Frequently Asked Questions
Traditional ring terminals usually depend on a bolt and a nut to keep everything held in place with tension. That tension can ease up over time, especially after heat cycles and chassis vibration compromising the connection. Radlok connectors do not require a tool to make a connection that will stay put in a wide variety of environments.
Inside, the hyperbolic grid structure gives a broader contact surface, which helps lower contact resistance. And during big, high-amperage draws, the temperature rise is noticeably reduced, not just a little.
Radlok systems are built so they can manage steady loads with the benefit of a quick connection from 70A all the way up to 500A. In practice, this is why they are the go-to choice for battery relocation kits, high-output alternators, passing a cable through a firewall, and Electric Vehicle (EV) power distribution.
Yes. The Radlok bulkhead connector has been created to allow current flow from one side of the firewall to another. It ensures no rubbing will occur because it provides a safe and mechanical connection point, unlike general-purpose pass-throughs that simply allow wires to rub against the metal firewall.
The bulkhead connectors can be used to provide power to motorsport master relays and battery isolators with confidence
The act of mating does not require any tools, the crimping process demands that a good-quality hex hydraulic crimper be used to guarantee that the cable is correctly fused to the connector. The ability to maintain a small milli-volt drop at the point of contact relies heavily on the quality of the crimp.
The connectors can turn 360° once they have been set up without breaking connection.
Radlock connectors are often used in conjunction with premium lithium race batteries (such as the Full Spectrum, Braille, Go lithium, Odyssey, Antigravity, XS battery and many others). Radlock connectors can screw directly onto the terminals of the battery in some cases, in others they will need an adapter.
This is a critical function for race teams who need to be able to rapidly disconnect or change their power source during pit stops or when storing their vehicles.
In applications such as off-road or drag racing, vibration is a leading cause of electrical failure. Radlok's internal grid design maintains a constant spring force against the mating pin, ensuring that electrical contact is never interrupted.
The locking feature provides a tactile "click" to confirm engagement, providing peace of mind that the power interconnects will remain secure under the most extreme G-forces and mechanical stress.
