required at a No. 6 stud. The red color coding aligns with the industry-standard color convention for 22 to 16 AWG terminals, making wire gauge identification fast during installation and inspection. The package contains 75 terminals per pack.

Key Features

• Crimp connection type for fast, tooled termination without soldering
• Partially insulated red vinyl sleeve for AWG range identification and partial conductor protection
• Copper contact with TiN plating for corrosion resistance and reliable conductivity
• Compatible with 22 to 16 AWG wire at a No. 6 stud size
• RoHS compliant construction
• 75 terminals per package

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style ring terminal for use with 22 to 16 AWG copper conductors at No. 6 stud termination points in standard electrical and control wiring applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements. De-energize the circuit and verify the absence of voltage before terminating any conductor. Use a calibrated ratchet crimp tool rated for insulated terminals in the 22 to 16 AWG range to achieve a proper crimp — do not use pliers or non-ratcheting tools, as an incomplete crimp can result in a high-resistance joint or pull-out failure. Confirm the conductor is fully seated in the barrel before crimping.
