⚙️ Key Features

• 0.005 kg
• Listed for 124 applications on D series engines
• The wider fitment of the two terminals listed here
• Companion terminal 978970 covers 18 applications

🔌 Function

Forms the end fitting on a cable so it can be bolted or clamped to a stud, post or terminal block, carrying the full circuit current across the joint.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Electrics dropping out or flickering as the joint moves with vibration
• Green or white powdery corrosion around the crimp barrel
• Terminal discoloured or heat-marked from a high-resistance joint
• Cable pulling out of the barrel, or strands broken at the neck
• Insulation cracked or melted back behind the terminal

🛠️ Service Notes

• Crimp with the correct die rather than pliers - a partial crimp is the usual cause of a joint that runs hot
• Clean the mating stud and nut at the same time; a new terminal on a corroded post will fail again
• The other terminal here, 978970, is a different number - match to the harness rather than by feel

📦 Condition

• Genuine Volvo Penta part
• Brand new
• Supplied in original or equivalent packaging
