Description

Panduit PV18-38RB-2K Ring Terminal - Vinyl Insulated 2 AWG

Overview

The Panduit PV18-38RB-2K is a vinyl-insulated ring terminal designed for terminating 2 AWG stranded copper wire. This terminal is crucial for creating secure, reliable electrical connections in power distribution, control panels, and industrial equipment where vibration or movement might otherwise loosen connections. Its robust construction ensures long-term performance in demanding environments. The PV18-38RB-2K model specifically addresses the need for a 2 AWG wire size with a standard stud size connection.

Compatibility

This ring terminal is designed for use with 2 AWG stranded copper wire. It is compatible with standard screw terminals and studs typically found on circuit breakers, busbars, power supplies, and other electrical distribution equipment. The terminal's internal diameter is sized to accept common stud sizes, ensuring a secure fit for electrical infrastructure components.

Installation Notes

For optimal performance and safety, the Panduit PV18-38RB-2K terminal should be crimped onto the 2 AWG wire using a Panduit crimping tool (e.g., CT-2500 or equivalent) with the appropriate die set for 2 AWG wire. Ensure the crimp is full and complete, providing maximum conductivity and mechanical strength. The vinyl insulation provides electrical isolation and strain relief, rated for up to 600V. Operating temperature range is -40°C to 105°C.
