Fixed Orientation Terminals
Some applications, especially automotive, require that a cable be attached to a terminal in a specific orientation. These terminals have orientation ridges that allow a cable lug to only be attached to the terminal perpendicular to the centerline of the mounting holes. A Fixed Orientation terminal assures that a complex automotive cable harness, which might be 8 feet in length and have 20 different power and signal connectors attached, can only be installed on the vehicle in one orientation.

100 amp Fixed-Orientation Feed-Through TerminalOur TFT-style terminal (without mounting ears) is the most economical, smallest footprint, simplest environmental seal, battery terminal which can reduce connector costs on a single microgrid energy storage system by $2,000 and offers a battery module designer the protection options of snap-on rigid or flexible covers. This 100 amp terminal is available with or without Fixed-Orientation Ridges, can accommodate 8 AWG to 2 AWG (8 mm2 to 34 mm2) cables, and will have snap-on Flexible and Rigid Covers. Unlike our SFT-style Terminal, the TFT-style Terminal does not require panel mounting screws, because it has molded-in mounting pegs. These cylindrical molded pegs enable the TFT to resist the tightening torque the user will apply to the terminal’s M5 electrical connection bolts. The orientation ridges are spaced 0.70" (18.8 mm) apart and are designed to accept a ring lug crimped to 4 AWG or 2 AWG (19 mm2 to 34 mm2). |

250 amp Fixed-Orientation Feed-Through TerminalThis terminal has orientation ridges that allow a cable lug to only be attached to the terminal perpendicular to the centerline of the mounting holes. A Fixed Orientation terminal assures that a complex automotive cable harness, which might be 8 feet in length and have 20 different power and signal connectors attached, can only be installed on the vehicle in one orientation. The orientation ridges of this terminal are spaced 0.87” (22 mm) apart and are designed to accommodate a ring lug crimped to 1/0 or 2/0 (50 to 70 mm2) cable.Learn More ← Performance, dimensions, accessories, and P/Ns → Datasheet |
