Value Collection BD--18612-8 D Ring Terminal 10-12 Awg

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BD--18612-8 is a non-insulated, D-shaped ring terminal designed for secure crimp connections on 12 to 10 AWG copper wire. The terminal body is copper with a titanium nitride (TiN) contact plating, which improves corrosion resistance and contact durability. The D-shaped ring seats against a No. 8 stud for a positive mechanical connection. This style of terminal is installed by electricians, panel technicians, and industrial maintenance professionals wherever a reliable, low-resistance lug connection is required on medium-gauge wire.

This ring terminal is suited for residential and light commercial electrical applications, including control panel wiring, equipment grounding, and branch circuit terminations where 12 to 10 AWG conductors land on No. 8 hardware. The non-insulated design is appropriate when terminals will be enclosed within a panel, junction box, or other protected environment. Each package contains 25 terminals, making it practical for multi-circuit installations or service stock. The yellow color coding is standard for the 12 to 10 AWG wire range and aids quick field identification.

Key Features

• D-shaped ring profile fits No. 8 stud hardware for a secure mechanical seat
• Crimp connection type for fast, reliable field termination without solder
• Copper contact material with TiN plating for corrosion resistance and long contact life
• Non-insulated construction compatible with enclosed panel and junction box installations
• Yellow color coding identifies 12 to 10 AWG wire range at a glance
• CSA Certified and UL Listed to recognized North American standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style crimp ring terminal for use with 12 to 10 AWG conductors terminating on No. 8 stud hardware in standard electrical panel, control wiring, and equipment grounding applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements. De-energize all circuits completely before terminating or disturbing conductors. Use a calibrated ratcheting crimp tool sized for non-insulated terminals in the 12 to 10 AWG range to ensure a gas-tight crimp. Do not re-crimp a terminal that has already been installed and removed.
