Panduit EV14-6RB-L Insulated Vinyl Ring Terminal, 16-14 AWG, #6 Screw

Overview

The Panduit EV14-6RB-L is a StrongHold™ vinyl-insulated ring terminal rated for 16–14 AWG wire with a #6 screw hole. At 0.92 inches overall length and 0.31 inches wide, it is a compact, solderable-free wire-termination solution used in panel wiring, low-voltage security runs, and control cabinet work where clean, UL-listed connections are required. Packaged in quantities of 50 per bag (500 per carton), it fits comfortably in both job-site kits and panel-shop inventory. The EV14-6RB-L (often searched as EV14 6RB L) is a direct crossover for competitor parts 83-2221, BA14E6M, RV14-6L, and TV14-6R-XV.

Key Features

• 16–14 AWG Conductor Range: Accepts the two most common low-voltage wire gauges used in security and access-control panels — wire up a door controller's 18 AWG power return or a 14 AWG ground lug without changing terminal type.
• Zinc-Plated Copper Barrel: The tin/zinc finish resists oxidation at the crimp interface, keeping contact resistance stable over the life of the installation — important in enclosures that see seasonal temperature swings.
• Vinyl Insulation, UL587-H Flammability Rating: The PVC sleeve meets UL587-H flame resistance requirements, reducing fire-spread risk inside control panels and wire-management trays where bundled runs are common.
• #6 Screw Hole: Matches the lug terminals on standard DIN-rail terminal blocks, ground bars, and common field-device connection points — no upsizing or adapters needed for most low-voltage panel work.
• UL Listed (E52164) and CSA Certified (LR31212): Both marks are required on many commercial and institutional jobs for AHJ sign-off. Having both on a single SKU avoids substitution issues when inspectors check the panel.
• 0.92-Inch Overall Length: Short enough to fit inside shallow enclosures and wire troughs without bending strain on the insulation immediately behind the crimp.
• 50-Piece Bag / 500-Piece Carton: The 50-count MOQ suits small panel builds and service calls; the 500-count carton keeps high-volume panel shops stocked without reordering every week.

Integration & Compatibility

Panduit specifies the EV14-6RB-L for use with Panduit crimp tools CT-100A, CT-200, CT-600A (CT-570CH), CT-1570, CT-2500 (CT-2570CH), CT-160, and CT-255. Using a listed crimp tool matters: the correct die geometry sets the barrel compression to the conductor count published in the UL evaluation — a field crimp with an unlisted tool voids the listed termination. These ring terminals are appropriate for copper conductors only; do not apply to aluminum wire, which requires aluminum-rated lugs with antioxidant compound.

The EV14-6RB-L is the kind of terminal that gets overlooked until it's missing from the parts bin mid-panel-build. Rated 16–14 AWG with a #6 screw hole and a zinc-plated copper barrel, it covers the most common grounding and signal-return terminations in low-voltage security enclosures without requiring a second SKU for different gauges.

Technical Highlights:

• UL587-H Vinyl Sleeve: Flame-resistant insulation rated to UL587-H keeps this terminal compliant for use inside listed enclosures — relevant when your panel is part of an AHJ-reviewed fire alarm or access control submittal.
• Dual Certification (UL E52164 / CSA LR31212): Both marks on one part means a single line item satisfies US and Canadian code requirements on cross-border commercial projects without sourcing a separate CSA-only SKU.
• Crimp Tool Specificity: Panduit lists seven compatible tools (CT-100A through CT-255). That specificity is deliberate — the listed die geometry is part of the UL evaluation. Substituting a generic ratchet crimper risks a mechanically adequate but non-listed termination.

Deployment Considerations:

• The 0.92-inch overall length is short enough for 2-inch-deep wireway, but verify clearance before specifying in an unusually shallow DIN-rail section where adjacent terminals may crowd the ring.
• These are copper-only conductors — do not apply to aluminum branch circuits. Aluminum wire requires aluminum-rated lugs with antioxidant compound regardless of gauge match.

Solid fit for commercial access-control panel builds where the AHJ requires UL/CSA-listed terminations on every grounded conductor and the job calls for both US and Canadian approval on a single submittal.
