Value Collection RNB3-8 Ring Terminal 14-12 Awg 5/16 Crimp

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION RNB3-8 is a non-insulated circular ring terminal designed for crimp-style electrical connections in light industrial, commercial, and residential wiring applications. It accepts 14 to 12 AWG copper wire and terminates to a 5/16-inch stud. The copper contact construction provides reliable conductivity, and the uninsulated barrel allows visual inspection of the wire after crimping. At 1.063 inches in overall length and 0.591 inches in ring width, this terminal fits standard lug positions without modification. Electricians and panel technicians use this terminal for grounding, bonding, and circuit termination tasks where a bare ring lug is specified.

This ring terminal is suited for use in control panels, junction boxes, switchgear, and general wiring harness applications. The 5/16-inch stud size is common across motor terminal blocks, grounding buses, and equipment chassis mounting points. Wire compatibility spans 2.50 to 4.00 square millimeters, aligning with common European and North American wire sizing standards. The non-insulated design is typically used in applications where a heat-shrink or separate sleeve will be applied over the crimp, or where insulation is not required by the installation spec.

Key Features

• Crimp connection style for fast, consistent terminations without soldering
• Accepts 14 to 12 AWG wire (2.50 to 4.00 sq mm)
• 5/16-inch stud size fits standard terminal blocks and grounding buses
• Copper contact material for low-resistance conductivity
• Non-insulated barrel allows post-crimp visual wire inspection
• UL Listed and cUL Listed; RoHS Compliant

Compatibility

Designed as a standard non-insulated ring terminal for use with 14 to 12 AWG wire on 5/16-inch stud termination points in residential, commercial, and light industrial electrical installations.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed electricians or qualified wiring technicians. De-energize the circuit and verify zero voltage with a meter before terminating any conductors. Use a calibrated ratcheting crimp tool sized for the barrel to achieve a full, gas-tight crimp. Follow NEC guidelines for ring terminal use in panel and equipment wiring, and ensure the stud fastener is torqued per the equipment manufacturer's terminal specification.
