Panduit EV18 StrongHold™ Insulated Ring Terminal, Vinyl, Red, 22-18 AWG

The Panduit StrongHold™ Insulated Ring Terminal is a contractor-grade, economical connector built to withstand general-purpose electrical applications. Constructed with a red vinyl insulation over a copper base, it accommodates 22-18 AWG (0.5-1 mm²) copper conductors and is available in three stud sizes — 1/4 in. Stud (M6), #6 Stud (M3.5), and #8 Stud (M4) — to fit a range of terminal block and stud configurations, with a maximum voltage rating of 600V. The ring tongue design assures a secure, vibration-resistant connection, and the funnel entry barrel simplifies wire insertion during termination.

Key Features

  • Wire Range: Accommodates 22-18 AWG (0.5-1 mm²) copper conductors for reliable termination.
  • Stud Size Options: Available in 1/4 in. Stud (M6), #6 Stud (M3.5), and #8 Stud (M4) to match a wide range of terminal applications.
  • Durable Construction: Copper base material with tin-plated finish resists corrosion for lasting conductivity.
  • Insulation: Red vinyl insulation, 0.15 in. (3.8 mm) diameter, color-codes the wire range at a glance.
  • Ring Tongue Design: Funnel entry, butted-seam barrel with 0.03 in. (0.8 mm) tongue thickness assures a secure connection in high-vibration applications.

Panduit EV18-14RB-Q – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What stud sizes do the Panduit StrongHold EV18 red ring terminals come in?
Three stud sizes are offered on the EV18 red insulated ring terminal: #6 stud (M3.5) as EV18-6RB-Q, #8 stud (M4) as EV18-8RB-Q, and 1/4 in. stud (M6) as EV18-14RB-Q. All three take the same 22-18 AWG copper wire range, so you pick strictly by the screw or stud you are landing on.
2) Will a red Panduit EV18 ring terminal crimp onto 16 AWG wire?
No. The red EV18 barrel is sized for 22-18 AWG copper only (0.5 to 1 mm2). For 16 AWG you need the next color up in the StrongHold insulated ring range, not the red one. Red insulation is the color code for the 22-18 band.
3) How much insulation do I strip before crimping a Panduit EV18 ring terminal?
Strip 5/16 in. (7.9 mm). That length fills the funnel-entry barrel without leaving bare copper standing outside the insulation sleeve, which is what keeps terminations consistent when you are doing a panel full of them.
4) Will the vinyl sleeve on the EV18 fit over the insulation on my wire?
The sleeve accepts wire insulation up to 0.15 in. (3.8 mm) outside diameter. Most 22-18 AWG THHN and machine tool wire falls under that, but thick-jacketed or double-insulated conductors in that gauge can exceed it, so measure the jacket OD if you are working with anything heavier than standard building or panel wire.
5) How hot can a vinyl-insulated Panduit ring terminal run?
The EV18 is rated to 105 C (221 F). That is the vinyl sleeve's limit, so it suits enclosures, panels, and general industrial wiring but not high-heat terminations near heating elements or engine exhaust, where a nylon or heat-shrink insulated terminal is the right call.
6) Why use a ring terminal instead of a spade or fork terminal on a vibrating machine?
A ring tongue is closed, so it cannot back off the stud if the nut loosens the way a fork terminal can slide out. The EV18 tongue is 0.03 in. (0.8 mm) thick copper, tin plated, with a butted-seam barrel, which is why it is specified for high-vibration industrial terminations. A fork terminal is only worth it when you need to land the wire without fully removing the nut.
7) Is a tin-plated copper ring terminal OK for aluminum conductors?
No. The EV18 is a copper-base, tin-plated terminal rated for copper conductors in the 22-18 AWG range. Aluminum wire requires a terminal specifically listed AL or AL/CU. Using this one on aluminum is not a listed combination.
8) How are Panduit EV18 ring terminals packaged and what is the minimum order?
They ship in bags, with a standard package quantity of 25 pieces and a standard carton of 250. Minimum order is 250 pieces. Plan quantities in carton multiples if you are stocking a truck or a shop bin.
9) What is the ring diameter on the 1/4 in. stud version of the Panduit EV18?
The tongue outer diameter is 0.25 in. (6.4 mm) on the EV18 red series. Match the variant to the hardware: EV18-6RB-Q for #6 (M3.5) studs, EV18-8RB-Q for #8 (M4), and EV18-14RB-Q for 1/4 in. (M6).
