HD Tin-Plated Eyelet — 2 AWG / 1/4″
The 2 AWG Tin Plated Eyelet 1/4 Stud — SKU: 214LTP is a heavy-duty tin-plated copper eyelet terminal for 2 AWG large-gauge cable, providing a reliable, corrosion-resistant crimp termination for motorsport battery wiring, alternator output feeds, earth straps, and high-current power distribution in race car and performance vehicle electrical systems. The tin plating over the copper barrel and eyelet ring suppresses oxidation at both the crimp interface and stud contact face, ensuring stable, low-resistance connections throughout the terminal’s service life.
2 AWG — Gauge Selection
2 AWG is the most widely used main battery cable size in motorsport — the standard for battery-to-distribution, battery-to-chassis-earth, and alternator output cables in most race car builds. The 214LTP crimp barrel is sized precisely for 2 AWG conductor cross-section — ensuring full barrel fill during crimping for maximum mechanical retention and minimum contact resistance.
1/4″ Stud — Fixing Size
The 1/4″ stud is the most common chassis earth and distribution terminal stud size, making the 2 AWG / 1/4″ pairing the most frequent main power cable termination scenario. Verify the stud or bolt diameter at the target connection point before ordering to ensure correct fit and adequate contact surface area at the power circuit join.
Tin Plating — Joint Integrity
Bare copper terminals oxidise when exposed to heat cycling, moisture, and the chemically active atmosphere of a race engine bay. Oxidation increases resistance, generates heat under load, and accelerates joint degradation. The tin plating on the 214LTP resists oxidation far longer than bare copper, maintaining joint quality across a full racing season and multiple years of competitive use.
