Ring Terminals
When making electrical connections, crimp ring terminals onto the ends of the wires to ensure
good contacts. A properly crimped ring terminal has these characteristics:
• The barrel crimping indent is well-formed and properly positioned.
• The insulated wire’s grip impression is well-formed and provides proper support without
crushing the insulation.
• The wire does not move independently of the lug. Firmly tug on the ring terminal to ensure
it does not pull loose.
• The end of the bare wire protrudes through the crimp barrel approximately 0.03 to 0.125"
depending on the lug size and crimp tool.
