Ring Terminal #10 x 16/14 AWG (15245 / 00611)

The Ring Terminal #10 x 16/14 AWG is a genuine Tacony OEM insulated crimp terminal used in the wiring of the Tornado CK 3030 wide-area vacuum (Model 93030). Tacony lists a different number depending on the machine’s series, so this listing carries both: 15245 for Series F and 00611 for Series G. Choose your series above and the correct part number is applied to the order.

A ring terminal terminates stranded wire in a closed loop that slides over a #10 stud or screw and is trapped when the fastener is tightened. Unlike a spade or blade terminal it cannot vibrate off a connection that has gone slightly loose, so it is the terminal Tacony uses where a dropped connection would be more than an inconvenience — chassis ground, and the feeds around the switch, circuit breaker and motor. The insulated barrel is sized for 16 and 14 gauge wire, which is the range used throughout this machine’s harness.

Terminals are usually replaced during another repair rather than on their own. If you are fitting a new switch, circuit breaker or motor lead, cut back to clean copper and crimp a fresh terminal rather than reusing the old one — a crimp that has been opened and closed once no longer makes full contact with the strands, and that is what produces the hot joint you find later.

Twin City Vacuum has been selling and servicing Tacony equipment since 1956 and supplies the genuine Tacony terminals for this machine rather than a generic bag equivalent. Browse the full Tornado 93030 main assembly parts, or read more on the Tornado manufacturer site.

Note on the Series G terminal (00611): Tacony does not currently list 00611 in the online dealer catalogue, so no price is shown for that option. Call us at 763-535-0770 and we will source it and quote you.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Ring Terminal do on the Tornado 93030?

It is the insulated crimp terminal that lands a 16 or 14 AWG wire on a #10 stud or screw inside the machine — ground connections and switch, motor and circuit-breaker feeds. The closed ring cannot pull off a loosened stud the way a spade terminal can, which is why Tacony specifies it for the connections that matter for safety.

Which part number do I need, 15245 or 00611?

Choose by series. Series F uses 15245 (item 82 on the Series F front-view diagram); Series G uses 00611 (item 103 on the Series G exploded view). Both are #10 insulated ring terminals for 16/14 AWG wire. Use the selector above and pick the series shown on your machine’s data label.

How do I know if my Ring Terminal needs replacing?

Replace a ring terminal that is discoloured or heat-browned at the barrel, one with broken or corroded strands showing behind the insulation, one whose insulation has cracked or slid back, or any terminal that turns freely on its stud after the screw is tightened. A hot or intermittent connection almost always shows at the terminal first. Always fit a new terminal rather than re-crimping an old one.
