3M Highland Vinyl-Insulated Ring Terminal, Standard Ring Tongue

The 3M Highland Vinyl-Insulated Ring Terminal family delivers dependable, code-compliant wire terminations for commercial, industrial, and general electrical installations. Available across four models — RV10-38Q, RV14-10Q, RV14-8Q, and RV18-8Q — this Highland series covers a range of AWG wire sizes and ring stud sizes, including the RV10-38Q's AWG 12-10 wire range with a 3/8" (0.375") stud. Every terminal in the family is built from tin-plated electrolytic copper with a color-coded vinyl insulation sleeve and a standard-style ring tongue that fits fully around the stud for a secure mechanical and electrical connection. Terminals are supplied 25 per bag and made in the USA, giving electricians, panel builders, OEM assemblers, and maintenance technicians a consistent, ready-to-stock ring terminal solution.

Key Features

  • Wire Range Coverage: The Highland ring terminal family spans multiple AWG wire ranges, including AWG 12-10 on the RV10-38Q, so the correct terminal can be matched to the conductor size in use.
  • Stud Size Options: Ring tongue sizes vary by model, with the RV10-38Q sized for a 3/8" (0.375") stud, seating fully around the stud rather than slipping underneath it.
  • Durable Construction: Tin-plated electrolytic copper resists corrosion and oxidation while maintaining low-resistance, high-conductivity contact over the life of the connection.
  • Vinyl Insulation: A color-coded vinyl sleeve identifies the wire range at a glance and shields the crimp barrel from abrasion and moisture.
  • Standard-Style Ring Tongue: Full-circle ring design provides a secure mechanical hold that stands up to vibration and thermal cycling.
  • Butted Barrel Construction: Barrel design is engineered for use with standard crimping tools to create a solid, low-resistance joint.
  • Convenient Packaging: Supplied 25 terminals per bag for easy inventory control and stocking.

3M RV14-10Q – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Which 3M Highland ring terminal do I order for 12-10 AWG wire on a 3/8 inch stud?
That combination is the RV10-38Q. It covers AWG 12-10 conductor and has a ring tongue sized for a 3/8 inch (0.375 inch) stud. The other Highland models in the family are the RV14-10Q, RV14-8Q, and RV18-8Q, which cover different wire ranges and stud sizes.
2) Will a 3M Highland ring terminal stay on the stud if the nut loosens?
It should. The Highland terminals use a standard-style ring tongue, a full circle of metal that seats all the way around the stud instead of a spade or fork that can slip out sideways. That full-circle hold is what makes ring terminals the choice for motor and equipment grounding and other connections that see vibration and thermal cycling.
3) Do I need a special crimper for 3M Highland insulated ring terminals?
No. The barrel is a butted type, made to be crimped with standard insulated-terminal crimping tools. You do not need a proprietary die set to get a solid, low-resistance joint.
4) Are these ring terminals copper or aluminum, and will they corrode in a damp panel?
They are tin-plated electrolytic copper, not aluminum. The tin plating is there to resist corrosion and oxidation while keeping the contact low-resistance over the life of the joint, and the vinyl insulation sleeve shields the crimp barrel from abrasion and moisture. For wet or direct-burial locations you still need a connector listed for that environment.
5) Are 3M Highland ring terminals made in the USA for a Buy American spec?
Country of origin on the Highland ring terminals is the United States. If your project carries a domestic-content requirement, that is the origin on record for all four models, RV10-38Q, RV14-10Q, RV14-8Q, and RV18-8Q.
6) Ring terminal or spade terminal for a terminal block?
Use the ring where the connection can't be allowed to back out: the Highland standard ring tongue closes fully around the stud, so loosening the nut does not release the conductor. A spade or fork slides out from under a partly backed-off screw, which is why it is used where you want fast service access. For motor leads, equipment grounds, and control panel landings that see vibration, the ring is the one to specify.
7) What does the yellow sleeve on a 3M Highland ring terminal mean?
The vinyl sleeve is color coded to the wire range, so you can identify the right terminal across a bin at a glance rather than reading the stamp. Yellow is the color carried on the Highland ring terminals here. Match the color to the conductor size you are landing, then confirm the stud size against the model number.
8) How many terminals come in a bag of 3M Highland ring terminals?
25 per bag. That is the stocking unit for every model in the Highland ring terminal family, which keeps van and crib inventory easy to count for maintenance crews and panel shops.
