Panduit PV2-38R-XY – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire size and stud size does the Panduit PV2-38R-XY ring terminal fit?
The PV2-38R-XY takes a single 2 AWG copper conductor and lands on a 3/8 inch stud. The stud hole measures 10mm, so it clears a 3/8 inch bolt or busbar stud. It is sized for copper only, not aluminum.
2) How much insulation do I strip back for a 2 AWG Pan-Term ring terminal?
Strip 1/2 inch. The barrel is 0.81 inch (20.5mm) long with a funnel entry, so the stripped strands feed in without birdcaging, and a 1/2 inch strip puts the conductor fully into the barrel without leaving bare copper outside the insulation sleeve.
3) Which crimp tool and die do I need for the Panduit PV2-38R-XY?
Use the Panduit CT-720 with the CD-720PV8-2 die, or the CT-2600/L with the CD-2600-PV2 die. A 2 AWG insulated barrel this size will not crimp properly with a hand tool sized for small insulated terminals, so match the die before you start the run.
4) Is the Panduit PV2-38R-XY ring terminal UL listed and what voltage is it rated for?
It is cULus Listed under 587H E52164, rated to 600V (0.6kV) with a maximum operating temperature of 221 degrees F. That covers typical panel wiring, motor control and power distribution work in the US and Canada.
5) Will a 2 AWG ring terminal fit in a tight panel or on a crowded breaker lug?
Check your clearance against these numbers: overall length is 49.8mm, tongue length 29.2mm, tongue width 0.68 inch, and the insulated barrel is 0.56 inch in outside diameter. Tongue thickness is 0.06 inch (1.5mm), so it stacks thin under a nut or washer. On tight breaker or busbar spacing, the 0.68 inch tongue width is usually the limiting dimension.
6) Is a vinyl-insulated ring terminal the right choice for a hot enclosure, or should I use a non-insulated lug with heat shrink?
Vinyl tops out at 221 degrees F here, which is fine for most panel, switchgear and motor control interiors. If your conductor insulation or enclosure runs hotter than that, or you need a moisture seal on the barrel, a non-insulated copper lug with adhesive-lined heat shrink is the better route. The advantage of the vinyl version is that the sleeve is already there, color coded red for 2 AWG identification, and the funnel entry speeds up large-wire insertion.
7) What is the difference between a Panduit PV2-38R-XY and an Eaton FJCWTK control wire terminal kit?
The Panduit PV2-38R-XY is a single vinyl-insulated copper ring terminal, tin-plated, sized for 2 AWG conductor with a 1/2 inch strip length and a 0.68 inch tongue width. The Eaton FJCWTK is a control wire terminal kit sold as a circuit breaker accessory for Eaton Series G breakers, so it is matched to a breaker family rather than to a wire gauge and stud size. Choose the Panduit lug when you are terminating large copper conductors to a stud in a panel or switchgear; choose the Eaton kit when the Series G breaker itself needs control wire terminals.
8) Does tin plating matter on a copper ring terminal for grounding and damp locations?
The base is copper with a tin-plated finish. Tin plating slows oxidation on the crimp barrel and the tongue face, which keeps contact resistance stable over time and helps where the connection sees humidity or mildly corrosive air. It also gives a compatible contact surface against plated busbars and steel hardware.
9) How are Panduit PV2-38R-XY ring terminals packaged and what is the minimum order?
They sell by the pack, with a 50 piece minimum order quantity and a standard carton of 100. Standard package weight is 0.29 lb and the carton weighs 2.9 lb. Country of origin is Mexico.
10) Does the Panduit PV2-38R-XY contain lead or mercury, and is it a Prop 65 concern?
Lead and mercury content indicators are both N, and the California Prop 65 cancer flag is No. REACH status is listed as N. That is the compliance record we hold for institutional and government submittal packages.
