Description
OEX ACX0117FE Copper Zinc Plated Flared End Cable Lug 00 B&S REF 70 12 with 12mm Stud Hole Pack of 10
The OEX ACX0117FE is a heavy duty copper flared end cable lug for 00 B&S wire (65.8mm²) with a 12mm stud hole. Reference number 70 12 indicates a 70mm barrel inner diameter and a 12mm stud hole diameter. It is the 12mm stud variant of the ACX0116FE and suits M12 bolts and connection points found on some heavy duty battery isolators, main distribution busbars and commercial vehicle terminals. Flared end barrel, copper with zinc plating, solder or crimp. Supplied in a pack of 10 with a one year warranty.
Product overview
The ACX0117FE shares the same 00 B&S capacity, 70mm barrel and flared end design as the ACX0116FE, with the single difference being the stud hole size. Where the ACX0116FE uses a 10mm stud hole for M10 connections, the ACX0117FE uses a 12mm hole for M12 connections. M12 fasteners are used on some heavy duty battery isolators, main distribution busbars, commercial vehicle starter terminals and high current connection points in larger electrical systems. Selecting the correct stud hole size is critical as a 10mm lug will not fit over a 12mm stud and a 12mm lug will be loose on a 10mm stud.
The flared end barrel guides the high strand count of 00 B&S cable cleanly into the barrel during installation, reducing stray strands outside the crimp zone. Copper construction provides excellent conductivity and the zinc plating adds corrosion resistance for automotive and marine environments. A hydraulic lug crimper or large mechanical ratchet crimper rated for 00 B&S cable is required for correct crimp termination at this cable size.
Features and benefits
00 B&S (65.8mm²) capacity: The largest common automotive cable size, suited to very high current applications including main battery bank cables, heavy winch circuits, large diesel starter circuits and high output inverter connections.
12mm stud hole: Suits M12 bolts and connection points on heavy duty battery isolators, main distribution busbars and commercial vehicle terminals where M12 fasteners are used. Select the ACX0116FE (10mm hole) for M10 connections.
Flared end barrel for consistent large cable installation: The outward flared barrel entry guides the high strand count of 00 B&S cable cleanly into the barrel, reducing stray strands outside the crimp zone and improving connection integrity.
70mm barrel: Correctly sized for 00 B&S cable, providing full contact between the barrel and cable conductor for a reliable crimp or solder joint.
Copper with zinc plating: Copper provides excellent electrical conductivity and zinc plating adds corrosion resistance for automotive and marine environments.
Solder or crimp termination: Compatible with both methods, though a hydraulic or large mechanical ratchet crimper rated for 00 B&S is required for correct crimp termination at this cable size.
Pack of 10: Ten lugs per pack suits workshops and auto electricians working on high current main cable installations.
One year warranty: Covered by a one year OEX warranty.

Frequently asked questions
How does the ACX0117FE differ from the ACX0116FE? Both are 00 B&S flared end copper lugs with a 70mm barrel and identical construction. The sole difference is the stud hole size. The ACX0116FE has a 10mm hole for M10 connections and the ACX0117FE has a 12mm hole for M12 connections. Measure the stud at the connection point before purchasing to confirm the correct variant.
When would I need a 12mm stud hole rather than a 10mm stud hole? M12 fasteners are used on some heavy duty battery isolators, main distribution busbars, commercial vehicle starter terminals and high current connection points in larger electrical systems. If the connection point uses M12 hardware, the ACX0117FE is the correct lug. A 10mm lug will not fit over a 12mm stud.
What crimping tool is required for 00 B&S lugs? Standard hand ratchet crimpers cannot deliver sufficient crimp force for 00 B&S cable. A hydraulic lug crimper or a large mechanical ratchet crimper specifically rated for 00 B&S cable is required for correct termination. See the ACX0116FE listing for full guidance on 00 B&S termination.
Can I use the ACX0117FE with the OEX 10mm stud battery terminals? No. The ACX0117FE has a 12mm hole and will not fit correctly over a 10mm stud. The OEX ACX0025, ACX0026, ACX0027 and ACX0028 battery terminals all use 10mm studs and require the ACX0116FE (10mm hole). Confirm the stud size at the connection point before purchasing.
What applications use 00 B&S cable? 00 B&S is used in very high current applications including main battery bank cables, heavy electric winch circuits, large diesel starter circuits, shore power inlet connections on caravans and motorhomes, and high output inverter and solar installations. See the ACX0116FE listing for detailed application context.
