Value Collection BD-18335 D-shaped Ring Terminal 12-10 Awg

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BD-18335 is a partially insulated, D-shaped ring terminal designed for crimp-style wire terminations in electrical and control wiring applications. The terminal features a copper contact with TiN (titanium nitride) plating for conductivity and corrosion resistance, and a nylon insulation sleeve that partially covers the barrel for added protection at the connection point. Compatible with 12 to 10 AWG wire, this terminal fits a 5/16-inch stud and is color-coded yellow for quick wire-gauge identification in the field. Electricians and control-panel technicians use this terminal type for securing conductors to bus bars, equipment grounding points, and terminal blocks. This listing covers a package of 25 terminals.

This terminal is suited for residential and commercial electrical installations, HVAC control wiring, motor control panels, and general low-voltage wiring where a secure, inspectable ring-style lug is required. The D-shaped barrel aids in proper alignment during crimping and helps prevent rotation on the stud after installation. Applications include equipment grounding, control circuit terminations, and panel wiring where 12 to 10 AWG conductors are landed on 5/16-inch fasteners.

Key Features

• Partially insulated nylon sleeve for barrel protection and wire-gauge color coding
• Copper contact with TiN plating for reliable conductivity and corrosion resistance
• D-shaped barrel design for consistent crimp alignment and anti-rotation on stud
• Accepts 12 to 10 AWG wire with a crimp-style connection
• Fits 5/16-inch stud size
• CSA Certified and UL Listed (UL File E99322)

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-stock crimp ring terminal for use with 12 to 10 AWG conductors on 5/16-inch studs in electrical panels, HVAC equipment, and motor control applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician or qualified technician in accordance with NEC requirements. De-energize the circuit completely before terminating or disturbing any conductors. Use a calibrated ratcheting crimp tool rated for the terminal and wire gauge to ensure a gas-tight crimp. Inspect the completed crimp for proper barrel fill and secure seating on the stud before restoring power.
