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 ? piglet wrote:> On 2021/10/16 22:20, Jordee wrote: >> Gardner Bender Insulated >> Lug 10-108 >> Lug 15-108 >> >> Both 12-10 AWG >> Both 5/16 - 3/8" >> >> What is the difference ? > > Looking at web: > 10-108 is 1/4-3/8" > 15-108 is 5/16-3/8" > > piglet > >

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

More manufacturers to pick from. e.g., https://www.digikey.com/en/products/filter/terminals-ring-connectors/394?s=N4IgjCBcoJwExVAYygMwIYBsDOBTANCAPZQDaIAzAKwAcMdIAuoQA4AuUIAymwE4CWAOwDmIAL6E49RCBSQMOAsTKUpNAAwB2Jqw6RufIaIkgpMGXIV5CJSOTAaKFCMxDtOPASPEmAbDP4AE04wABZtXQ9Db0I2AE8WXE5A7BQxMSA

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
