Value Collection BD-18326 D Shaped Ring Terminal 50 Pack

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BD-18326 is a partially insulated D shaped ring terminal designed for crimp connections in electrical wiring applications. Built with a copper contact and TiN (titanium nitride) plating, this terminal provides a reliable, corrosion-resistant connection point for conductors ranging from 16 to 14 AWG. The nylon insulation sleeve is blue-coded for quick wire gauge identification during installation. With a 3/8 inch stud size, it fits standard fastener configurations found in control panels, junction boxes, and equipment wiring harnesses. Electricians and instrumentation technicians install these terminals using a ratcheting crimp tool calibrated to the appropriate AWG range.

This terminal is suited for low-voltage control wiring, panel wiring, and general electrical connections in residential, commercial, and light industrial settings. The D shaped ring design locks onto the stud and prevents the terminal from spinning when the fastener is only partially loosened, making it a practical choice in confined panel spaces where full stud removal is not ideal. Compatible with 16 to 14 AWG stranded or solid copper conductors. Sold in a package quantity of 50.

Key Features

• D shaped ring prevents terminal rotation on the stud during fastener tightening
• Accepts 16 to 14 AWG wire for broad compatibility with common control circuit conductors
• Copper contact with TiN plating for improved corrosion resistance and conductivity
• Partially insulated nylon sleeve color-coded blue for fast AWG identification
• 3/8 inch stud size fits standard electrical panel and equipment hardware
• CSA Certified and UL Listed (UL File E99322) for code-compliant installations

Compatibility

Designed for use with 16 to 14 AWG stranded or solid copper conductors and 3/8 inch mounting studs in standard electrical panel and control wiring applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements. De-energize and lock out the circuit before terminating or removing any wiring. Use a ratcheting crimp tool rated for 16 to 14 AWG non-insulated or partially insulated terminals to ensure a full, gas-tight crimp. Do not solder over a crimped connection, as this can introduce brittleness at the barrel transition.
