Today we're going to review part number 44-5356A. This is the 3M Ring Terminal for size 10-12 gauge wire. This the 5/16" ring diameter size. These ring terminals are used for all types of electrical work where wires need to be fastened. This one is used for use with a 10-12 gauge size wire. It is designed to fit on a stud size of 5/16". It does have the vinyl insulation sleeve you can see, which is yellow. Basically, to show you how this would attach the wire I have section of 12-gauge wire right here.
I actually stripped maybe a little less than 1/2" off of there. What you want to do is basically you would slide the bare portion in right to where the metal portion is right there. You really don't want to slide it too far so it's exposed. You actually want to keep most of it underneath there. Once you have it underneath there, what I'll do is take a .. Here's a set of wire strippers.
The wire strippers will have the crimpers right down here. All you have to do is put this right in the correct size. Then when you push down on it like that, you squeeze hard enough, you can see that it will crimp that wire to that metal portion, to the ring terminal, and give you a good connection. It's not going to go anywhere. You can see you really don't want to have any of that bare wire exposed, so you want to keep it under the insulation sleeve. That should do it for the review on part number 44-5356A.
This is the 3M Ring Terminal for 10-12 gauge size wire with a 5/16" inside ring diameter. .

Worked as advertised.
The manufacturer of my trailer screwed the grounding wire for the trailer into the tongue of the trailer using a self-tapping screw. That lasted about two months before the wire snapped free. Instead of having that happen again, I used this product by crimping the grounding wire to the but end and then I placed the cotter pin from the trailer coupler through the loop and the wire from that pin makes constant contact with the loop, allowing grounding. Worked like a charm and there's no tension on the grounding wire anymore.
Ordered several things to hook up trailer brake controller on my 2014 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. Everything was promptly shipped and at a fair price.
Will use etrailer.com again, if I have the need.
