Terminals - Ring Connectors

1. Overview

Ring connectors are cylindrical metallic terminals with a closed loop at one end, designed to establish secure electrical connections between wires and screw-type terminals. They prevent wire fraying and ensure stable contact in high-vibration environments. Critical for power transmission and signal integrity in industrial and automotive systems.

2. Main Types & Functional Classification

Type	Functional Features	Application Examples
Open Barrel Ring	Split design for easy wire insertion	Battery terminals, control panels
Closed Barrel Ring	360 compression for maximum conductivity	High-vibration machinery
Insulated Ring	Polymer coating for short-circuit prevention	Automotive electronics

3. Structure & Composition

Typical construction includes:

Copper alloy body (C11000/C14500) with tin/nickel plating
Insulation sleeve (PVC/nylon, 105 C rating)
Barrel section with 2-3 crimping zones for wire retention
Loop diameter tolerance 0.1mm for screw compatibility

4. Key Technical Specifications

Parameter	Typical Range	Importance
Ampacity	10-150A	Current carrying capacity
Contact Resistance	0.5-5m	Power loss prevention
Dielectric Strength	1kV-5kV	Insulation reliability
Vibration Resistance	15G @ 10Hz-2kHz	Automotive compliance

5. Application Fields

Primary industries:

Automotive (battery cables, alternator connections)
Industrial automation (PLC terminals, motor drives)
Renewable energy (solar charge controllers)
Aerospace (avionics grounding systems)

6. Leading Manufacturers & Products
