The Ergom KOI 16/6 insulated ring terminal is a high-quality electrical component engineered for secure and reliable wire termination. Designed specifically for conductors with a cross-section of 16 mm², this terminal features a 6 mm stud hole, making it compatible with a wide range of standard electrical hardware. Its robust construction ensures long-term stability and protection against mechanical stress, contributing to the overall integrity of electrical systems in both industrial and commercial applications.
Advantages
The primary benefit of the Ergom KOI 16/6 terminal is its integrated insulation, which provides essential protection against short circuits and accidental contact. The ring design ensures a permanent and vibration-resistant connection when fastened with a bolt or screw, minimizing the risk of loose contacts over time. Its precise manufacturing ensures consistent performance and ease of installation, allowing for efficient assembly in professional wiring projects.
Suitable for
- Connecting 16 mm² electrical conductors to terminal blocks or busbars
- Securing ground connections in electrical panels
- Wiring installations in control cabinets and distribution boards
- Automotive and machinery electrical maintenance
When it may not be suitable
This terminal is not intended for use with conductors that fall outside the specified 16 mm² cross-section range, as improper sizing can lead to poor electrical contact or mechanical failure. It is also not suitable for environments where the insulation material may be exposed to temperatures exceeding its rated limits or aggressive chemical substances that could degrade the plastic coating.
Key specifications
- Conductor cross-section: 16 mm²
- Stud hole diameter: 6 mm
- Terminal type: Insulated ring terminal
- Material: High-conductivity copper with insulation sleeve
How to use
To use the Ergom KOI 16/6 terminal, first strip the insulation from the end of the 16 mm² conductor to the appropriate length. Insert the bare wire into the metal barrel of the terminal. Using a professional crimping tool designed for insulated terminals, apply sufficient pressure to create a gas-tight mechanical and electrical connection. Once crimped, place the ring over the corresponding stud or bolt and tighten the nut or screw securely to ensure a firm electrical contact.
What to consider before purchase
- Verify that your conductor size is exactly 16 mm²
- Ensure the 6 mm stud hole matches the diameter of your mounting bolt
- Check that you have the correct crimping tool for insulated terminals
- Confirm the environmental conditions are compatible with the terminal insulation
Usage recommendations
Always use a calibrated crimping tool to ensure the integrity of the connection. Avoid over-tightening the mounting bolt to prevent damage to the terminal ring or the surrounding assembly.
