Ergom PK 2.5/0.14-2.5 Insulated Cord End Terminal

The Ergom PK 2.5/0.14-2.5 insulated cord end terminal is a professional-grade component designed for the secure termination of flexible copper conductors. By providing a robust connection point, this terminal prevents wire fraying and ensures optimal electrical conductivity in various wiring applications. Its insulated design enhances safety by reducing the risk of short circuits and providing strain relief at the connection point, making it an essential tool for maintaining organized and reliable electrical systems.

Advantages

This cord end terminal offers exceptional reliability by consolidating fine wire strands into a single, solid unit, which significantly improves the quality of screw or spring-clamp connections. The integrated insulation sleeve provides a smooth transition between the wire and the terminal, protecting the conductor from mechanical stress and vibration. Its design facilitates quick and efficient installation, allowing for consistent results in high-density control panels and complex electrical assemblies.

Suitable for

• Termination of flexible copper wires in control cabinets
• Connecting conductors to terminal blocks and circuit breakers
• Electrical maintenance and repair projects
• Industrial automation and control panel wiring

When it may not be suitable

This terminal is specifically designed for flexible copper conductors and is not suitable for use with solid core wires, as the crimping process may damage the conductor. It should not be used in applications where the wire gauge exceeds the specified capacity of the terminal or in environments with extreme temperatures that exceed the thermal rating of the insulation material.

Key specifications

• Conductor cross-section capacity: 2.5 mm²
• Insulation material: Polypropylene
• Terminal material: Tin-plated copper
• Design: Insulated sleeve for wire protection

How to use

To use the terminal, first strip the insulation from the end of the flexible copper wire to the appropriate length. Insert the exposed wire strands into the metal tube of the terminal until the strands are fully seated. Use a compatible crimping tool designed for cord end terminals to apply uniform pressure across the metal sleeve, ensuring a gas-tight connection. Once crimped, the terminal can be inserted into the desired terminal block or connector.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure the wire gauge matches the 2.5 mm² specification
• Verify that you have a compatible crimping tool for this terminal size
• Check the space requirements within your terminal block or enclosure

Usage recommendations

For the most reliable electrical connection, always use a calibrated crimping tool that matches the specific profile of the terminal. Avoid over-crimping, which can weaken the metal structure, and ensure that no wire strands are left outside the terminal sleeve before the crimping process begins.
