Within reason, pretty much all the ring/spade sizes are available in all of the wire sizes. At least in the 10GA and smaller category. Of course, at extremes, you have a few issues. The largest ring terminals are hard to find in the smallest gauges and the smallest spades/rings are hard to fin

This should be perfect! I think I was assuming that like wire nuts there were various ranges/sizes and they didn't interchange. Local hardware is that way so it's just my mistake for the false assumption. I moved up to 16 gauge since it'll work for both. No harm in some extra copper. Josh Luth

These actually look like maybe overkill for those bolts, don’t know what size they are, look like 5/16 or 8 mm. 16AWG would be the common denominator. https://www.acehardware.com/departments/lighting-and-electrical/boxes-fittings-and-conduit/lugs/3015450 I hate spade terminals anyway, pre

I feel like I've seen them, for putting like a trickle charger on a car battery. Small wire and big ring. Mcmaster looks like they have a terminal for #18 wire with a 3/8" spade On 10/28/2019 3:49 PM, Josh Luthman wrote: I suppose I could work. Is there not a more elegant choice? Josh Luth

If I think I'm reading it right, you want a big spade for small size wire? Could you just take a big spade and solder the small wire to it? On 10/28/2019 3:26 PM, Josh Luthman wrote: I have an ICT charger that limits me to small spades. These spades only go as big as 16 gauge. The battery te
