Ergom PK 16/6-16 Cable Lug

The Ergom PK 16/6-16 cable lug is a high-quality terminal designed for establishing secure and durable electrical connections. Engineered for professional use, this component facilitates the reliable termination of copper conductors, ensuring optimal electrical conductivity and mechanical stability within various wiring systems. Its robust construction makes it an essential element for maintaining safety and performance in both industrial and residential electrical infrastructures.

Advantages

This cable lug offers exceptional reliability due to its precise manufacturing and high-grade materials, which minimize resistance and prevent overheating at connection points. The design promotes efficient installation, allowing for a firm grip on the conductor that withstands mechanical stress and environmental factors over time. By providing a consistent contact surface, it helps to maintain the integrity of electrical circuits and reduces the risk of connection failures in demanding applications.

Suitable for

• Industrial electrical panel wiring
• Residential electrical distribution systems
• Connecting copper conductors to terminal blocks
• Maintenance and repair of electrical installations

When it may not be suitable

This cable lug is specifically designed for copper conductors and should not be used with aluminum wiring due to the risk of galvanic corrosion. It is also not intended for high-voltage power transmission lines or environments where specialized corrosion-resistant coatings are required beyond standard industrial specifications.

Key specifications

• Material: High-conductivity copper
• Conductor cross-section: 16 mm²
• Stud hole diameter: 6 mm
• Compatibility: Copper conductors

How to use

To use the Ergom PK 16/6-16 cable lug, first strip the insulation from the end of the copper conductor to the appropriate length. Insert the conductor fully into the barrel of the lug. Use a professional crimping tool specifically calibrated for the lug size to ensure a secure mechanical and electrical bond. Once crimped, the lug can be fastened to the desired terminal or busbar using a bolt and nut, ensuring the connection is tightened to the manufacturer's recommended torque specifications.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the cross-section of your copper conductor matches the 16 mm² specification.
• Ensure the stud hole diameter of 6 mm is compatible with your existing connection point.
• Confirm that the installation environment is free from substances that could cause rapid corrosion of copper.

Usage recommendations

Always use a calibrated crimping tool to ensure a proper connection. Avoid reusing a lug once it has been crimped, as this can compromise the mechanical integrity and electrical conductivity of the joint.
