ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a ring terminal connector which includes a pair of like circular, substantially flat apertured terminals. Each terminal has a raised bump or nib on its upper surface and a nib opening on its upper surface such that the pair of terminals may be interlocked by fixing the raised nib of each terminal in the nib opening of the other terminal. The terminals also each have a pair of inwardly directed slotted flanges and an elongated opening or groove to properly orient one terminal with respect to the other. One of the terminals may be turned over and engaged with the other terminal such that by rotating one relative to the other, the terminals may be interlocked. Further, the terminals each have an integral outwardly directed crimping arm to receive wires and maintain a positive connection between the connector and the wires and/or the bolt to which the connector is attached. The nib, elongated opening, nib opening and slotted flanges are circumferentially located such that the crimping arms do not interfere with each other when the terminals are interlocked.
