Thomas Betts -17217-1-BD Ring Terminal 1/0 Awg

Product Description

The THOMAS BETTS -17217-1-BD is a ring terminal designed for terminating 1/0 AWG wire to a 1/2 inch stud. Ring terminals provide a secure, low-resistance connection between a conductor and a threaded fastener, bolt, or bus bar. This terminal is suited for high-current electrical applications where a permanent, reliable mechanical and electrical bond is required. Electricians and electrical contractors install this type of terminal during panel wiring, grounding work, battery cable termination, and heavy-duty power distribution tasks.

This ring terminal is intended for use in electrical installations requiring a 1/0 AWG conductor connection at a 1/2 inch stud size. Typical applications include grounding lugs, service entrance terminations, battery bank connections, and large-conductor power runs in commercial and industrial electrical systems. It is sold individually, making it suitable for single-point replacement or small-quantity service work.

Key Features

• Accepts 1/0 AWG wire for high-current termination applications
• 1/2 inch stud size for compatibility with standard bolted connection points
• Ring-style tongue provides a secure, captive connection that will not pull free under vibration
• Single-piece packaging allows individual replacement without purchasing bulk quantities

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement ring terminal for electrical installations requiring 1/0 AWG conductor termination at a 1/2 inch stud connection point.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed electrician. De-energize and lock out the circuit before terminating any conductor. Strip the conductor to the manufacturer-recommended length and insert fully into the terminal barrel before crimping with an appropriately sized hydraulic or ratchet crimping tool. Refer to NEC Article 110 for general conductor termination torque and connection requirements.
