The ring terminal is a common type of terminal used for connecting wires, cables, and electronic equipment. Its professional features include:
Simple Structural Design: The ring terminal is circular in shape, making it easy to secure with screws or bolts, ensuring a stable and safe connection. It is often used in applications requiring a strong connection.
Good Conductivity: Typically made from copper, brass, or other metals with excellent conductivity, the surface is often plated with tin or nickel to prevent oxidation and ensure long-term reliable conductivity.
Available in Multiple Sizes: Ring terminals come in a wide range of sizes that can be selected based on wire gauge (AWG standard) and bolt diameter. Common sizes include M3, M4, M5, M6, and M8, to meet different application needs.
High Reliability: The ring design offers a large contact area with the cable, providing a secure connection that can withstand high current and voltage. It also remains tight in environments with high vibration or mechanical stress.
Insulated or Non-insulated Options: Ring terminals are available with or without insulation sleeves. Insulated ring terminals provide better protection against short circuits and electric shock, while non-insulated terminals are suitable for higher temperatures and more demanding environments.
Easy Installation: Installation is simple—just strip the cable, insert it into the terminal, and crimp it with a tool. This makes it especially suitable for applications requiring quick wiring and maintenance.
Corrosion Resistance and Durability: The plating not only improves conductivity but also enhances corrosion resistance, making these terminals suitable for use in harsh environments, such as those with moisture, high salt content, or high temperatures.
Ring terminals are commonly used in automotive, electrical equipment, industrial control systems, and home appliances, particularly in electrical systems that require secure connections.
