Thomas & Betts C10-38 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What crimping tool do I need for the Thomas & Betts C10-38?
Thomas & Betts calls out WT110M, WT111M, WT112M, WT2000 and ERG4002 as application tools, with ERG4002 and ERG4005 as the recommended ones. Either a single-indentor or double-indentor crimp works; the double indentor is recommended when you're crimping solid wire. The barrel is serrated to grip the conductor.
2) Can I use this ring terminal in a 480V panel or a high-heat equipment enclosure?
It's rated 600V, so 480V and 277/480V panel work is within rating. Temperature rating is 150 C, which covers motor terminal boxes, transformer connections and other warm enclosures. It's UL and CSA recognized and RoHS compliant.
3) Is the C10-38 ring terminal insulated?
No. It's a non-insulated ring terminal, bare electrolytic copper with tin plating. That means you supply your own insulation at the barrel if the application needs it, typically heat shrink or tape, and it also means you can inspect the crimp visually after it's made.
4) Does the C10-38 ring terminal meet a military spec?
It is built to MS20659-128. If your drawing or contract calls out that MS number, this is the part that answers it.
5) How many C10-38 ring terminals come in a pack, and is there an order minimum?
Inner packs are 50 pieces and outer cartons are 250. It's sold each, but orders go in multiples of 50, so plan quantities in 50s for a job.
6) What are the physical dimensions of the C10-38 ring tongue terminal?
Published dimensions are A 1.1 inches, B 0.59 inches, C 0.45 inches and M 0.8 inches, on 0.04 inch stock thickness. That tongue width matters if you're landing several terminals side by side on a crowded ground bar or stud. Weight runs 5.63 lbs per 1000 pieces.
7) What is the flammability rating on the C10-38 terminal?
It carries a UL 94 V-0 flammability rating, which is the rating institutional and MRO specs usually ask for on terminal components in enclosures.
