Value Collection BOW-23823-1 Ring Terminal 22-18 Awg

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BOW-23823-1 is a partially insulated circular ring terminal designed for crimp connections on 22 to 18 AWG copper wire. The terminal body is copper, and the insulation sleeve is red heat-shrink polyolefin, which provides a secure, moisture-resistant seal after installation. The 1/4-inch stud size fits standard ring-terminal mounting points found across electrical panels, control boards, and low-voltage wiring harnesses. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and panel wiring specialists use this style of terminal to terminate stranded or solid copper conductors where a reliable mechanical and electrical connection is required at a threaded stud or screw.

This ring terminal is suited for light-gauge wire runs in residential and commercial applications including control wiring, appliance wiring, automotive harnesses, and HVAC low-voltage circuits. The partially insulated design exposes the barrel for visual inspection of the crimp while the polyolefin sleeve covers the wire entry point. The red color coding is the industry-standard indicator for the 22 to 18 AWG wire range, making polarity and gauge identification fast during installation or service.

Key Features

• Crimp connection type for a fast, reliable mechanical termination without soldering
• Compatible with 22 to 18 AWG wire, color-coded red for quick gauge identification
• Copper contact material for excellent conductivity and corrosion resistance
• 1/4-inch stud size fits standard threaded terminals and binding posts
• Heat-shrink polyolefin insulation sleeve provides strain relief and moisture protection at the wire entry
• RoHS compliant construction

Compatibility

Designed as a standard crimp ring terminal for 22 to 18 AWG copper conductors requiring a 1/4-inch stud connection in electrical, HVAC control, and low-voltage wiring applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed electrician or qualified technician using a ratcheting or calibrated crimp tool rated for the 22 to 18 AWG range. Always de-energize the circuit and verify zero voltage before terminating wires. Strip the conductor to the correct length to fully seat the wire into the barrel before crimping. If heat-shrink activation is required, apply a heat gun evenly around the sleeve after crimping to form a tight seal.
