Ring Terminals

Ring terminals and spade lugs for reliable electrical connections Ring terminals – known as lug terminals – are electrical terminals that join wiring to a stud or screw connection. On one end, ring terminals are equipped with a closed or open crimp barrel to make an electrical connection with the wire. On the other end is a ring-shaped tongue installed on equipment by a bolt or screw that goes through the ring. Spade terminals – known as spade lugs – join or disconnect a single wire that is connected to a screw or stud. Its shape, which resembles a fork or spade, allows the user to easily connect or disconnect the electrical connection. Spade terminals can help you to connect electrical wires quickly, because screws and bolts only require loosening – instead of complete disassembly – when attaching or removing a connection.
