Value Collection BD-18317 D Ring Terminal 22-18 Awg 50pk

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BD-18317 is a partially insulated, D-shaped ring terminal designed for crimp connections on 22 to 18 AWG copper wire. The terminal body is copper with a TiN (titanium nitride) contact plating, and the insulation sleeve is nylon. The red color coding identifies it as compatible with 22 to 18 AWG wire, following standard electrical color conventions. This terminal is rated for a 1/2-inch stud size. It carries CSA certification and is UL Listed under UL File E99322, making it suitable for professional electrical and low-voltage wiring work. Electricians and panel wiring technicians are the primary installers of this type of terminal.

This D-shaped ring terminal is used in control wiring, panel assembly, and low-voltage electrical applications where a secure, vibration-resistant mechanical connection to a stud or screw terminal is required. The partially insulated design provides grip and protection at the barrel while leaving the ring exposed for direct metal-to-metal contact at the connection point. Suitable for residential and light commercial electrical work where a reliable crimp termination is needed.

Key Features

• D-shaped ring profile for positive stud retention and anti-rotation positioning
• Partially insulated nylon sleeve color-coded red for 22 to 18 AWG wire identification
• Copper contact body with TiN plating for corrosion resistance and conductivity
• Crimp connection type for fast, reliable termination without soldering
• Fits 1/2-inch stud size
• CSA Certified and UL Listed under UL File E99322

Compatibility

Designed for use with 22 to 18 AWG copper wire and 1/2-inch stud or screw terminals in standard crimp termination applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements. De-energize the circuit completely before terminating any wiring. Use a calibrated ratcheting crimp tool sized for 22 to 18 AWG terminals to ensure a gas-tight crimp. Do not solder over the crimped connection, as this can create a stress point and compromise the joint.
