Product Description
3/8" GROUND LUG RING TERMINAL FOR 3/8"-24 BASE ANTENNAS
The American Radio Supply RNG-0375-14/16 is a high-quality, non-insulated grounding ring terminal designed for use with 3/8"-24 threaded antenna studs and mounting hardware. Constructed from tin-plated copper, this terminal provides excellent electrical conductivity while offering enhanced resistance to corrosion.
The 3/8-inch mounting hole provides a secure connection to antenna bases, studs, posts, and other grounding points. The brazed seam helps prevent the terminal barrel from splitting during crimping, providing a strong and reliable electrical connection—especially in applications subject to vibration.

Application Information
Ring terminals provide a secure mechanical and electrical connection by placing the terminal's flat ring surface against a stud, screw, bolt, or post. The connection is particularly useful where vibration could cause a conventional wire connection to loosen.
The RNG-0375-14/16 can be crimped onto stranded wire and may also be soldered when appropriate. Heat-shrink tubing can be added over the terminal barrel to provide additional insulation and environmental protection.
The brazed seam construction strengthens the terminal barrel and helps resist splitting during crimping.
Ideal Applications
- Antenna grounding
- 3/8"-24 antenna mounts and studs
- Mobile radio installations
- Amateur radio equipment
- RF communication systems
- Vehicle antenna installations
- Grounding and bonding applications
- Electrical control and wiring assemblies
- High-vibration electrical connections
- Telecom and wireless equipment

Works Fine
This will work well with my antenna box projects. I do wish the reach was a bit longer say about .5 inch longer. but as it is right now it will work just fine.
