Panduit Pan-Term® PV8 Series Vinyl-Insulated Ring Terminal
The Panduit Pan-Term® PV8 Series Ring Terminal is a vinyl-insulated, funnel-entry ring terminal built for large-gauge wire terminations, sized for 8 AWG copper conductors. This family is available with a stud size selection of 1/4" Stud, 3/8" Stud, or 5/16" Stud, letting installers match the terminal to the post or lug on hand while keeping the same 8 AWG wire capacity and construction across every option. It is rated to a maximum of 600V and carries cULus Listing 587H E52164 for demanding electrical, industrial, and OEM applications. The tin-plated copper barrel and vinyl insulation combine reliable conductivity with added dielectric protection, and the terminal is RoHS Compliant for environmentally conscious installations.

Panduit PV8-38R-QY – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire size do Panduit PV8 ring terminals take?
The Pan-Term PV8 ring terminal is sized for 8 AWG copper conductor only. It is not a range barrel, so 10 AWG or 6 AWG wire will not crimp correctly in it. Strip the conductor back 3/8 inch (9.5 mm) before inserting into the funnel entry barrel.
2) What stud sizes are available in the PV8 8 AWG ring terminal?
Three stud sizes: 1/4 inch (PV8-14RX-QY), 5/16 inch (PV8-56R-QY), and 3/8 inch (PV8-38R-QY). Pick by the diameter of the post or lug bolt you are landing on, not by the wire size, since all three take 8 AWG.
3) Which crimp tool and die do I need for Panduit PV8 terminals?
Panduit specifies the CT-720 tool with die CD-720PV8-2, or the CT-2600 tool with die CD-2600-PV8. The die is sold separately from the tool, so order both if you are not already set up for 8 AWG vinyl terminals.
4) Can I use a PV8 ring terminal on a 600V panel circuit?
Yes. The PV8 vinyl-insulated ring terminal is rated to a maximum of 600V (0.6 kV), which covers standard commercial and industrial panel and control wiring. It carries cULus Listing 587H E52164.
5) How hot can these vinyl-insulated terminals run?
105 C (221 F) is the maximum operating temperature for the PV8 series. That suits most panel, control, and OEM equipment wiring; for anything running hotter, vinyl insulation is the wrong choice and you want a nylon-insulated or uninsulated lug instead.
6) Are Panduit PV8 ring terminals RoHS compliant and free of lead and mercury?
RoHS compliant, with no lead and no mercury content indicated, and no California Prop 65 cancer listing. They are also ARRA compliant and carry a UL94V-0 flammability rating on the insulation. Country of origin is Mexico.
7) Will a PV8 ring terminal hold up in a damp or corrosive environment?
The barrel and tongue are copper with a tin plating, which is the standard plating for corrosion resistance on copper terminations, and the vinyl sleeve covers the crimp. That is fine for indoor industrial and panel work. For direct outdoor or wet-location grounding you would normally add a sealant or move to a heat-shrink insulated terminal.
8) How many PV8 terminals come in a pack?
Standard package is 25 pieces, and a full carton is 250. The color code is red, which is how you spot the 8 AWG size in a bin of mixed terminals.
9) Is the tongue on the PV8 thick enough to stack under a bolt with other lugs?
Tongue thickness is 0.04 inch (1 mm). That is thin-gauge stamped stock, so if you are stacking multiple terminations on one stud, watch your bolt engagement and torque, and do not rely on the tongue to bridge a gap the way a heavy cast lug would.
