Thomas Betts -17243-4-BD Ring Terminal 2 Awg

Product Description

The THOMAS BETTS -17243-4-BD is a ring terminal designed for reliable electrical terminations on 2 AWG wire with a 1/4 inch stud size. Ring terminals of this type create a secure, low-resistance connection between a conductor and a threaded stud, bolt, or binding post. This terminal is suited for use in panel wiring, grounding applications, and equipment interconnects where a permanent, mechanically stable connection is required. Electricians and electrical technicians install these terminals using a proper crimping tool matched to the wire gauge to ensure full conductor contact and pull-out resistance.

This terminal is appropriate for use in residential, commercial, and light industrial electrical work wherever 2 AWG conductors must be terminated to a 1/4 inch stud. Common applications include grounding conductor terminations, battery cable ends, service entrance connections, and control panel wiring. The 1/4 inch stud size accommodates standard fastener sizes found on bus bars, equipment terminals, and grounding lugs.

Key Features

• Compatible with 2 AWG wire for heavy-duty conductor terminations
• 1/4 inch stud size fits standard bus bar and equipment terminal fasteners
• Ring-style tongue provides secure mechanical retention on stud connections
• Sold individually per package with a minimum order quantity of 5 units

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement ring terminal for 2 AWG conductors requiring a 1/4 inch stud termination in standard electrical installations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements. De-energize and lock out the circuit before terminating any conductor. Use a calibrated crimping tool rated for the terminal type and wire gauge — never solder as a substitute for a proper crimp on compression-style ring terminals. Inspect the completed crimp for full conductor seating and verify stud torque per the equipment manufacturer's specifications.
