Value Collection RN5-8-FE Ring Terminal 12-10 Awg Crimp 5/16

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION RN5-8-FE is a non-insulated circular ring terminal designed for crimp-style wire termination on 12 to 10 AWG conductors. Made with a copper contact, it provides a solid, low-resistance connection point between wire and stud fastener. The terminal measures 1.063 inches in overall length and 0.591 inches in ring width, fitting a 5/16-inch stud. It carries cUL and UL listings along with RoHS compliance, making it suitable for use in commercial and industrial electrical assemblies where listed components are required. Electricians and panel technicians use this terminal for panel wiring, ground connections, and equipment terminations.

This ring terminal is suited for residential and commercial electrical work where a permanent, vibration-resistant connection is needed. Typical applications include control panel terminations, grounding lugs, motor lead connections, and equipment bonding points. The non-insulated design allows for close-quarters terminations where insulated barrels would add unwanted bulk. The 5/16-inch stud size is a common bolt diameter found in terminal blocks, bus bars, and equipment chassis ground points.

Key Features

• Crimp connection type for fast, reliable termination without soldering
• Compatible with 12 to 10 AWG wire (4.00 to 6.00 sq mm)
• 5/16-inch stud size fits standard bus bar and chassis fasteners
• Copper contact material for good conductivity and corrosion resistance
• Non-insulated barrel keeps overall profile low for tight spaces
• cUL Listed, UL Listed, and RoHS Compliant

Compatibility

Designed as a standard crimp ring terminal for use with 12 to 10 AWG copper conductors and 5/16-inch stud fasteners in electrical panels, control enclosures, and equipment grounding applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with the NEC and applicable local codes. De-energize the circuit and verify zero voltage before terminating or disturbing any wiring. Use a calibrated crimping tool rated for the wire gauge and terminal series to ensure a gas-tight crimp. Do not solder over a crimp connection, as this can create a stress point and reduce long-term reliability.
