Overview

The ABB RC480 Nylon Insulated Rectangular Ring Terminal (SKU: RC480) is a high-reliability electrical termination solution engineered for industrial and commercial wiring applications. This terminal features a durable nylon insulation jacket rated to UL 94 HB with a maximum operating temperature of 221°F (105°C), ensuring long-term performance in demanding environments. The tin-plated copper construction provides excellent conductivity and corrosion resistance, while the serrated internal barrel design delivers maximum tensile strength and secure wire retention. The metal insulation grip sleeve crimps directly to the wire insulation, offering strain relief and protection against vibration-induced failures—a critical feature for high-vibration applications such as control panels, industrial machinery, and power distribution systems. Key specifications include a 1.531-inch length, 0.390-inch width, and a #8 bolt hole size, making it compatible with standard hardware. The terminal accommodates #12 to #10 AWG wire ranges, with a maximum insulation diameter of 0.225 inches. The yellow color coding ensures quick visual identification in complex wiring systems. UL and CSA certified to 600V per UL 486A/B standards, the RC480 meets rigorous safety and performance requirements for industrial electrical installations. Ideal for use in control panels, motor controllers, HVAC systems, and renewable energy installations, the RC480 provides a secure, vibration-resistant connection that reduces maintenance costs and downtime. The continuously molded design ensures consistent crimping performance when used with compatible tools such as the CT-100, CT-1550, or CT-2300/ST crimp applicators. For applications requiring high vibration resistance, this terminal’s ring tongue design and insulation grip sleeve minimize wire fatigue and joint stress. Choose the ABB RC480 for a reliable, code-compliant termination solution that balances durability, safety, and ease of installation in industrial electrical systems.
