Description

This terminal nut secures a wire terminal to a threaded post or terminal block, ensuring a tight, reliable electrical connection. Replace a missing, stripped, or heat-damaged nut to restore a safe, stable power path to the component. What it does:

• Clamps a ring or spade terminal to a threaded stud/post on a terminal block or component
• Maintains a low-resistance connection to reduce arcing and heat buildup
• Helps address symptoms like loose/burned terminal connections, intermittent power, or discoloration at the connection point
• Direct replacement for the original connection hardware on applicable models

What's included:

• 1 terminal nut

Install notes:

• Disconnect power at the breaker before servicing; allow any heated components to cool
• Note wire locations; remove damaged hardware and inspect wiring/terminals for heat damage
• Clean threads and install the new nut; tighten snugly without overtightening
• Reassemble and restore power; verify the connection remains cool during initial operation
