Value Collection BD-18311 D Shaped Ring Terminal 22-18 Awg

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BD-18311 is a D shaped ring terminal designed for crimp connections on 22 to 18 AWG wire. The terminal features a copper contact with TiN plating and a partially insulated nylon sleeve in red. It fits a No. 6 stud size, making it a standard choice for low-voltage wiring terminations in electrical panels, control systems, and equipment wiring harnesses. This terminal meets CSA and UL listing requirements. It is sold in a pack of 50, suited for contractors and technicians working through service or installation jobs that require reliable, repeatable wire terminations.

This ring terminal is used in residential and light commercial electrical and control wiring applications. It is appropriate for panel wiring, HVAC control boards, motor connections, and general equipment terminations where a secure crimp-style ring lug is required on fine-gauge wire. The partially insulated design provides strain relief at the barrel while leaving the ring exposed for direct stud contact. The red color coding corresponds to the 22 to 18 AWG wire range, aiding quick identification during installation.

Key Features

• Partially insulated nylon sleeve in red, matching standard AWG color coding for 22 to 18 AWG
• No. 6 stud size for compatibility with common terminal screws and binding posts
• CSA Certified and UL Listed — meets standard electrical safety requirements
• Pack of 50 units per order, suited for multi-termination jobs

Compatibility

Designed for use with 22 to 18 AWG wire and No. 6 stud hardware in crimp-termination applications across residential and light commercial electrical and control wiring systems.

Installation Notes

Ring terminals of this type are installed by licensed electricians and trained HVAC or controls technicians following applicable NEC guidelines. Always de-energize the circuit and verify zero voltage before terminating or removing ring terminals. Use a calibrated ratcheting crimp tool sized for 22 to 18 AWG to ensure a gas-tight, pull-resistant crimp. Do not use pliers or uncalibrated tools as a substitute for a proper crimper, as an improper crimp can cause high-resistance connections or terminal pullout.
