Weird, it was not on the "specs" tab, but it was on the "overview"
tab on their site.

But using prefix 25, 30, 50 return dead links.
I looked at the pictures of the packaging for the quantity.

Fact-checking web pages, a never-ending job, I think... :-)
True, that overview page states 1/4" as minimum stud size, package has 5/16".
The actual opening is just over 3/8" to accommodate that size stud. So using it
on a 1/4" stud can be done, but will permit a looser connection. So the whole
fastener stack becomes even more important (washers, lockwashers and nuts).
Maybe some products don't follow a standard, or do, but it allows such slop on the
power/ground lug.
My experience with power supply manufacturing, the ground lug assembly is a
serious design & assembly process.
regards, RS

I look at the images (since the specs dont have these details)
https://www.gardnerbender.com/-/media/inriver/10-108_PKG_01.jpg
"5/16 to 3/8 inch stud"
"vinyl insulated"
"50 pack"
https://www.gardnerbender.com/-/media/inriver/15-108_PKG_01.jpg
"5/16 to 3/8 inch stud"
"vinyl insulated"
"15 pack"
the ring terminals themselves look identical. Just buy as many as you need.
I've never know a commercial-grade termination to be offered in different thicknesses.
If they did, one would hope they include this as a spec...
Are you designing something? Or just repairing an appliance?
When designing a product and an application makes some property critical
and the manufacturer doesn't spec it, or cant guarantee it, then
before you begin production, you buy some from several manufacturers
and test them before choosing the final part . Have had to do this
many times...
cheers, RS

That makes no sense.
1/4 - 3/8"
Hole too big for 1/4" hardware.
I see no difference in the picture of either lug.
Any idea what this is about ?
I am using 3/8" hardware.
The price in packaging is also way different.
10-108 $10.29 for 50 pcs
15-108 $8.22 for 15 pcs
I can not find any info on the metal thickness but maybe that is the
real difference ? 15-108 is thicker metal ?
