Value Collection ZRNYD2-8-HD Ring Terminal 16-14 Awg

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION ZRNYD2-8-HD is a partially insulated circular ring terminal designed for crimped wire connections in electrical and control wiring applications. It accepts 16 to 14 AWG conductors (1.50 to 2.50 sq mm) and fits a 5/16-inch stud. The contact is made from copper, and the nylon insulation sleeve is blue, indicating the 16 to 14 AWG wire range per standard color coding conventions. Overall length is 1.197 inches with a ring width of 0.472 inches. Licensed electricians, panel builders, and controls technicians use these terminals to terminate stranded or solid copper wire to bus bars, lugs, and threaded fasteners.

This ring terminal is suited for residential and commercial electrical panels, control cabinets, HVAC low-voltage wiring, and motor control centers where a secure, vibration-resistant crimp termination is required. The partially insulated design provides barrel grip during crimping while leaving the ring barrel exposed for full contact with the stud surface. Typical applications include grounding conductors, bonding connections, and field wiring terminations on equipment terminals accepting a 5/16-inch stud.

Key Features

• Partially insulated nylon sleeve in blue for quick AWG range identification
• Copper contact material for reliable conductivity at the connection point
• Crimp connection type for a fast, tool-based, gas-tight termination
• Fits 5/16-inch (8.40 mm) stud size
• cUL Listed, UL Listed, and RoHS Compliant
• Overall length 1.197 inches, ring width 0.472 inches, contact thickness 0.0510 inches

Compatibility

Designed for use with 16 to 14 AWG (1.50 to 2.50 sq mm) copper conductors terminated to 5/16-inch threaded studs in standard electrical and control wiring assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with NEC requirements for the application. De-energize and lock out the circuit before terminating or inspecting ring terminals. Use a ratcheting crimping tool rated for the wire gauge and terminal series to achieve a proper crimp. Do not solder over a crimped connection, as this can create a stress point and degrade long-term reliability.
