Value Collection BOW-23825 Ring Terminal 16-14 Awg

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BOW-23825 is a partially insulated circular ring terminal designed for secure, reliable wire termination in electrical and control wiring applications. It accepts 16 to 14 AWG wire via a crimp connection, making installation fast and consistent without the need for soldering. The terminal features a copper contact for solid conductivity and a blue polyolefin heat-shrink insulation sleeve that provides strain relief and a visual indicator for the correct wire gauge range. This terminal is sized for a No. 8 stud and is suited for licensed electricians, HVAC technicians, and panel wiring professionals working on control circuits, junction connections, and equipment terminations.

This ring terminal is a standard component in residential and light commercial electrical work, HVAC control wiring, motor control panels, and equipment repair. The No. 8 stud size fits a wide range of screw terminals found on control boards, motor housings, and bus bars. The blue color coding and partial insulation design follow standard wire gauge identification conventions used across the trade, making it straightforward to sort and install during multi-conductor termination work.

• Crimp connection provides a fast, tool-secured termination without soldering
• Copper contact material ensures reliable electrical conductivity
• Blue polyolefin heat-shrink partial insulation offers strain relief and AWG range identification
• Sized for No. 8 stud mounting points on control boards, motor terminals, and bus bars
• RoHS compliant construction

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard component for use with 16 to 14 AWG copper wire on No. 8 stud terminals in residential and light commercial electrical, HVAC, and control wiring applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician or licensed trade professional in accordance with applicable NEC requirements. De-energize all circuits before terminating or replacing ring terminals and verify the wire gauge matches the 16 to 14 AWG rating before crimping. Use a calibrated ratcheting crimping tool sized for the terminal to achieve a proper mechanical and electrical connection. Avoid over-crimping, which can damage the copper contact barrel and compromise the connection.
