Choice of eyelet lugs

Eyelet terminals for electrical systems in panel vans

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

Easy to install, an eyelet terminal creates a solid connection between a flexible multi-strand H07-VK electrical cable and an appliance terminal or screw, ensuring optimum current transmission.

Without eyebolts, you can't have an electrical system in your van! Tubular lugs are essential for safely connecting various items of equipment, such as solar panels, batteries, insulated chargers, inverters, fuse holders, etc.

What is a tubular terminal used for in an electrical installation?

The eyelet terminal is used to connect H07-VK cables to the terminals of different electrical equipment. Its main role is to ensure a fixed and secure connection, minimising the risk of poor contact or overheating. It's a key component that ensures the smooth running and longevity of an electrical installation, whether it's powering a compression fridge, LED spotlights or managing loads between batteries and solar panels.

How do you crimp an eye terminal?

To crimp an eye terminal, you'll need the appropriate crimping tool and 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 lug.

Step 3: Use the crimping tool to press the terminal around the cable until it is secure. (Make sure you place the terminal in the notch provided on the crimping tool)

Step 4: Check that the connection is secure by pulling slightly on the cable.

And that's it!

What are the advantages of an eye terminal?

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

Easy to install: Thanks to its quick crimping, it is easy to install on an electrical appliance.

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

Compatibility: Suitable for a wide range of electrical equipment and cable types.

Technical characteristics of an eye terminal

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

Easy to install and durable, it's one of the essential allies for a high-performance, trouble-free electrical system on your road trip!
