3M MNG18-14R/SX Ring Terminal 1/4 in Stud 18 AWG 1000 V Nylon

Ring Terminal 18 AWG 1000 V

The 3M MNG18-14R/SX is a nylon-insulated ring terminal built for 18 AWG wire and rated to 1,000 volts. It uses a butted copper barrel with a tin finish and accepts a 1/4 inch stud. The red nylon sleeve provides partial insulation coverage and is rated for a maximum operating temperature of 221 degrees Fahrenheit. The connector is UL Listed and CSA Certified for compliance.

Suited for 18 AWG crimp connections

This terminal suits installers who need a crimp-on ring lug for 18 AWG conductors at 1/4 inch stud size. The butted barrel design and tin-plated copper contact provide a standard industrial connection. It does not suit applications requiring a larger wire gauge, a different stud diameter, a fully insulated sleeve, or a brazed-seam barrel construction. Buyers needing higher temperature ratings or alternative insulation materials should look elsewhere.

Sustained load at 221 degrees Fahrenheit

Under continuous operation the nylon insulation remains stable up to its 221 degree Fahrenheit rating while the tin-plated copper barrel maintains conductivity. The butted seam and 0.07 inch barrel inside diameter hold the 18 AWG conductor securely during thermal cycling. The 0.25 inch barrel length and 0.47 inch tongue width keep the mechanical joint consistent at the rated 1,000 volts without degradation.
