Value Collection BD-18325 D-shaped Ring Terminal 50 Pack

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BD-18325 is a partially insulated, D-shaped ring terminal designed for secure, permanent electrical connections in panel wiring, control systems, and general electrical assemblies. The terminal uses a crimp connection method with a copper contact and TiN (titanium nitride) plating to resist corrosion and maintain conductivity over time. A blue nylon insulation sleeve covers part of the barrel, providing basic strain relief and visual identification for 16 to 14 AWG wire. The 5/16-inch stud size suits a wide range of ring terminal applications on bus bars, studs, and terminal blocks. Sold in a pack of 50 units.

This terminal is suited for residential and commercial electrical work where a reliable mechanical and electrical connection is needed on conductors in the 16 to 14 AWG range. Common install scenarios include control panel wiring, HVAC low-voltage wiring harnesses, motor lead terminations, and general-purpose wire-to-stud connections. The blue color coding aids quick identification of wire gauge during installation and inspection.

Key Features

• D-shaped ring terminal for positive stud alignment and anti-rotation fitment
• Crimp connection for fast, tool-based termination without soldering
• Copper contact with TiN plating for corrosion resistance and long-term conductivity
• Partially insulated blue nylon sleeve for strain relief and 16-14 AWG wire gauge identification
• 5/16-inch stud size fits common bus bars, terminal studs, and ground points
• CSA Certified and UL Listed (UL File E99322) for use in code-governed installations

Compatibility

Designed for use with 16 to 14 AWG copper conductors and 5/16-inch threaded studs. Suitable as a standard crimp ring terminal in electrical, HVAC, and control panel applications where partially insulated, blue-coded terminals are specified.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician or trade professional in accordance with applicable NEC requirements. De-energize all circuits before terminating or inspecting connections. Use a calibrated ratcheting crimp tool rated for the terminal barrel size to achieve a proper mechanical crimp. Do not use pliers or non-rated tools as a substitute for a proper crimping tool, as under-crimped connections can cause resistance, heat buildup, or pull-out failure.
