RS PRO RS PRO round crimp terminal

Specification
Insulation: Non-insulated Width: 12.6mm Minimum Wire Size mm2: 1.5mm2 Maximum Wire Size mm2: 2.5mm2 Minimum Wire Size AWG: 16AWG Maximum Wire Size AWG: 14AWG Stud Size: M8 Contact Plating: Tin Contact Material: Copper Thickness: 0.8 mm RS PRO Non-Insulated Round Crimp Terminals. High quality, economical RS PRO series round crimp terminals, also known as ring connectors or cable lugs. Round crimp terminals are used to connect electrical cables or wires to studs or posts on electrical components such as battery terminals. These round terminals are monolithically molded from highly conductive copper and are tin plated. This manufacturing process produces closed barrel terminals with butt seams for a secure fit. When properly crimped onto a wire or cable, this ring terminal provides a safe and reliable electrical connection. Features and Benefits One-piece design for economy and durability Closed barrel keeps crimp terminal securely in place around cable Butt seam prevents crimp terminal barrel from cracking at maximum pressure Made of copper Body material is highly conductive and easy to crimp Tin-plated crimp terminals provide corrosion resistance, increased strength, reduced friction, and are easy to solder Funnel-shaped internal barrel for easy wire insertion Maximum operating temperature: 150 °C. Intended use. Non-insulated ring terminals are used where there is no danger of accidentally touching and shorting the connection. These crimp ring wire connectors are used in a variety of industries to connect wires to electrical components. Applications include wiring in industrial control systems, industrial machinery, automobiles, communications equipment, power supplies, and consumer electronics. Choose the correct size ring terminal. When choosing the right ring terminal for your application, you should consider the following: The wire gauge mm (metric) or AWG (American Wire Gauge) of the wire or cable you are using The size of the stud that the ring terminal will be attached to The inner diameter of the ring terminal How to crimp the ring terminal First, correct size. Select the ring terminal for Remove the end of the wire and cut it to the same length as the terminal. Insert the wire into the terminal barrel until no bare wire is visible. The crimp terminal is now ready to be crimped onto the end of the wire. Pliers or a ratchet can be used to crimp the wire terminals, but a ratchet crimping tool is recommended for a better quality crimp. A ratchet crimping tool is recommended as the handle will remain locked until the crimp cycle is complete. This prevents half-baked crimps. Insert the ring terminal barrel into the appropriate crimp (identified by the size marked on the tool). Squeeze the handle of the tool until the ratchet is released. The ring crimp terminal can now be placed over the stud or post and secured in place with a nut or solder. Appropriate crimp tool. For suitable ratchet crimp tool see part number 624-1291 624-1291.
