3M Scotchlok Vinyl Insulated Ring Terminal, 22-18 AWG

3M Scotchlok MV18-8R/LX Vinyl-Insulated Ring Terminal, 22-18 AWG

The 3M Scotchlok MV18-8R/LX is a vinyl-insulated ring terminal engineered for dependable wire terminations on 22-18 AWG conductors. This connector features a standard-style ring tongue that fits completely around the stud, providing a secure mechanical and electrical connection that resists loosening under vibration and repeated handling in the field. The vinyl insulation surrounding the crimp barrel adds a protective layer against accidental contact and helps shield the termination point from moisture and everyday jobsite debris. Packaged 100 terminals to a bottle, the MV18-8R/LX gives electrical contractors, panel builders, and maintenance technicians a ready supply of consistent, easy-to-crimp ring terminals for recurring wiring tasks, from control panels to grounding connections and general-purpose circuits. Whether you're closing out a service call or stocking a truck for a week of panel work, having a reliable, correctly sized ring terminal on hand keeps installations code-compliant and reduces callbacks tied to loose or corroded connections.

Key Features
