The \u003cstrong\u003e3\/8\" stud\u003c\/strong\u003e (SKU 825085) is used for larger battery posts, main bus bars, and high-current connections.

Crimp firmly with a ratcheting crimper matched to the terminal gauge — avoid plier-style crimpers which produce inconsistent crimps. Apply heat evenly with a heat gun until the sleeve shrinks uniformly and adhesive flows from both ends. Allow to cool fully before connecting to the stud. Do not use an open flame — it damages the sleeve and conductor insulation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor any marine panel or accessory wiring project, the 46388 is the go-to terminal where a sealed, vibration-proof connection is required at a 1\/4\" stud.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WEST","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43866755498020,"sku":"46388","price":39.65,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0743\/5799\/7604\/files\/ANC311203_cee5edc3-f348-401d-a45f-1adb281f0c80.jpg?v=1791865353","url":"https:\/\/marisolmarine.com\/products\/heat-shrink-ring-terminal-16-14-awg-1-4-stud-25-pack-46388","provider":"Marisol Marine Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
