Reading part numbers

The letter after RAM tells you the ball size: RAM-B-166 uses a 1" B ball, while RAM-D-201 uses a 2.25" D ball. C size parts are the exception and carry no letter, so RAM-201U is a C size arm.

Overview

The RAM® Round Plate with Ball (RAM-202U) features a 1.5" C size overmolded rubber ball attached to a 2.5" diameter round plate. This mounting component includes pre-drilled holes in the universal 4-hole AMPS pattern and is constructed from powder-coated, marine-grade aluminum for long-lasting durability in demanding environments.
