Ring Terminals

Ring terminals come in a variety of configurations for both insulated ring terminals, and non-insulated ring terminals.  How do I choose the correct ring terminal for my application?  Non-insulated ring terminals are typically the most economical.  Use these when no special characteristics or protection is required.  High temperature ring terminals are non-insulated, and are used in areas where the terminal will be exposed to continous high temperatures.  Vinyl insulated ring terminals are the most economical of the insulated ring terminals.  Nylon ring terminals provide higher temperature and better durability than vinyl.  For the maximum protection and environmental exposure, use heatshrink ring terminals.
