Overview

The ABB BC14-38 Non-Insulated Heavy Duty Ring Terminal is a precision-engineered electrical termination solution designed for high-reliability applications in industrial, commercial, and utility environments. This terminal features a robust tin-plated copper construction that delivers superior electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance, ensuring long-term performance in demanding conditions. The 3/8-inch bolt hole accommodates secure mechanical fastening to bus bars, panels, or machinery, while the non-insulated design allows direct conductive contact for maximum current transfer efficiency. Engineered for wire sizes ranging from #16 to #14 AWG, the BC14-38 provides a secure crimp connection with internal barrel serrations that maximize tensile strength and prevent wire pull-out. The brazed seam construction prevents terminal barrel splitting during crimping, and the internally beveled barrel enables quick, error-free wire insertion. With a maximum operating temperature of 302°F (150°C) and UL/CSA certification for 2000V per UL 486A/B, this terminal meets the stringent requirements of power distribution systems, control panels, and industrial machinery. Compatible with standard crimp tools including CT-100, CT-1550, CT-1551, CT-2300/ST, CT-2500/L, and UP14ZLW, the BC14-38 is optimized for use with Panduit CA9 (CD9-2A) or CA-800EZ (CD-800-2) applicators. Its compact dimensions (1.09" length x 0.63" width) make it ideal for space-constrained installations where reliable electrical connections are critical. Trust ABB's decades of expertise in electrical installation products for dependable performance in heavy-duty applications.
