Value Collection BOW-23821 Ring Terminal 22-18 Awg Crimp

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BOW-23821 is a partially insulated circular ring terminal designed for crimp-style wire terminations in electrical wiring applications. The terminal features a copper contact and a red polyolefin heat shrink insulation sleeve that provides a secure, partially covered connection. It accepts wire gauges from 22 to 18 AWG and is sized for a No. 6 stud. Electricians and panel wiring technicians use this type of terminal when a reliable mechanical and electrical connection is needed at a screw or stud termination point without the bulk of a fully insulated lug.

This ring terminal is suited for low-voltage control wiring, instrument panels, HVAC control boards, and general electrical panel work where 22 to 18 AWG wire is routed to screw terminals or threaded studs. The No. 6 stud size fits common mounting hardware found in residential and light commercial electrical enclosures. The red color coding follows the standard AWG color convention for 22 to 18 AWG wire range, making polarity and circuit identification straightforward during assembly and service.

Key Features

• Partially insulated design with red polyolefin heat shrink sleeve for identification and partial strain relief
• Copper contact material for reliable conductivity at the termination point
• Crimp connection type for fast, consistent, tool-based termination
• Accepts 22 to 18 AWG wire, matching the standard red wire range
• No. 6 stud size fits common screw terminals and threaded hardware
• RoHS compliant construction

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-stock ring terminal for use with 22 to 18 AWG wire and No. 6 stud termination points in residential and light commercial electrical applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician or trained wiring technician. De-energize the circuit completely before terminating or replacing any wire connectors. Use a calibrated ratcheting crimp tool sized for the 22 to 18 AWG range to ensure a proper mechanical crimp — do not rely on pliers or uncalibrated tools, as an improper crimp can cause high-resistance connections or pull-out failures. Follow applicable NEC requirements for wire termination methods and connector ratings in the installation environment.
