Value Collection BD-18316 D Ring Terminal 22-18 Awg 50 Pack

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BD-18316 is a D shaped ring terminal designed for secure, low-resistance electrical connections in light-duty wiring applications. The terminal features a crimp connection method with a copper contact plated in TiN (titanium nitride) for improved corrosion resistance and contact durability. Partial nylon insulation in red provides visual identification and basic protection at the barrel end. This terminal accepts wire gauges from 22 to 18 AWG and fits a 3/8 inch stud. Electricians and wire harness technicians use these terminals for panel wiring, control circuits, and equipment grounding connections where a D shaped ring profile is specified.

This terminal is suited for residential and light commercial electrical work, including control panel terminations, instrumentation wiring, and low-voltage circuit connections. The 22 to 18 AWG wire range covers common small-gauge conductors used in control wiring and signal circuits. The red color coding follows standard convention for 22 to 18 AWG crimp terminals, making identification fast during installation and inspection. This listing is for a package of 50 terminals.

Key Features

• D shaped ring profile fits 3/8 inch studs for secure mechanical retention
• Crimp connection type for fast, reliable termination without soldering
• Copper contact with TiN plating for corrosion resistance and conductivity
• Partial nylon insulation in red for AWG range identification and barrel protection
• Compatible wire range: 22 to 18 AWG
• CSA Certified and UL Listed (UL File E99322)

Compatibility

Designed as a standard crimp ring terminal for 22 to 18 AWG copper conductors in residential and light commercial electrical control and signal wiring applications requiring a 3/8 inch stud size.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with NEC requirements. De-energize the circuit completely before terminating any conductors. Use a calibrated ratcheting crimp tool rated for insulated terminals in the 22 to 18 AWG range to ensure a proper mechanical and electrical crimp. Do not use pliers or uncalibrated tools as a substitute for a dedicated crimp tool, as an improper crimp can result in high-resistance connections or pull-out failure.
