Ring terminal for electrical system in converted van

Crimp terminals are essential for connecting electrical cables to various equipment (auxiliary battery, battery charger, fuse holder, ...) present in an electrical installation in a converted vehicle. They ensure in part the reliability and safety of your electrical circuit.

Easy to install, a ring terminal allows you to create a solid connection between a flexible multi-strand H07-VK electrical cable and a terminal or screw of a device, thus ensuring optimal current transmission.

Without ring terminals, no electrical system is possible on board your converted van! Indeed, tubular terminals are essential for securely connecting various equipment such as: solar panels, batteries, the isolated charger, the inverter, the fuse holder, etc.

What is the purpose of a ring terminal in an electrical installation?

The ring terminal is used to connect H07-VK cables to the terminals of various electrical equipment. Its main role is to ensure a fixed and secure connection, thus minimizing the risks of poor contacts or overheating. It is a key component that guarantees the proper functioning and longevity of an electrical installation, whether it's powering a compressor fridge, LED spotlights or managing charges between batteries and solar panels.

How to crimp a ring terminal?

To crimp a ring terminal, you need to equip yourself with an appropriate crimping pliers and perform the following steps:

Step 1: Strip the end of the cable to the desired length.

Step 2: Insert the end of the cable into the tubular body of the terminal.

Step 3: Use the crimping pliers to press the terminal around the cable until it is securely fixed. (Make sure to place the terminal in the notch provided for this purpose on the crimping pliers.)

Step 4: Check the solidity of the connection by pulling lightly on the cable.

Step 5: Insulate your connection with heat shrink tubing.

And there you have it!

What are the advantages of a ring terminal?

Reliability: It ensures a stable connection, reducing the risks of false contacts.

Ease of installation: Thanks to quick crimping, it is easily installed on electrical equipment.

Resistance: Made from a robust material, it is designed to withstand vibrations and temperature variations, common when travelling in leisure vehicles.

Compatibility: It adapts to many electrical equipment and types of cables.

The technical characteristics of a ring terminal

• Material: Tinned copper, resistant to corrosion.
• Internal diameter of the ring: According to your choice and adapted to a nominal cross-section in mm² of an electrical cable according to your need.
• Sold individually. In your basket, 1 unit = 1 terminal.

Easy to install and durable, it is one of the essential allies for a high-performance and flawless electrical system on road trips!
