Value Collection BD-18312 D-shape Ring Terminal 22-18 Awg 50pk

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BD-18312 is a partially insulated D-shape ring terminal designed for crimp-style electrical connections on copper conductors. The terminal features a copper contact with TiN (titanium nitride) plating for reliable conductivity and corrosion resistance. A red nylon insulation sleeve covers the barrel, providing partial insulation suited for 22 to 18 AWG wire. This terminal accepts a No. 8 stud and is packaged in a quantity of 50, making it well-suited for panel wiring, control circuit work, and general electrical termination tasks completed by electricians and low-voltage technicians.

This terminal is used in residential and light commercial electrical applications where a secure, compact ring-style termination is required on a No. 8 screw or stud. Typical install scenarios include control panels, terminal strips, HVAC control boards, and electrical enclosures. The 22 to 18 AWG wire range covers common low-voltage and signal wiring gauges. The red color coding follows standard industry convention for 22 to 18 AWG terminals, aiding fast identification during installation and inspection.

Compatibility

Designed as a crimp-style ring terminal for use with 22 to 18 AWG copper wire and No. 8 mounting studs or screws in low-voltage and general electrical wiring applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed electrician or qualified low-voltage technician. De-energize all circuits before terminating wires. Use a calibrated ratchet or compression crimp tool sized for the 22 to 18 AWG barrel to achieve a gas-tight crimp. Do not attempt to solder over the crimp, as this can compromise the mechanical integrity of the connection. Installations must comply with applicable NEC requirements for terminal and conductor sizing.
