Terminal size to connector size

connectorwire-terminals

This may be a stupid question, so please bear with me.

I have a fuse block with #8-32 and #10-32 screw terminals. What size loop connectors would I order for those, for proper fit? The loop connectors are usually listed in fractions of inch. How do you convert #8 and #10 to loop connector sizes?

The search term you need is "tap drill sizes". Look for clearance drill sizes in a table.

There will usually be close fit and free fit sizes, which will give you a range of sizes for the ID of your ring terminal.

#8 might be 0.1695/0.1770"

#10 might be 0.1960/0.2010"
