262586 - Miller 1/0 AWG Flag Terminal 5/16 Stud Solistrand

Reliable Electrical Connections with Miller OEM Parts

The Miller 262586 is a specialized Flag Terminal designed for heavy-duty electrical applications within welding equipment. Engineered to accommodate 1/0 AWG cable, this terminal features a "flag" configuration, meaning the barrel is oriented at a 90-degree angle relative to the tongue. This design is critical for installations where space is limited, or where the cable must approach the connection point from a perpendicular angle to avoid stress on the wire strands. The terminal is designed with a 0.312-inch (approximately 5/16") stud hole, making it compatible with standard bus bar or stud connections found in industrial power sources.

Manufactured under the Solistrand style, this terminal is built for performance. Solistrand terminals are renowned in the industry for their uninsulated, brazed-seam barrels which provide uniform tensile strength. The interior of the barrel is often serrated or dimpled to maximize the contact surface area with the wire strands after crimping. This ensures a low-resistance connection that can handle the high amperage loads typical of welding outputs without overheating. Using the correct terminal is essential for maintaining the efficiency of the welding circuit and preventing voltage drops that could affect arc stability.

As a genuine Miller Electric replacement part, the 262586 ensures compatibility with the specific tolerances and material requirements of Miller welding machines. Whether used for internal power routing or external output connections, this copper terminal offers excellent conductivity and corrosion resistance. Professional technicians understand that substituting generic lugs in tight machine chassis can lead to clearance issues or short circuits; using the OEM specified flag terminal guarantees the repair meets factory safety and performance standards.
