    Terminal

    Ready to install in panel boxes, switches, outlets, and other devices, these cords come with a spade terminal already attached to one end. No need to remove your mounting screw to install—just loosen it, slide the spade terminal in, then tighten the screw. These cords are made of stranded wire, which is more flexible than solid wire. They’re pliable enough to be pulled around corners and maneuvered in tight spaces.
    Wire Lead Connection—Cords with wire leads carry a charge between electrical components, such as from a splice to screw terminal. They’re also known as non-grounding pigtails.
    Ring Terminal Connection—Cords with a ring terminal are also known as grounding pigtails because they create a grounding connection when you fasten the screw into a metal surface, such as the inside of a junction box.

    Corrosion-Resistant Battery Wire

    Connect batteries in generators, forklifts, and other vehicles in corrosive environments. Also known as marine wire, this copper wire is tin plated to resist corrosion from salt water, battery acid, and oil. Designed for boats, it's a good choice for use outdoors. The PVC outer jacket stands up to fuel and oil. Wire strand count is the number of strands followed by the size of the individual strand.
