Micro Ring Terminals?
Posted by ChrisVA on Wednesday, September 6, 2023 11:37 AM

Can anyone point me to an electronics site that would have very small ring terminals? I'm considering using them on HO tender trucks to help improve pickup by passing the truck mount screw through them and feeding a wire through hole in the bottom of the tender. 

I'm encountering some difficulties finding very small rings. 

Thanks,

Chris

  Hi Chris.

 To be honest I make my own with brass sheet. But if you're set on purchasing, you can try Digikey or any other online electronics dealer.

The smallest I own are called "M2.2 Solder Lugs".

I googled that, and some examples popped up.

I hope this helps.

I know Mouser Electronics or DigiKey can help you to find small rings. You can try searching these sites.
