A Really Simple Question

Crimp Connectors HERE.

Ring terminals.  Here is a set on Amazon.  Here's another with heat shrink.  They're also available at Lowe's/Home Depot/Menard's.  I bought this set of terminals at Harbor Freight that includes some rings:

Thanks guys. The problem is most crimp connector assortments have tons of everything for #6 or #8 stud size and up. I have tons of those lying around, and they are very handy for stuff that size. The problem is that making hookups to power trucks requires really small ring crimps; like #4 stud or M3 size. And those seem to be scarce.

Those that you linked Leo look like a good possibility; though #16 is bigger wire size than needed. #22 wire is the usual size for power pickups, and they might crimp down to that OK. MikeH, that HF set looks pretty neat, and as luck would have it I happen to have that same assortment. So I dug it out and sure enough it has a bunch of small #4 ring connectors, though they are insulated. But once you cut the insulation sleeve off, you have a nice compact #4 crimp connector good for 18-22 wire size. They should work nicely especially after soldering the wire and slipping a shrink sleeve over it. Should be nice and compact.

So thanks all for this input; I should be good for a while.

I use these Rod.  https://www.digikey.com/produc...277-11144-ND/3603848

I have several "assortments", but they always have tons of sizes I'll never use, so I avoid them for the most part.

Thanks for that link John. Those look like a good option.

I also don't bother to try to crimp these.  It's easier for me to simply stuff the wire in and solder them.  If I need an insulated version, I have tons of heatshrink to solve that problem.

John, Thanks for supplying the part number. For someone who has spent over 45 years in the auto parts industry a part number makes life so much easier, especially when using a catalog like Digikey's or Mouser's which are clearly written for electrical engineers and electronic technicians, and not us mere mortals.
