A new line of heavy-duty locking ring terminals especially designed for the secure ultrasonic welded wire attachment process preferred in high current applications is being introduced by Florida-based ETCO Incorporated.

ETCO BT-series heavy-duty battery terminals are made from 0.060-inch-thick brass or copper for maximumSource: ETCO Incorporated conductivity and are designed to be ultrasonic welded for use in any high current application. Featuring four teeth that extend 0.065 inches from the terminal surface of the ring, their sharp wedges bite into metal and anchor the terminal to help prevent unwanted rotation.

Suited for attaching 0-6 Ga wire by automated equipment, ETCO BT-series heavy-duty battery terminals have an insulation support to bend around the wire jacket insulation. They are ideal for virtually any high voltage wiring including electric vehicle batteries, alternators and starters in automotive, agricultural and construction equipment, process control and trucking applications.
