Panduit PV22-6R-MYY Pan-Term Ring Terminal
The Panduit PV22-6R-MYY is a tin-plated copper ring terminal engineered for power and grounding connections in access control, security camera power supplies, and UPS installations. The ring tongue design maintains contact integrity under sustained vibration—critical for pole-mount cameras, gate operators, and equipment subject to mechanical stress. Supplied in 1,000-piece bulk packaging, the PV22-6R-MYY is sized for 22-16 AWG wire and #6 stud hardware, matching the wire gauges and mounting hardware common in 12-24VDC security power distribution and battery termination.
Key Features
- Ring tongue design maintains mechanical contact in high-vibration outdoor and industrial installations
- Tin-plated copper barrel resists corrosion in humid enclosures and outdoor camera junction boxes
- Internal barrel serrations grip conductor strands for maximum pull strength and low contact resistance
- Insulation support sleeve prevents wire flex damage at the crimp transition point
- Compatible with Panduit CT-series hand and pneumatic crimpers (CT-100, CT-1525, CT-2300/ST, CT-2500/L)
- 1,000-piece bulk pack supports large security system deployments and integration shop inventory
The PV22-6R-MYY uses a funnel-entry barrel with internal serrations that displace and interlock with copper strands during crimping. This creates a gas-tight cold-weld joint that maintains contact resistance below 5 milliohms across temperature cycling and vibration. The tin plating on both the barrel and ring tongue protects the underlying copper from oxidation in environments with condensation or salt spray—common in coastal camera installations, refrigerated spaces, and outdoor enclosures without environmental seals. The plating also improves solder wettability if secondary bonding is required for bus-bar connections or redundant power feeds.
Security integrators rely on ring terminals for battery interconnects in UPS racks, main power feeds to access control panels, and ground conductor terminations in camera surge protector installations. The closed-ring geometry prevents accidental disconnection if mounting hardware loosens due to thermal expansion or enclosure movement. For pole-mount PTZ cameras subject to wind-induced vibration, ring terminals outperform spade or fork connectors that can shift under cyclic loading. The PV22-6R-MYY accepts #6 (3.5mm) stud diameters, matching the terminal blocks on Altronix power supplies, camera junction boxes with barrier strips, and the battery terminals on 12V 7-12Ah sealed lead-acid batteries used in standalone access control and alarm panel backup systems.
The 0.68" overall length and yellow insulation color-coding simplify field identification during rough-in inspection. Panduit specifies the PV22-6R-MYY for use with their CT-series crimpers, which apply controlled radial compression to avoid over-crimping that can fracture strands or under-crimping that leaves voids. The 1,000-piece packaging matches the volume requirements for multi-building campuses, datacenter power distribution retrofits, and integration shops that pre-terminate custom cable assemblies for repeatable field deployment.
