Overview

The ABB 18RA-8X Expanded Vinyl-Insulated Ring Terminal delivers a secure, corrosion-resistant electrical connection for industrial and commercial applications. Designed for wire sizes #22 to #18 AWG, this terminal features a #8 bolt hole for robust attachment to control panels, machinery, and electrical systems. Constructed from electrolytic copper with a tin plating, it ensures high conductivity and long-term reliability in demanding environments. The expanded vinyl insulation provides dielectric strength and environmental protection, while the red color enables quick identification and system organization. With a length of 0.97 inches and width of 0.31 inches, the 18RA-8X fits standard mounting configurations. The maximum insulation diameter of 0.170 inches accommodates heavy-wall wire insulation, reducing the risk of short circuits. This terminal is ideal for use in control panels, motor starters, and industrial machinery where secure, vibration-resistant connections are critical. Its compact design and durable construction make it a cost-effective solution for both new installations and maintenance projects.
