I understand the desire to have the ideal tool or piece of equipment for any given situation. I work as a contractor and own a large collection of tools. On my own electric range, however, I replaced these with a crimper from my multi-purpose electrical wire cutters/stripper/crimper. tool. It's been three years, and the oven is still in excellent condition.
It's a traditional female push-on terminal.

Excellent craftsmanship. Secure and firm. High-temperature wiring necessitates the use of name-brand stiff high-temperature stainless connectors. br>Generic connectors will soften and/or thermal cycle, and can come loose or loose enough to allow a heated connection. For anything higher than ambient / generic house/automotive, you must use these high temperature types. br>br>These are for stoves, ovens, and heaters. br>br>I used these, along with heavier gauge wire, to rebuild my Masterbuilt smoker. br>br>Those connections can easily reach 300 degrees as an inside temperature, and even higher on the connections to the heating element. br>br>I paired them with ceramic wire nuts (to prevent plastic from softening and loosening) and high-temperature wire. br>br>They're also great for repairing hot plates, small electric heaters, and other small appliances.
These were exactly what I needed to replace a burnt-off disconnect on an electric range oven element, and they worked perfectly. For this type of high voltage and high temperature situation, you can't use big box or auto parts store types. In addition, a special crimping tool for the flag connector, as well as some "high temperature" 14G wire, are required, and the finished product must resemble that of a manufacturing facility. The total cost of the tool and parts was around $35. In time for Thanksgiving, the oven has been repaired. wife who is content.
So I dug in and discovered that a rodent had helped me out. As a result, I had to replace a number of wires on the capacitor and switch on the unit. I used a few of these well-made connectors because I had limited space. They were successful in their mission. To avoid any future issues, I wrapped these in heat shrink tubing.
The connectors appear to be of good quality, but the ones I received looked nothing like the ones in the pictures. They appear to be "flag" connections based on the description and photos. The "flag" was actually closed like a round cylinder in the package I received. Each cylinder had to be opened and bent to form a "flag. ".
When I needed to replace the broil element and relay board on my LG Electric Oven, these were perfect. The originals were melted or burned in some cases. They claimed that standard plated brass ones would not withstand the higher temperatures, so these were the best option. I used a vise-grip to crimp them.
It may seem silly, but I wish I could have purchased only two instead of twenty of these. I used it at home to replace an electric oven element, and it worked flawlessly and continues to do so. However, I now have an excess of 18 that I don't know what to do with.
These were perfect for repairing one of my GE Spectra oven's oven element wires. Others have suggested using pliers to crimp them. That could work, but the right tool is so much more effective. "Pro'sKit 300-" by Eclipse Tools was used. The 073 Lunar Series Crimper, Flag Terminal, Uninsulated" crimpers performed admirably.
They were simple to put together and perfectly suited my needs.
