Ergom KOI 16/8 Insulated Ring Terminal

The Ergom KOI 16/8 insulated ring terminal is a high-quality electrical component engineered for secure and reliable wire terminations. Designed specifically for 16 mm² conductors, this terminal features an 8 mm stud hole, making it an ideal choice for robust connections in various electrical systems. The integrated insulation provides essential protection against accidental short circuits and enhances the overall safety of the electrical installation.

Advantages

This ring terminal offers exceptional mechanical strength and electrical conductivity, ensuring a stable connection that resists vibration and environmental stress. The high-grade insulation material is durable and resistant to wear, which helps maintain the integrity of the connection over long periods of operation. Its design facilitates easy installation while providing a consistent and professional finish for industrial and commercial wiring projects.

Suitable for

• Electrical control panels
• Industrial wiring systems
• Power distribution equipment
• Automotive electrical installations
• General electrical maintenance and repair

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 applications requiring high-temperature resistance beyond the standard ratings of the insulation material.

Key specifications

• Conductor cross-section: 16 mm²
• Stud size: 8 mm
• Insulation type: Pre-insulated
• Terminal shape: Ring

How to use

To use the Ergom KOI 16/8 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. Use a professional-grade crimping tool specifically calibrated for insulated terminals to compress the barrel firmly onto the wire. Ensure that the crimp is tight and that the wire is securely held before mounting the terminal onto the 8 mm stud using a compatible nut or bolt.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the conductor size is exactly 16 mm²
• Ensure the stud diameter matches the 8 mm opening
• Confirm that the crimping tool available is compatible with insulated ring terminals
• Check the environmental conditions of the installation site

Usage recommendations

Always use a calibrated crimping tool to ensure a gas-tight connection. Inspect the connection periodically for signs of wear or loosening, especially in high-vibration environments.
