Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between an Allen set screw terminal and a crimp terminal?
An Allen set screw (grub screw) terminal uses a small bolt tightened with an Allen key to clamp the wire in place, providing a secure mechanical connection that can be undone and redone without damaging the terminal. A crimp terminal is permanently compressed onto the wire and cannot be reused. Set screw terminals are preferred in custom builds for their clean look and reliability.
Can this terminal be used for both positive and negative connections?
Yes the SPT828 includes both a red and a black polarity rubber band, allowing the same terminal to be used for either positive or negative applications. Simply fit the appropriate colour band to identify the polarity of the connection.
What stud size does the 5/16″ ring opening fit?
The 5/16″ ring opening suits standard 5/16″ studs commonly found on amplifiers, distribution blocks, battery terminals, and circuit breakers used in car audio installations.
Is this terminal suitable for 8 AWG wire only?
The SPT828 is designed for 8 AWG (8 gauge) wire. Using a significantly larger or smaller gauge wire may result in a poor mechanical or electrical connection always match your terminal to your wire gauge.
