Thomas Betts 17218-BD Ring Terminal 2/0 Awg

Product Description

The THOMAS BETTS 17218-BD is a ring terminal designed for heavy-gauge electrical connections using 2/0 AWG wire with a 3/8 inch stud size. Ring terminals of this type provide a secure, low-resistance mechanical connection between a conductor and a threaded stud or bolt. This terminal is used in high-current wiring applications where a reliable, permanent termination is required. Installation is typically performed by licensed electricians or qualified electrical contractors working on power distribution, grounding, or heavy equipment wiring systems.

This ring terminal is suited for applications requiring a robust 2/0 AWG termination, including commercial electrical panels, industrial equipment grounding, battery cable connections, and similar heavy-duty wiring scenarios. The 3/8 inch stud size accommodates common bolt and lug configurations found in electrical distribution and power equipment. Each package contains one terminal, with a minimum order quantity of 5 units.
