Value Collection BOW-23824 Ring Terminal 16-14 Awg

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BOW-23824 is a partially insulated circular ring terminal designed for crimp-style electrical connections on 16 to 14 AWG copper conductors. The terminal body is copper for reliable conductivity, and the blue heat-shrink polyolefin insulation sleeve provides a secure, partial insulation barrier after crimping. The No. 6 stud size makes this terminal suitable for low-voltage control wiring, panel work, and general electrical termination tasks. Electricians and HVAC technicians use ring terminals like this to create clean, mechanically sound lug connections at screw terminals, control boards, and equipment grounding points.

This terminal is well-suited for residential and light commercial electrical work where 16 to 14 AWG wire is common, including control wiring in HVAC equipment, panel subfeeds, and appliance connections. The crimp connection method eliminates the need for soldering and delivers consistent pull strength when properly installed with a calibrated ratchet crimping tool. The blue color coding follows standard AWG color conventions for quick identification in the field.

Key Features

• Partially insulated with blue heat-shrink polyolefin sleeve for post-crimp protection
• Copper contact material for low-resistance, durable electrical connections
• Crimp connection type — no soldering required
• No. 6 stud size fits common screw terminals and grounding points
• Compatible with 16 to 14 AWG wire range
• RoHS compliant construction

Compatibility

Designed for use with 16 to 14 AWG conductors and No. 6 stud termination points in residential and commercial electrical and low-voltage control applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician or qualified technician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements. De-energize the circuit completely before making any terminations. Use a calibrated ratchet-style crimping tool sized for the AWG range to ensure a proper mechanical crimp — do not use pliers or uncalibrated tools as this can result in a high-resistance or failed connection. Inspect the insulation sleeve after crimping to confirm full coverage of the conductor barrel.
