Value Collection ZRNYD5-8 Ring Terminal 12-10 Awg Crimp

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION ZRNYD5-8 is a partially insulated circular ring terminal designed for crimp connections on 12 to 10 AWG copper wire. Built with a copper contact and a nylon insulation sleeve, this terminal provides a secure, corrosion-resistant termination point for ring-style stud connections. At 1.488 inches in overall length and 0.591 inches in ring width, it fits a 5/16-inch stud and is color-coded yellow for fast wire-gauge identification in the field. Electricians, panel technicians, and equipment installers use this terminal wherever a reliable ring-lug crimp connection is required on medium-gauge wire runs.

This ring terminal is suited for residential and commercial electrical work, control panel wiring, HVAC equipment connections, and general low-voltage or line-voltage termination tasks. The partially insulated design covers the barrel while leaving the ring exposed for direct stud or lug contact. It is appropriate for use with standard ratcheting crimp tools sized for 12 to 10 AWG. Terminals of this type appear in motor control centers, junction boxes, grounding applications, and switchgear assemblies where a threaded-stud landing is required.

Key Features

• Partially insulated nylon sleeve for barrel protection and AWG color-coding
• Copper contact material for reliable conductivity and crimp integrity
• Compatible with 12 to 10 AWG wire (4.00 to 6.00 sq mm)
• Fits 5/16-inch stud size for standard lug landings
• Yellow color coding allows fast gauge identification during installation
• Crimp connection type eliminates solder and speeds field termination

Compatibility

Designed as a standard crimp ring terminal for use with 12 to 10 AWG wire on 5/16-inch threaded studs in electrical panels, control boards, and equipment termination points.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with the NEC. De-energize all circuits before terminating or inspecting ring terminals. Use a calibrated ratcheting crimp tool rated for the appropriate wire gauge to ensure a gas-tight crimp; do not use pliers or non-ratcheting tools as they may produce an under-crimped connection. Inspect the barrel after crimping for proper wire insertion depth and verify the ring sits flat against the stud before torquing the fastener.
