Insulated Ring
A ring terminal with a colour-coded sleeve gives a bolted joint that is covered up to the stud. Panel builders, appliance makers, auto electricians and dealers use each insulated ring terminal size on studs, earth points and control terminals. Every insulated cable lug has a sleeve that supports the wire and shows its size at a glance, so insulated lugs are easy to pick on a busy job.

Colour Coded Ring Terminal Range
A good ring terminal crimp grips both the conductor and the insulation, so the wire does not pull out or bend at the barrel. The closed ring stays on the stud even if the nut works loose, which is why it is the first choice for earthing and vibrating equipment. Match the ring hole to the stud and the colour to the wire size, and see the product page for the full chart.
Crimp them with a ring terminal crimping tool that has matching colour-coded dies. For joins between two wires, use a butt connector. Ashwin Tools ships across India with 10-day returns, and panel and auto electrical dealers can sign up through our dealership programme.
