Trovac Ground Eyelet Termin...

Product details
Part ELECON03 is a ring-style crimp terminal used on the ground wiring inside a central vacuum power unit. Crimped onto the end of a ground wire and bolted to a chassis stud, it keeps the internal ground path solid between the frame, the motor, and the incoming power cord.
A ground connection like this one loosens gradually rather than failing all at once, worn down by corrosion at the crimp and the vibration a running motor sends through every joint around it. Once it goes, the safety ground it provided is compromised even though the unit may keep vacuuming as normal, which is why it is worth checking during any rewiring job rather than waiting for a breaker to trip.

Trovac publishes this terminal as a 10 16-14 ring, meaning a #10 mounting stud and 16 to 14 gauge wire. Size the eyelet to your wire gauge and the mounting stud before ordering, and have any ground-related repair reviewed by someone experienced with the wiring involved.
