Rated for 8 AWG wire and 5\/16\" studs, the 1385348 is engineered for the heavier-gauge runs found on windlasses, bow thrusters, bilge pumps, battery interconnects, and main distribution bus connections — where both current capacity and a watertight seal are non-negotiable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDual-Wall Adhesive-Lined Heat Shrink\u003c\/strong\u003e — Inner adhesive flows into the crimp zone during heating, creating a fully sealed, waterproof connection that resists corrosion in salt and bilge environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e8 AWG Heavy-Gauge Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e — Sized for high-current accessory circuits; suitable for windlasses, thrusters, bilge pumps, inverters, and battery bank interconnects\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e5\/16\" Stud Size\u003c\/strong\u003e — Fits the 5\/16\" studs common on battery terminals, main bus bars, solenoids, and high-current distribution blocks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTinned Copper Barrel\u003c\/strong\u003e — Corrosion-resistant tinned copper crimp barrel maintains low resistance and long-term conductivity in marine environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClosed-Ring Design\u003c\/strong\u003e — Ring cannot back off the stud under vibration, ensuring a permanent, secure connection at high-current termination points\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e25-Pack Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e — Enough for a full high-current wiring project or a comprehensive onboard spares kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Heat shrink ring terminal (adhesive-lined, dual-wall)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWire Gauge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8 AWG\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStud Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5\/16\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBarrel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tinned copper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSleeve:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dual-wall adhesive-lined heat shrink\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eQuantity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 25 per pack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication:\u003c\/strong\u003e Windlasses, bow thrusters, bilge pumps, battery interconnects, main bus bars, solenoids\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1385348\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTerminal Family — Choosing the Right Gauge \u0026amp; Stud\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e16–14 AWG, 1\/4\" stud\u003c\/strong\u003e — Panel wiring, fuse blocks, switches, instruments (SKU 46388)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e16–14 AWG, 3\/8\" stud\u003c\/strong\u003e — Panel wiring at larger bus bars (SKU 825085)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e8 AWG, 5\/16\" stud\u003c\/strong\u003e — High-current accessories, battery interconnects, solenoids (this SKU — 1385348)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlways match terminal gauge to wire gauge and stud size to the terminal block specification before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eStrip 8 AWG wire to the correct length — the conductor should fill the barrel without protruding. Use a heavy-duty ratcheting crimper rated for 8 AWG — standard light-duty crimpers will not produce a reliable crimp at this gauge. Apply heat evenly with a heat gun until the sleeve shrinks uniformly and adhesive flows from both ends. Allow to cool fully before torquing the stud nut.
