Thomas & Betts 14RB-8 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What wire gauge does the Thomas & Betts 14RB-8 ring terminal accept?
The 14RB-8 is sized for 18 to 14 AWG stranded or solid copper wire. That is the blue-coded band in the standard terminal color system, and the insulation sleeve will take a wire insulation OD up to 0.17 inch. If your conductor is 16 AWG THHN or 18 AWG control wire, this is the right barrel; 12-10 AWG needs a yellow-coded terminal instead.
2) Which crimp tool should I use on Thomas & Betts RB series insulated terminals?
Thomas & Betts lists the ERG4001 as the recommended tool for the 14RB-8. Also rated for it are the WT145C, WT2000, WT112M and ERG4003. Using an insulated-terminal die matters here, because the barrel is a brazed seam with serrations and the crimp has to compress both the barrel and the vinyl sleeve to get the rated pull-out. A generic uninsulated die will cut the sleeve.
3) Is this terminal rated for 600V control and panel wiring?
It is. The 14RB-8 carries a 600V rating with a 105 degree C temperature rating, which covers motor control centers, panel interiors and equipment terminal blocks. The vinyl sleeve is UL 94 V-0 flame rated, and the terminal is UL and CSA recognized.
4) How many ring terminals come in a pack, and can I buy fewer than 100?
They ship 100 to an inner pack, and 100 is the order multiple, so quantities go up in hundreds rather than singles. The outer carton holds 500. For a panel shop stocking a bin this is the normal buy; for a one-off repair you are still buying the 100 pack.
5) Is this ring terminal suitable for damp or corrosive environments?
The body is copper with an electro tin-plated finish, which is the standard plating for corrosion resistance on a terminal and keeps the contact surface from oxidizing at the stud. It is not a sealed or adhesive-lined heat shrink terminal, so for direct wet or marine exposure you want a heat-shrink insulated ring instead. Indoors, in panels, MCCs and equipment enclosures, the tin plating is what you want.
6) Does the blue vinyl sleeve give any strain relief where the wire flexes?
Yes. The RB series uses an extra-length PVC sleeve that extends past the crimp barrel onto the wire insulation, so the conductor is supported at the flex point instead of breaking strands right at the crimp. That matters on door hardware, motor leads and any connection that gets moved during service. The sleeve accepts wire insulation up to 0.17 inch outside diameter.
7) Is the Thomas & Betts 14RB-8 RoHS compliant?
Yes, the 14RB-8 is RoHS compliant, which is what most institutional and government procurement specs call for on electrical components. It is also UL and CSA recognized for use in listed assemblies.
8) How long is this ring terminal overall, and will it fit in a tight terminal block?
The 14RB-8 measures 0.97 inch overall with a 0.81 inch dimension and a stock thickness of 0.03 inch at the tongue. In a crowded terminal strip, that 0.03 inch tongue stacks thin enough to double up under a #8 screw where the block allows it, and the overall length is what to check against your wire bend radius inside the gutter.
