Small wire ring connectors
Posted by Dunderhead on Thursday, April 28, 2022 2:23 PM

I am looking for wire ring connectors that will fit on a #2-56 screw and, so far, having no luck. Can anyone help?

There was a thread on this about eight weeks ago but I'll be dipped in shellac if I can find it...

 

Good Luck, Ed

You mean You have no Menards'/Home Depot or any other home center near You???? All You have to do is ask or look for ring terminals, solder or crimp. If You type in ring terminals on Your PC search engine I'll bet You get all kinds of hits and locations. It is not an uncommon item.You can even type in ring terminals on Amazon and fall off Your chair from all the MFGER'S of said item.

Good Luck!Smile, Wink & Grin

 I sat down at the workbench one day with Dremel handy, some drill bits, and a thin sheet of brass strip and turned out about a dozen or more in a half hour. The brass was thin enough to cut with an old pair of scissors. It was quite a few years ago and I still have a bunch left.

A 2-56 screw is a #2 stud size. Here is a link to Amazon. Unfortunately, you need to buy a 100-pack.  If you need far less, just search for "ring terminal for a #2 stud".

Well, that’s a ring of a different terminal.  Could always call and see availability, or maybe get suggestion for alternate source.
