Insulated Crimp Ring Terminals

Insulated crimp ring terminals, also known as ring connectors or cable lugs, are designed for connecting electrical cables or wires to studs or posts on electrical components, such as battery terminals. These terminals are made from highly conductive copper and are tin-plated for maximum electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance. They feature color-coded vinyl insulation for terminal protection and easy identification of terminal sizes. When correctly crimped, these terminals provide secure and reliable electrical connections.

Features and Benefits:

• High Conductivity: Copper body material ensures excellent conductivity and easy crimping.
• Corrosion Resistance: Tin plating adds strength and provides excellent conductivity.
• Electrical Insulation: Vinyl insulation protects the terminal and ensures safety.
• Easy Identification: Color-coded insulation allows quick identification of terminal size.
• User-Friendly: Expanded insulation entry facilitates easy wire insertion.
• Temperature Resilience: Can operate at temperatures up to 75°C.

Typical Applications:

These insulated crimp ring connectors are widely used in various industries for wire connections to electrical components, including:

• Industrial control systems
• Industrial machinery
• Automotive applications
• Communication equipment
• Power supplies
• Domestic appliances

Selecting the Correct Ring Terminal Size:

When choosing the right ring terminal for your application, consider the following:

• Wire Gauge: Choose based on the metric (mm) or AWG (American Wire Gauge) of the wire or cable.
• Stud Size: Ensure compatibility with the stud size to which the ring terminal will be connected.
• Inner Diameter: Check the inner diameter of the ring terminal for a proper fit.

FAQs:

How do you Crimp a Ring Terminal?

1. Select the Correct Sized Terminal: Match the ring terminal size with your wire gauge and stud size.
2. Strip the Wire: Strip the end of the wire to the same length as the terminal barrel.
3. Insert the Wire: Place the wire into the terminal barrel, ensuring no bare wire is visible.
4. Crimp the Terminal: Use pliers or, preferably, a ratchet crimping tool for a higher quality crimp. Insert the barrel into the correct crimping section marked on the tool.
5. Complete the Crimp: Squeeze the tool handles until the ratchet releases, indicating a full crimp cycle is complete.
6. Secure the Connection: Place the crimped ring terminal over the stud or post and secure it with a nut or by soldering.
