Overview

The ABB K972U Non-Insulated Tubular Ring Terminal is a premium-grade electrical connection solution designed for industrial applications requiring high reliability and durability. Engineered by ABB - Installation Products, this terminal features a robust 90-degree bend design, ensuring precise alignment and space-saving installation in tight or confined spaces. The terminal is constructed from high-conductivity copper with a tin-plated finish, providing superior electrical performance and exceptional corrosion resistance—critical for long-term reliability in harsh environments. The K972U accommodates a wire range from 2/0AN to 3/0, making it highly versatile for heavy-duty wiring systems in industrial, commercial, and utility installations. Its bolt hole diameter of 5/16 inches ensures compatibility with standard hardware, while the compact dimensions (2.08 inches in length and 0.93 inches in width) allow for seamless integration into compact electrical panels, junction boxes, or control cabinets. The terminal’s uninsulated design eliminates insulation interference, enabling direct crimping for maximum conductivity and mechanical strength. Packaged in a 50-piece bulk configuration, the K972U is ideal for large-scale projects, offering cost-effective bulk purchasing without compromising on quality or performance. The ring tongue design ensures a secure, vibration-resistant connection, reducing the risk of loosening over time—a critical feature in high-vibration applications such as machinery, transportation, and industrial equipment. With a maximum rating of 600V and 105°C, this terminal meets stringent UL and CSA safety standards, ensuring compliance with global electrical codes. Whether you're working on motor control centers, switchgear, or renewable energy systems, the ABB K972U delivers unmatched durability, conductivity, and ease of installation. Trust ABB’s legacy of engineering excellence to power your most demanding electrical connections.
