KET ST710846-3 Earth Ring Terminal: Ground Point Evidence Checklist

Find the exact KET ST710846-3 catalogue entry and organize the terminal, wire and ground joint evidence needed before a harness change.

1. Start with the complete ordering reference

A harness ground point has its own drawing, while a ring terminal has its own ordering number. Keep both visible on the enquiry. KET lists ST710846-3 in the earth ring terminal section of its official 2018 catalogue. In the linked PDF, go to page 263 and look for ST 710846-3, with a space after the prefix. The EPPTC record uses the same number without that space. Preserve the suffix in every search, label transcription and document request.

The catalogue establishes a published entry for that part number. Its age matters: request the applicable controlled drawing and record the revision before using a dimension for a purchase or engineering decision. If the search engine offers a part with the same stem and a different suffix, keep that result in a separate note. It cannot answer which finish, geometry or wire preparation applies to the requested variant.

2. Split the evidence between the terminal and the joint

For the terminal record, ask for the drawing and identify the view that describes the ring and barrel. For the joint, identify the assembly drawing and the exact grounding location. Compare the ring interface, seating area, neighbouring features and direction of wire exit against that assembly. A ring that slips over a stud during a trial still leaves questions about the assembled stack and available clearance. Record those questions against the project drawing rather than inferring answers from a catalogue image.

Build a separate wire and tooling row. State the proposed conductor specification, insulation and applicable terminal processing document. Ask for the combination-specific tooling and inspection instruction. Treat stripping length, crimp setup, pull-test acceptance and joint tightening as separate fields that must come from the responsible controlled documents. This article supplies no workshop settings. A purchasing enquiry can proceed with open fields marked, while any production release follows the project process.

3. Make the handoff easy to review

• Identity: save the complete manufacturer reference, the catalogue page and the label or quotation that connects the ordered item to that reference.
• Terminal: record the controlled drawing revision, which views were checked and who is expected to clarify a conflict.
• Wire and tool: keep the intended wire specification and the source that defines processing and inspection for that combination.
• Joint: retain the assembly reference and location, then keep sample observations separate from the approved project disposition.

Use a status such as confirmed, missing or conflicting for each row. If two documents use different units or describe different configurations, keep both entries and ask which scope applies. Leave unresolved fields open in the handoff rather than replacing them with a value from another terminal. This gives receiving, purchasing and engineering a common record without assuming they make the same decision.

In a sample review, capture the label and inspection observation alongside the associated drawing reference. If the next shipment carries a different reference or the documentation arrives without a revision, flag the change before closing the record. A dated photograph can help explain a discrepancy; it cannot establish an installation condition by itself. Keep the original observation after the issue is resolved so the next team can trace why the decision was made.

4. FAQ: what can the catalogue settle?

Can the 2018 listing prove current availability? It confirms a catalogue entry only; ask for a dated supply response. Can a similar ring terminal replace ST710846-3? Compare complete references, exact interfaces and process documents, then obtain the project disposition. Does the connector terminal directory specify a vehicle application? It is a browsing aid. The local product does not have a verified series or application directory assignment, so the related links are limited to the product, brand, category and contact page.

5. Conclusion: send a request tied to the ground point

When requesting documents for ST710846-3, send the complete part reference, the intended wire, the ground point drawing number and a short list of unresolved items. Include the revision of any document you already hold so the response can explain what changed. The banner illustrates document review and does not depict the exact part. The useful next step is obtaining the drawing or instruction that closes a specific gap, then recording that answer with its scope.
