Scotchlok M8-38RK – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Is this ring terminal UL Listed and CSA certified for use in a commercial panel?
Yes. The Scotchlok M8-38RK carries UL and CSA agency approvals, under UL file E23438 and CSA file LR22190. Those file numbers are what an inspector or a submittal package usually wants to see. It is also RoHS 2011/65/EU compliant without exemption.
2) Is the Scotchlok M8-38RK insulated, and does it need heat shrink or boots?
It's a non-insulated terminal, bare tinned copper barrel with no sleeve. On a panel, motor control center, or ground bus that's usually fine. If the terminal sits where it can be touched or where it could flash to an adjacent phase, plan on adding heat shrink or an insulating boot yourself, because none comes on the part.
3) Will an 8 AWG ring terminal with a 3/8 inch tongue clear tight terminal spacing in a panel?
Overall the terminal measures 1.06 inches long by 0.59 inches wide, with 0.45 inch clearance dimension C, 0.77 inch dimension E, and 0.05 inch stock thickness. On crowded stud blocks measure the stud-to-stud pitch against the 0.59 inch tongue width before you crimp a full run, since adjacent bare tongues can touch.
4) Why use a ring terminal instead of a fork or spade on a 3/8 inch stud?
A ring tongue is captive. Once the nut is on, the wire cannot be pulled off the stud without backing the hardware all the way out, which is what you want on grounding, bonding, and motor feeds that get vibration. A fork or spade slips off under a loosened nut and is only worth the trade when you need to drop a wire out fast for service on a control terminal strip.
5) Can this terminal handle high heat near motors or inside an enclosure that runs hot?
The tinned electrolytic copper construction is rated to a maximum of 347 F (175 C), which covers hot enclosures, motor control centers, and industrial equipment wiring. The tin plating is there for corrosion resistance so the joint resistance doesn't climb over time.
6) What is the exact part number to order for a Scotchlok 8 AWG 3/8 inch ring terminal?
Order Scotchlok M8-38RK. It's the non-insulated brazed seam ring tongue for 8 AWG wire on a 3/8 inch stud, also catalogued by 3M ID 80610051288. The M prefix indicates the standard terminal style in the Scotchlok ring line.
7) How does a brazed seam barrel differ from a seamless or butted barrel terminal?
The M8-38RK uses a brazed barrel, meaning the rolled seam is brazed closed rather than left butted. A butted seam can split open when you crimp heavier gauges; brazed holds the barrel together under the die. The mouth is also beveled, which keeps the 8 AWG strands from spreading as you feed them in.
8) How many Scotchlok M8-38RK ring terminals come in a box?
They ship 200 per bulk box, loose rather than on a strip or reel. That is a stocking quantity for an MRO crib or a panel shop doing repeat 8 AWG ground and feeder terminations, not a small repair pack.
