RS PRO E245391 Uninsulated Ring Terminal 3.2 mm Stud Size, 16 AWG to 14 AWG, Grey 178-8598

The RS PRO E245391 uninsulated ring terminal, model 178-8598, is engineered for dependable crimp connections in a range of industrial and commercial electrical applications. This terminal is made from high-quality copper for superior conductivity and is coated with tin plating to resist corrosion and ensure long-lasting durability. Its uninsulated design makes it suitable for installations where insulation is either not required or will be provided separately.

This model is designed to fit a 3.2 mm stud size and supports wire sizes from 16 AWG to 14 AWG (1.5 mm² to 2.5 mm²), providing flexibility for common wiring tasks. The terminal features a 6.6 mm outer ring diameter and an overall length of 12.8 mm, allowing it to fit efficiently into control panels, junction boxes, and harness assemblies.

With a thickness of 0.8 mm, the terminal offers mechanical strength while maintaining compatibility with standard crimping tools. Its grey color provides easy visual identification, which is particularly valuable in complex wiring looms and organized panels. The product is suitable for use in environments with temperatures as low as -40°C and as high as 150°C, making it a reliable choice in both indoor and outdoor settings.

The uninsulated copper core delivers low resistance connections, essential for consistent power or signal transmission. The terminal does not include pre-installed insulation, allowing engineers to select custom insulation or deploy in grounded applications as required by their circuit design.

The RS PRO E245391 ring terminal complies with industrial builder requirements and is commonly adopted in electrical maintenance, switchgear, HVAC equipment, and manufacturing controls. Its robust build supports high mechanical loads and ensures that wiring tasks are accomplished securely and efficiently.

Uninsulated design for efficient crimp termination on a wide range of cable types. 3.2 mm stud size supports compatibility with standard hardware and lugs. Accommodates 16 AWG to 14 AWG wires (1.5 mm² to 2.5 mm² cross-section).

6.6 mm outer ring diameter fits neatly into confined panels and terminal strips. Operates reliably from -40°C to 150°C for extended temperature resilience. Grey finish for clear wire identification and aesthetic conformity in assemblies.
