Ergom KDR 150/16 Tinned Copper Ring Terminal

The Ergom KDR 150/16 is a professional-grade tinned copper ring terminal engineered for high-performance electrical connections. Designed to accommodate a 150 mm² cable cross-section and a 16 mm stud, this terminal provides a robust and reliable termination point for power distribution systems. The high-purity copper construction ensures excellent electrical conductivity, while the tin plating offers superior protection against oxidation and environmental corrosion, making it an ideal choice for demanding industrial environments.

Advantages

This ring terminal stands out due to its high-quality material composition which minimizes contact resistance and maximizes current-carrying capacity. The precise manufacturing process ensures a consistent fit, facilitating secure crimping that maintains structural integrity under mechanical stress and thermal expansion. Its corrosion-resistant finish extends the service life of the connection, reducing the need for frequent maintenance in harsh or humid conditions.

Suitable for

• Industrial power distribution panels
• Heavy-duty electrical machinery and equipment
• Commercial power cabling installations
• Grounding and earthing applications

When it may not be suitable

This terminal is not intended for use with cables that have a cross-section significantly smaller or larger than 150 mm², as this would result in an insecure connection. It is also not suitable for applications requiring non-conductive or insulated materials, as the terminal is made of bare metal.

Key specifications

• Material: Tinned copper
• Cable cross-section: 150 mm²
• Stud hole diameter: 16 mm
• Design: Ring terminal

How to use

To install the Ergom KDR 150/16, first strip the insulation from the end of the 150 mm² cable to the appropriate length. Insert the conductor into the barrel of the terminal. Use a professional-grade hydraulic crimping tool calibrated for 150 mm² terminals to ensure a gas-tight connection. Once crimped, secure the ring end to the 16 mm stud using a compatible bolt and washer, ensuring the connection is tightened to the manufacturer's recommended torque specifications.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your cable cross-section is exactly 150 mm²
• Ensure the mounting stud diameter matches the 16 mm hole
• Confirm that you have access to a hydraulic crimping tool suitable for this size
• Check the environmental conditions to ensure tinned copper is appropriate for your specific application

Usage recommendations

Always ensure the cable is fully inserted into the terminal barrel before crimping. Regularly inspect the connection for signs of overheating or loosening, especially in high-vibration environments.
