Ring terminals
Ring terminals, also known as ring cable lugs or eyelet terminals, are cable connectors with a ring-shaped end. This shape makes them easy to connect to installations and electrical components.
Types of ring terminals
Our range of ring terminals consists entirely of insulated versions. These are made of a copper connector and an insulating PVC sleeve. The sleeve provides additional safety by preventing short circuits and electric shocks, and it protects the fine strands of the cable from damage.
Color coding and cable diameter
The color of the insulation indicates the suitable cable core diameter:
- Red: 0.5 – 1.5 mm² cable core (AWG 22 – 16)
- Blue: 1.5 – 2.5 mm² cable core (AWG 16 – 14)
- Yellow: 4.0 – 6.0 mm² cable core (AWG 12 – 10)
Technical specifications
Ring terminals are available in various sizes. The total length ranges from 18 to 34.5 mm. The hole diameter varies from a minimum of 3.2 mm to a maximum of 10.5 mm.
They can withstand temperatures up to 75 °C and a maximum electrical voltage of 600 volts.
Installation of ring terminals
Ring terminals are used to create an electrical connection between a stripped cable and an electrical component, such as a terminal block. Installation is simple:
· Strip the end of the cable.
· Insert the wires into the terminal.
· Crimp the terminal using a crimping tool.
· Place the ring under a screw terminal and tighten it.
