RS PRO Insulated Ring Terminal 4.3 mm Stud, Blue, 16 - 14 AWG, Nylon, Copper, E245391, 178-7259

The RS PRO 178-7259 Insulated Ring Terminal is engineered to deliver a robust and secure connection in electrical installations requiring reliable terminations for 16 to 14 AWG wires. With a stud size of 4.3 mm, this terminal is designed to be compatible with standard mounting posts, making it suitable for a wide range of electrical and electronic applications.

The primary construction consists of a copper contact core, offering excellent electrical conductivity that minimizes resistance and ensures efficient current flow. The tin plating over the copper further protects the contact surface from oxidation, providing long-term corrosion resistance and operational reliability even in challenging environments.

For enhanced user safety and mechanical protection, the terminal incorporates blue nylon insulation. This high-grade nylon covering helps to prevent accidental short-circuits, electrical shocks, and provides additional strain relief to the terminated wire. Its insulation allows the terminal to withstand operating temperatures from -40°C up to 105°C, making it suited for industrial, commercial, and automotive settings where environmental conditions may vary.

The terminal features an outer ring diameter of 8 mm and an inner ring diameter of 4.3 mm, ensuring a precise and secure fit when mounted to the appropriate stud. Supporting wire sizes from 16 AWG (minimum) to 14 AWG (maximum) or wire cross-sections from 1.5 mm² to 2.5 mm², it delivers versatility for connecting conductors of varying sizes within the permitted range.

Measuring 22 mm in overall length and 0.8 mm in material thickness, the design allows for easy crimping and installation within tight spaces. The blue color coding adheres to standard electrical identification practices, simplifying installation and inspection procedures.

Ideal for use in control panels, manufacturing equipment, automotive harnesses, machinery, and building wiring assemblies, this insulated ring terminal helps facilitate safe, organized, and reliable electrical connections in both new installations and repair work. Its precise dimensions and quality materials ensure dependable performance, in line with panel assembly and maintenance standards.
