Waterproof ring terminal for 22–18 AWG stranded copper wire on a 1/4" stud. The adhesive-lined heat shrink sleeve melts and seals around the wire insulation when heated, blocking moisture, salt and road spray from reaching the crimp. Made in USA.
Use it for: light-gauge circuits such as sensors, signal leads, LED lighting and low-current accessory wiring landing on 1/4" studs — grounds, bus bars and switch posts on boats, trailers, truck and off-road wiring, outdoor lighting and anywhere a connection sees water, washdown or vibration.
Getting the right size: the ring must match the stud; other stud sizes and wire ranges are in our ring terminals. For dry, indoor work a nylon or vinyl ring terminal crimps faster with no heat gun.

• Marine Electrical Systems - Connect wiring in boats where saltwater exposure requires waterproof connections that prevent corrosion while maintaining quick-disconnect or permanent termination capability.
• Outdoor & Underground Installations - Wire landscape lighting, irrigation systems, and outdoor equipment where moisture, soil chemicals, and weather exposure demand hermetically sealed connections for long-term reliability.
• Automotive Underhood & Exterior Wiring - Connect sensors, relays, lighting, and accessories in engine compartments and exposed locations where heat, oil, moisture, and vibration require waterproof protection beyond standard vinyl or nylon terminals.
• Trailer & RV Exterior Systems - Wire running lights, brake lights, and exterior accessories exposed to road spray, weather, and constant flexing where waterproof connections prevent corrosion and electrical failures.
