Ring connectors, also known as ring terminals, are uninsulated metal connectors commonly used in low-voltage electrical applications. With multiple connection points, they provide a secure way to connect two or more electrical wires. The 52197-1 ring connector is an industry standard designed to meet the stringent requirements of automotive, military and industrial wiring applications.

The size of the 52197-1 ring connector makes it perfect for connection in tight spaces. It measures only 0.779 inches in length and 0.361 inches in diameter. The dimension of the conductor opening is 0.154 inches which allows for maximum flexibility in cable size and gauge selection. The 52197-1 ring connector is made from UL listed SPMA copper alloy and is rated for temperatures as high as 105°C (221°F) and 58V.

The 52197-1 ring connector is designed to ensure a quick and easy connection solution. The connector has a unique split ring barrel design that allows for it to be crimped with standard industry tools. The ring and insulator are positively secured together and the connector is marked with a color coded designator to indicate wire specifications. The ring and insulator combination also provides enhanced strength against water ingress.

The 52197-1 ring connector is used in a wide range of applications. It is suitable for applications such as battery backup, outdoor lighting, automotive, marine, and more. It is also used in military applications where the connector’s robustness and reliability are paramount. It is increasingly becoming popular in light duty residential wiring applications as well.

The working principle of the 52175-1 ring connector is relatively straight forward. The connector is attached to the wires using a standard kit that includes a crimping tool. Once the connector has been crimped onto the wires, the connection is secure and ready to be used. The connector features a spring or split ring design which allows the connection to be released in the event of an emergency or if the wires need to be replaced. The connector can also be opened and reused for a variety of purpose depending on the application.

The 52197-1 ring connector is an indispensable tool in the world of electrical wiring. It offers a secure, robust and reliable connection solution for a variety of applications and can be used in both residential and commercial settings. Its unique design makes it an ideal choice for tight spaces and its reliability has made it a favorite amongst both industry professionals and do-it-yourselfers.
