Pacer 22-18 AWG Heat Shrink Ring Terminal - 5/16" Stud Size - 100 Pack

The Pacer 22-18 AWG Heat Shrink Ring Terminal in 5/16" Stud Size is an essential electrical connector for automotive builders, mechanics, and modification enthusiasts. Ideal for upgrading vehicle charging systems, installing auxiliary lighting, or fabricating custom wiring harnesses, these ring terminals provide a reliable, solderless connection point that won't fail under vibration or thermal cycling.

Each terminal features heat shrink insulation that seals the barrel connection against moisture, corrosion, and road salt—critical protection in harsh underhood environments. The 22-18 AWG rating accommodates standard automotive gauge wire commonly used in mid-power circuits, while the 5/16" stud size matches factory and aftermarket battery posts, fused distribution blocks, and relay terminals found in most vehicles. Crimping these terminals with a proper ratcheting crimper creates a gas-tight connection that distributes pressure evenly across the wire strands, preventing loose connections and voltage drop.

Professional mechanics and DIY fabricators rely on Pacer Group terminals for engine bay rewiring, alternator upgrades, and auxiliary battery installations. The heat shrink tubing shrinks when warmed (via a heat gun), encapsulating the crimp and protecting against accidental shorts. With a bulk quantity of 100 terminals, you can tackle multiple projects without the need for repeated reorders.
