About:

"StrongHold Ring Terminal Vinyl Insulated" refers to a type of electrical terminal that is used to connect a wire to a stud, bolt, or any other similar connection point, offering a secure mechanical and electrical connection.

Also Known As:

• Insulated ring connectors
• Vinyl ring terminals
• Crimp ring terminals

Common Applications:

• Automotive wiring, such as grounding wires or power connections
• Industrial controls and machinery for secure electrical connections
• Consumer electronics for internal wiring connections
• Marine electronics where a durable and secure connection is necessary
• HVAC systems for connecting wiring to controls and components
• Electrical panels and distribution blocks

Standards Met:

• UL (Underwriters Laboratories) recognized or listed, ensuring that they have been tested for safety.
• CSA (Canadian Standards Association) certified, indicating compliance with Canadian standards.
• RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) compliant, which means they are free from specific hazardous materials banned in the EU.
• They may also meet specific standards for vibration, corrosion resistance, and tensile strength, among others.

Construction:

• A conductive metal, typically copper, for the terminal itself, providing a good electrical connection.
• A tin plating on the copper to prevent oxidation and to maintain good conductivity over time.
• Vinyl insulation surrounding the crimp barrel of the terminal, providing electrical insulation and environmental protection against moisture and short circuits.
• The insulation also often features a funnel entry design, which helps guide the wire into the terminal barrel, making it easier to crimp.

Features:

• Secure connection: Ring terminals are preferred when a secure, stable connection is needed, as they cannot easily slide off the stud or bolt.
• Easy installation: These terminals can be easily crimped onto a wire and then bolted or screwed to a connection point.
• Insulation: The vinyl insulation offers protection from shorts and provides a degree of environmental protection.
• Color-coding: Similar to other crimp terminals, these are often color-coded according to the size of the wire they accommodate, making it easier to select the right terminal for each wire gauge.
• Variety of sizes: Available in multiple sizes to accommodate various wire gauges and stud sizes.
• Durability: Constructed to withstand a range of environmental conditions and resist vibration, which is critical in many automotive and industrial applications.
