Panduit PV10-8R-L Yellow Ring Terminal

Overview

The Panduit PV10-8R-L is a yellow, vinyl-insulated ring terminal designed for secure electrical connections in low-voltage applications. It accommodates wire gauges from 10 to 12 AWG and features a #8 stud size, ensuring a reliable crimp termination for power and signal wiring. This terminal is suitable for free-hanging mounting and provides a robust connection point for equipment where vibration or movement is a factor. Its construction from copper with a tin finish offers excellent conductivity and corrosion resistance, critical for maintaining signal integrity and preventing connection failure in commercial installations.

Compatibility

This terminal is designed for use with 10-12 AWG stranded copper wire and #8 stud sizes. It is compatible with standard crimping tools that support the specified wire gauge and terminal type. The vinyl insulation is rated for up to 600V and a maximum operating temperature of 221°F (105°C), making it suitable for a wide range of general-purpose electrical applications, including within surveillance system power distribution or control wiring.

Installation Notes

For optimal performance and safety, use a Panduit-approved crimping tool or a comparable tool designed for 10-12 AWG ring terminals. Ensure the wire is stripped to the correct length and fully inserted into the terminal barrel before crimping. The crimp should create a solid, gas-tight connection. The overall length is 1.050 inches with a width of 0.310 inches, and the insulation diameter is 0.225 inches, requiring adequate clearance for installation. Maximum voltage rating is 600V.
