Thomas & Betts 14RBC-8 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire size does the Thomas & Betts 14RBC-8 ring terminal take?
The 14RBC-8 is sized for 16-14 AWG heavy duty wire, and its green insulation is the color code that goes with that range in the RBC series. The vinyl insulator accepts insulation up to 0.21 inch outside diameter, so heavier-jacketed 14 AWG still seats in the barrel.
2) Will this ring terminal fit a #8 screw or stud?
Yes, the 14RBC-8 is built for a #8 stud. The ring tongue measures 0.39 inch across with a 0.29 inch opening dimension, so it clears a #8 screw head-to-stud landing without needing to be filed out.
3) What crimp tool should I use on a T&B 14RBC-8 terminal?
Thomas & Betts calls out the WT2130A as the recommended tool for this terminal. The WT2000 and ERG4001 are also listed application tools for it. Using the matched die is what gets the deep internal serrations to bite; the funneled barrel entry helps you start the strands without birdcaging them.
4) Is the 14RBC-8 ring terminal rated for 600V control wiring?
It carries a 600V rating with a 105 C temperature rating, and the vinyl insulation is UL 94 V-0 flammability rated. That covers typical line-voltage control panel and motor terminal work. The terminal is UL and CSA listed and RoHS compliant.
5) Is this ring terminal copper or aluminum, and will it corrode on an outdoor panel?
The barrel and tongue are copper with an electro tin-plated finish. Tin plating is what lets it land on steel or brass studs without the dissimilar-metal problem you get with bare copper, and stock thickness is 0.03 inch. It is a copper-only connector, so do not use it on aluminum conductors.
6) How many 14RBC-8 terminals come in a pack, and can I buy just a few?
They are sold each, but ordered in multiples of 50. Inner package is 50 pieces and the outer carton holds 250. So the smallest quantity you can put on an order is 50.
7) Why choose a ring terminal instead of a fork terminal for panel work?
A ring tongue is closed, so it cannot slip off the stud if the nut backs off under vibration. That is why ring terminals like the 14RBC-8 are the default on motor terminals, grounding studs, and anything that moves. A fork is faster to service because you can loosen the screw and swing the wire out, so it is the better pick on terminal blocks you expect to re-land often. Match the stud size either way: this one is #8.
8) How much room does a 14RBC-8 ring terminal need behind a terminal block?
Overall length is 1.13 inches with a 0.93 inch dimension from the barrel end, so plan on roughly an inch and an eighth of straight run past the stud before the wire can bend. In tight wireways that is the number that decides whether you use a ring or a spade.
