Value Collection BD-18322 D Shaped Ring Terminal 16-14 Awg

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BD-18322 is a D shaped ring terminal designed for crimp connections in low-voltage electrical wiring applications. It accepts 16 to 14 AWG wire and features a copper contact with TiN (titanium nitride) plating for reliable conductivity and corrosion resistance. The partial insulation is made from nylon and is color-coded blue, consistent with standard color conventions for this wire gauge range. This terminal is suited for use in control wiring, panel wiring, and equipment terminations where a secure, semi-insulated ring lug is required. Electricians and panel technicians install these as part of structured wiring assemblies.

This terminal is appropriate for residential and light commercial electrical installations where 16 to 14 AWG conductors are terminated to a No. 8 stud. Common applications include control panels, junction boxes, HVAC control wiring, and electrical equipment grounding or signal terminations. The blue nylon partial insulation provides both a visual wire gauge indicator and a degree of mechanical protection at the barrel entry point. Each package contains 50 terminals.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard crimp-style ring terminal for use with 16 to 14 AWG conductors terminated to No. 8 studs in residential and light commercial electrical control and wiring applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with NEC requirements. De-energize the circuit completely before terminating or servicing any conductors. Use a calibrated ratcheting crimp tool appropriate for the wire gauge and terminal type to ensure a secure, gas-tight crimp. Inspect the terminated connection for barrel deformation or insulation damage before restoring power.
