Panduit PV22-4F-MYY Pan-Term® Ring Terminal

The Panduit PV22-4F-MYY is a vinyl-insulated ring terminal engineered for permanent wire termination in access control, security power distribution, and low-voltage infrastructure. Designed for 22-18 AWG wire and #4 studs, this tin-plated copper terminal delivers corrosion-resistant connections in environmental enclosures, battery backup systems, and rack-mount power distribution units. The 1,000-piece bulk pack supports multi-panel installations and job-site inventory for commercial integrators working to project schedules.

Key Features

Insulation support flange reduces stress at bend radius on tight pulls

UL 94 V-0 flammability-rated insulation for NEC / CEC compliance

Compatible with Panduit CT-100, CT-1525, CT-2300/ST, CT-2500/L, and UP14ZLW crimp tools

1,000-piece pack quantity for project inventory and repeat deployments

The brazed-seam barrel construction addresses the primary failure mode in stamped terminals — barrel splitting under crimp force. Panduit furnace-brazes the seam before plating, creating a homogenous cylinder that distributes compression evenly across the wire strands. The internal serrations bite into copper conductors without cutting individual strands, delivering gas-tight contact that maintains conductivity through thermal cycling. Tin plating over the entire terminal body (barrel, tongue, and insulation support) provides a solderable surface and inhibits oxidation in coastal installations, underground vaults, and rooftop enclosures where moisture ingress is a factor. The 0.67" overall length and 0.20" width fit standard terminal blocks in alarm panels, access control power supplies, and UPS distribution boards without clearance conflicts.

This terminal serves the connection points integrators encounter daily: battery leads in DSC and Honeywell alarm panels, auxiliary power taps on access control boards, 12 VDC / 24 VDC distribution blocks feeding door strikes and magnetic locks, and negative bus bars in rack-mount UPS systems. The fork-tongue ring opens for slip-over installation on energized terminal strips during service calls, eliminating the need to de-energize multi-tenant systems or remove panel covers for add-on circuits. The insulation support flange — a vinyl extension that grips the wire jacket — prevents the sharp bend at the barrel crimp from fatiguing stranded copper on vibration-prone mounts like outdoor camera junction boxes or industrial gate operators. The yellow insulation color-codes 22-18 AWG terminations per industry convention, simplifying troubleshooting and inspection sign-off.

Supplied in cartons of 1,000 terminals, the PV22-4F-MYY supports the inventory model most commercial integrators maintain for recurring panel installations and service stock. The UL 94 V-0 flammability rating on the vinyl insulation meets NEC Article 310 requirements for wiring in plenums and concealed spaces, ensuring inspection-ready terminations on fire alarm circuits, nurse call systems, and life-safety power distribution. Panduit specifies compatibility with five crimp-tool models spanning ratcheting hand tools (CT-100, CT-1525) and hydraulic compression frames (CT-2300/ST, CT-2500/L) to match the tooling integrators already stock for modular connector and terminal work across multi-trade projects.
