Mini-thread terminal pressed | internal right-hand thread | A4 | M8449
INSTALLATION: Crimp terminal – requires crimping tools (hand crimper, hydraulic press or swaging machine) and is normally installed by a rigger or wire workshop. Cannot be installed with standard hand tools. Want to install it yourself? See our crimp-free DIY terminals.
INTERNAL RIGHT-HAND THREAD: This terminal has an internal right-hand thread (threaded sleeve). If you need a left-hand thread, see Mini-gangterminal crimped | internal left-hand thread | A4 | M8450. If you want an external thread, see M8445.
Mini-gangterminal crimped with internal right-hand thread in A4 stainless steel, also called a mini swage terminal with internal thread, sleeve terminal or mini swage terminal with internal thread, is intended for use in corrosive and marine environments. The terminal is a smooth tube that is crimped (swaged) onto the wire at one end and has an internal thread at the other, where a screw or threaded rod is screwed in. The product is used primarily on railing parts and boat railings where a discreet, smooth appearance is desired. It is suitable for professional installations where a long lifespan and consistent performance are crucial.
APPLICATION
The product is used in railing construction, wire railings and boat and yacht railings. It is intended for applications where the wire is to be attached with a screw or threaded fitting and where the material choice provides the necessary protection against corrosion and mechanical stress. Available for 3 mm (M5), 4 mm (M6), 5 mm (M6) and 6 mm (M8) wire.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)
What do I screw into the internal thread?
A screw, threaded rod or threaded fitting with the same thread size, for example an M6 screw for 4 and 5 mm wire. The thread depth is 20–25 mm depending on size, see the dimension drawing (L3).
Do I need a right-hand or left-hand thread?
For standard fastening with a screw, a right-hand thread is sufficient. If the wire is to be tensioned with a threaded rod that has right- and left-hand threads, a right-hand (M8449) and a left-hand terminal (M8450) of the same size are required.
What is the difference between a crimped and a crimp-free (DIY) terminal?
A crimped terminal has a smooth sleeve that is clamped onto the wire with crimping tools. It provides a slim, permanent connection but requires tools and cannot be removed without cutting the wire. A crimp-free DIY terminal has a cone and is installed with standard wrenches. This product is crimped.
Can you crimp the terminal for me?
No, we only sell the components. Contact a rigger or wire workshop, or choose a crimp-free DIY terminal that you install yourself.
What is the difference between A2 and A4?
A4 (AISI 316) contains molybdenum and is acid-resistant, which provides better resistance to salt and chlorides than A2 (AISI 304). A4 is recommended for boats and coastal environments.
