Ring terminal with integrated anti-rotational third hand mechanism

Abstract

A vehicle includes a body defining a passenger compartment. The body includes a substrate having an attachment opening and an alignment feature. A wiring harness including a plurality of electrical conductors is supported on the substrate. A ring terminal system connects one of the plurality of electrical conductors to the substrate. The ring terminal system includes a ring terminal having a ring terminal body including a conductor end and a connector portion. The conductor end includes a surface electrically connected to the one of the plurality of electrical conductors. The connector portion includes a first opening and a second opening. The first opening is configured to receive a temporary fastener that passes into the alignment feature to align the second opening with the attachment opening on the substrate.
