The EM Group tubular ring terminal is a high-quality electrical component engineered for the secure termination of 16mm² conductors. Constructed from premium tinned copper, this terminal provides superior electrical conductivity while offering robust protection against oxidation and environmental corrosion. Its design features a precise M6 mounting hole, allowing for stable and reliable connections in demanding electrical environments.
Advantages
The primary benefit of this tubular ring terminal is its durable tinned copper construction, which ensures long-term performance and minimal contact resistance. The tubular design allows for easy insertion of the conductor, facilitating a strong crimped connection that maintains integrity under mechanical stress. By utilizing tinned copper, the terminal remains resistant to rust and corrosion, making it an ideal choice for both indoor and outdoor electrical installations where reliability is critical.
Suitable for
- Power distribution panels
- Industrial machinery wiring
- Battery terminal connections
- Grounding systems
- Automotive electrical setups
This terminal may not be suitable for applications requiring conductors with a cross-section significantly different from 16mm², as an improper fit can lead to high resistance or mechanical failure. It is also not intended for use in environments where the mounting bolt size exceeds the M6 specification.
Key specifications
- Conductor cross-section: 16mm²
- Mounting hole diameter: M6
- Material: Tinned copper
- Terminal type: Tubular ring
To use this terminal, strip the insulation from the end of the 16mm² conductor to the appropriate length. Insert the conductor fully into the tubular barrel of the terminal. Use a professional crimping tool designed for tubular terminals to compress the barrel firmly onto the wire, ensuring a gas-tight connection. Once crimped, secure the ring end to the desired contact point using an M6 bolt and nut, ensuring the connection is tightened to the manufacturer's recommended torque.
What to consider before purchase
- Verify that your conductor size is exactly 16mm²
- Ensure the mounting surface accommodates an M6 bolt
- Check that you have the correct crimping tool for tubular terminals
- Confirm the environmental conditions are compatible with tinned copper
For optimal performance, always ensure the crimping tool is calibrated for the specific terminal size and that the conductor is clean and free of debris before insertion. Regularly inspect connections for signs of heat or mechanical loosening in high-vibration environments.
