Rated for 4\/0 AWG wire, this terminal accepts a 3\/8 inch stud and provides a secure, low-resistance mechanical and electrical connection. Ring terminals of this type are crimped onto stripped copper conductors using the appropriate die set and crimping tool. They are a standard component in high-current electrical assemblies where a permanent, bolted lug connection is required. Licensed electricians and electrical contractors install these terminals in panel work, grounding assemblies, battery banks, and heavy equipment wiring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis terminal is suited for high-ampacity wiring applications where 4\/0 AWG conductors must be terminated to a 3\/8 inch stud or bolt. Typical install scenarios include service entrance work, grounding electrode conductor terminations, inverter and battery connections, marine electrical systems, and industrial control panels. The 3\/8 inch stud size accommodates standard bus bar and lug hardware found across residential, commercial, and industrial electrical installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with 4\/0 AWG wire for high-current applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/8 inch stud size fits standard bus bar and terminal hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRing-style lug provides a secure, bolt-retained connection that resists pull-out\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDesigned for crimp installation using a properly sized compression tool and die\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSold individually, allowing single-piece procurement for service and repair work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement and standard-use ring terminal for 4\/0 AWG conductors requiring a 3\/8 inch stud termination in residential, commercial, and industrial electrical installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements. De-energize and lock out the circuit before stripping the conductor or installing the terminal. Use a calibrated compression crimping tool with the correct 4\/0 AWG die to achieve a proper crimp — do not use open-barrel or plier-style crimping tools on compression lugs. Torque the stud fastener to the hardware manufacturer's specification after seating the terminal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible Wire Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4\/0 AWG\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStud Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.01 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: THOMAS BETTS\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 17248-BD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"THOMAS \u0026 BETTS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51538958942514,"sku":"17248-BD","price":49.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/1387a1cbc85e69f037e155e448d18e22_5b0555bd-5cae-4a66-9b5f-3d5091e7b755.jpg?v=1785830933","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/thomas-betts-17248-bd-ring-terminal-4-0-awg-3-8-inch","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
