Overview

The ABB RB853M Nylon Insulated Ring Terminal (SKU: RB853M) is a high-reliability, UL and CSA certified electrical termination solution designed for secure connections in industrial, commercial, and control panel applications. Engineered with a 0.89-inch (22.6 mm) length and 0.31-inch (7.9 mm) width, this terminal accommodates #18 to #14 AWG solid or stranded copper wires, providing a robust mechanical and electrical connection. The terminal features a #6 bolt hole for secure fastening to studs or screws, ensuring stability in high-vibration environments such as switchgear, motor controls, and machinery. Constructed from tin-plated copper with a brazed seam, the RB853M delivers superior conductivity and corrosion resistance, extending service life in harsh conditions. The nylon insulation, rated UL 94 HB with a maximum temperature of 221°F (105°C), provides dielectric strength up to 600V per UL 486A/B standards. A metal insulation grip sleeve crimps directly to the wire insulation, offering strain relief and preventing damage from bending or vibration. Internal barrel serrations ensure maximum tensile strength and wire retention, reducing the risk of loose connections. Packaged on Mylar tape in a 1,000-count bulk pack, the RB853M is optimized for high-volume installations and automated crimping tools like the Panduit CT-100, CT-1550, or CT-2300/ST. The blue color coding simplifies identification in multi-wire systems. Ideal for grounding, power distribution, and signal wiring, this terminal meets the demands of UL and CSA certified installations where safety and performance are critical.
