Changed from ring to spade terminals...Thanks all!

Looking for a good (read good price) copper-based spade terminals for 1/4" diameter studs & AWG 12 wire.  Larger AWG capacity is OK but no smaller than AWG 14.  Any plating including no plating is OK.  Did I say I like low prices?  (Need about 100.)

Vampire has them 4 prs $6.50, believe this includes heat shrink.  Insulators nice but not absolutely necessary.

Thanks much for your time.

Low prices? How's 31 cents each sound?

Mouser Part No. 571-33458

They're tin plated, but the base metal is copper, not brass.

Sorry about that. Had to go bring peace to the Middle East and it took a bit longer than I anticipated.

Hey, nobody's perfect.  :green:

You could save the shipping and go to your local AutoZone or NAPA and buy
tin plated copper ring lugs. I think you can do better than 31 cents a piece.
