Looking for ring terminals for motor brushes

Post by kink »

I wonder if anyone can help? I have been looking for those tiny ring terminals to crimp onto the end of some brushes. Rather like you may find on Reedy or Trinity old school brushes. Ideally copper, but anything considered. The usual searches throw up huge mofos!

From memory they are around 2.6mm internal hole diameter. Material is very thin, maybe half a mm?

Many thanks :D

I did a search for the sake of it and got nada. You might find some of these at an automotive or hardware store under a different name. I know ive seen them used somewhere before but cant remember.

Thanks but I am done searching as I only ever find large ones, even from specialist electronic part suppliers.

Just wondering if anyone knows any links before I give up. I can secure them without the rings, but it may be a little finishing touch.

Did you look on Mouser? They have damn near everything.
I miss brushed motors in that hazy, everything seemed better when I was a kid, kind of way.
