Value Collection BOW-23863 D Shaped Ring Terminal 8 Awg

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BOW-23863 is a D shaped ring terminal designed for secure, permanent electrical connections on 8 AWG copper wire. The partially insulated barrel features a heat shrink polyolefin sleeve that protects the crimp zone from abrasion and moisture ingress while leaving the ring exposed for stud mounting. The copper contact provides reliable conductivity in control wiring, grounding, and power distribution applications. Electricians and low-voltage technicians use this style of terminal when a clean, vibration-resistant ring lug is required on equipment panels, junction boxes, and motor terminations.

This terminal is suited for residential and light commercial electrical work where 8 AWG wire terminates at a 5/16-inch stud. Typical applications include panel grounding lugs, equipment bonding points, and HVAC control panel wiring. The crimp-style connection eliminates soldering and speeds up installation in high-volume wiring tasks. The pink color coding aids in quick visual identification of the 8 AWG wire range during inspection and troubleshooting.

• Copper contact material ensures low-resistance electrical connection
• Crimp connection style for fast, solder-free termination
• Pink color coding for quick visual identification of 8 AWG wire range
• RoHS compliant construction

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style crimp ring terminal for use with 8 AWG copper wire terminated at 5/16-inch mounting studs in standard electrical and control wiring applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements. De-energize the circuit completely before crimping and securing any terminal. Use a calibrated ratcheting crimp tool rated for the terminal and wire gauge to achieve a proper mechanical and electrical connection. Do not re-crimp a terminal that has already been compressed, as this can degrade contact integrity.
