Any thoughts about putting a 1/4" ring terminal (for 8 awg wire) onto a #10 (approx 3/16" dia.) stud on the fuse box?  Is that a no-no?



Thanks!

  Obviously, a 'connection' will be made and the terminal

  is not at-risk for falling off. But keep in mind that

  terminal application is tailored around the idea of

  achieving gas-tight connections in the mating parts.

  Gas-tight connections require optimized force being

  exerted over a terminal area.  The peak forces within

  a bolted stack up of terminals happens right around the

  stud . . . if the hole in the terminal is oversized, then

  we've compromised design goals for the product.



  Are you likely to experience any difficulties for the

  compromise? No. But it IS a compromise and not the best

  we know how to do.
