Dorman Ring Terminal

Dorman Ring Terminals: Reliable Connections for Every Electrical Repair

When an electrical connection fails under the hood or anywhere else in a vehicle, the ring terminal is often the unsung culprit. Dorman has spent decades earning the trust of professional technicians and hands-on DIYers alike by making electrical hardware that simply works — and their lineup of ring terminals is a prime example of that commitment.

The Conduct-Tite Legacy

For decades, Dorman's Conduct-Tite hardware has set the standard for basic, reliable electrical repair. The Conduct-Tite line covers a broad spectrum of wire gauges and stud sizes, giving repair shops and home garages a trustworthy go-to option whenever a terminal needs replacing. Designed for reliable service, each ring terminal features a corrosion-resistant finish for excellent conductivity, ensuring a stable, low-resistance connection that holds up over time and across temperature extremes.

Builders Series: Next-Level Electrical Repair

Today's advanced electronics are more sensitive to small changes in current flow or demand higher current draw than in the past — which is exactly why the Conduct-Tite Builders Series was developed as a special line that takes electrical repair and installation to the next level, offering superior performance and professional-looking results.

Builders Series ring terminals, spade terminals, butt connectors, and male/female disconnects feature yellow, red, or blue identifiers to easily select the right piece for the wire gauge. This color-coding system eliminates guesswork at the workbench, reducing the risk of an undersized crimp or an oversized barrel that won't hold. These ring terminals also feature a color-coded band to identify the proper wire gauge and black heat-shrink insulation for a clean appearance.

A Wide Range of Gauge and Stud Options

Dorman's ring terminal catalog spans an impressive range of configurations. Whether you need a compact 22-18 gauge, #8 stud connector for a small accessory circuit or a heavy-duty 6 gauge, 1/2-inch stud terminal for a high-current battery or alternator cable, there is a Dorman part engineered for the job. For shops or serious hobbyists who prefer to stock a variety at once, Dorman's 22-10 gauge, 70-piece ring terminal kit contains a variety of common terminals used in electrical repair and maintenance, keeping the right size within arm's reach at all times. Terminals are sorted and stored by type and size for quick, easy access.

Built for Professionals and DIYers Alike

Each terminal features durable construction for a secure electrical connection, versatile compatibility for a variety of repairs and custom installations, a precise fit to securely hold a specific wire gauge, and easy installation with standard electrical crimping tools. Dorman gives auto repair professionals and vehicle owners greater freedom to fix cars and trucks by focusing on solutions first — and that philosophy shows in the depth and consistency of their ring terminal selection.

With over 63 individual ring terminal products available, the Dorman lineup addresses everything from routine battery cable maintenance to custom audio and accessory builds.
