Projecta BT142-P10 Positive Bolt Brass Battery Terminal, Box of 10

Quick answer

The bolt style holds ring lugs firmly with a nut, the usual choice where vibration is a concern.

This is the 10 piece box of positive bolt terminals, handy for workshops restocking the drawer. Lugs sit on a 5/16 inch or 8 mm stud.

The bolt style holds ring lugs firmly with a nut, the usual choice where vibration is a concern. Material is forged brass, a solid choice for battery connections.

Positive posts are slightly larger than negative posts, so fit this one only to the positive side. Clean the post back to bright metal before fitting, and coat the joint once tightened.

Check the terminal again after the first week, as new cable can settle under the clamp. Keep the positive covered so a spanner cannot bridge it to the body. Tighten firmly but do not crush the post; a lead post deforms easily. If the old terminal was badly corroded, cut the cable back to clean copper before fitting the new one. After fitting, a thin smear of terminal grease or spray protector slows corrosion.

FAQ

Before I order, does the BT142-P10 box contain 10 of the same positive terminal?

All 10 are positive bolt terminals, packed in one box.

For a customer job, will my 8 mm ring lugs fit the BT142-P10 stud?

The stud is 5/16 inch or 8 mm. Use lugs with a hole to match.

Before I order, will a positive bolt terminal fit the opposite post?

No. Positive posts are slightly larger than negative ones, so this positive terminal is sized for the positive post only.

For a customer job, my old bolt terminal is cracked; can I just swap in the BT142-P10?

Cut the cable back to clean, bright copper if the old end is green or black, then fit the new terminal and tighten it firmly.

Fitting it myself, is a terminal protector worth using over a BT142-P10?

Yes. Once it is tight, a thin coat of terminal grease or protector spray over the joint slows corrosion.
