3M 7000133673 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire size does the 3M Highland RV10-38Q ring terminal accept?
The Highland RV10-38Q vinyl insulated ring terminal is built for 12 to 10 AWG stranded copper conductor (3.31 to 5.26 mm2). Run it outside that range and the crimp won't hold: 14 AWG and smaller will pull out of the 0.135 inch barrel bore, and 8 AWG won't enter it.
2) Will this 3M ring terminal fit a 3/8 inch stud or lug bolt?
Yes. The RV10-38Q is sized for a 3/8 inch stud, which is what the 38 in the part code refers to. If your breaker lug, ground bar, or motor terminal takes a 1/4 or #10 screw, you need a smaller ring in the same Highland series instead, since the tongue will float on the smaller fastener and can shift under vibration.
3) What voltage is the Highland RV10-38Q insulated ring terminal rated for?
600V for building wire, and 1000V when used in signs, fixtures or luminaires. The vinyl sleeve is the insulating element, so don't nick or shave it during crimping if you want to hold that rating.
4) Can I use these ring terminals in a hot equipment room or engine compartment?
They're rated from -40 to 221 degrees F (-40 to 105 degrees C), which covers most panel, rooftop unit and machine room work. Above 105 C the vinyl sleeve is out of spec and you should move to a nylon or heat-shrink insulated terminal.
5) Will the insulation sleeve on this terminal slide over THHN 12 AWG jacket?
The funnel entry accepts insulation up to 0.145 inch outside diameter, which covers typical 12 and 10 AWG building wire jackets. The funnel shape is there so you can feed stranded wire in without birdcaging the strands, and the barrel is 0.25 inch long, so strip to about that length for full contact.
6) Is the 3M Highland RV10-38Q UL listed and RoHS compliant?
It's covered under 3M UL file number E23438, and it meets RoHS 2011/65/EU without exemption. Made in the United States, which matters on federal and institutional jobs with domestic sourcing requirements.
7) Will these ring terminals corrode on outdoor or damp-location equipment?
The barrel is electrolytic copper with tin plating, so it resists corrosion better than bare copper on damp-location gear. The butted seam barrel closes on the conductor for a secure crimp. It's still an insulated vinyl terminal, not a sealed one, so for direct wet or marine exposure use an adhesive-lined heat shrink terminal instead.
8) How is the 3M 7000133673 ring terminal packaged and how many come in a case?
25 terminals per bag, 10 bags per case, so a full case is 250 pieces. That's the format MRO stockrooms and electrical shops usually buy for panel build and repair work.
9) How much room do I need for this ring terminal inside a crowded panel?
Overall it's 1.26 inches long by 0.54 inch wide, with a 0.99 inch dimension E and 0.44 inch clearance C. Worth checking against tight terminal blocks where two rings stack on the same stud.
