Ergom KOI 16/12 Insulated Ring Terminal

The Ergom KOI 16/12 Insulated Ring Terminal is a professional-grade electrical component designed to provide secure and reliable connections for 16 mm² conductors. Engineered for durability, this terminal features a high-quality insulation sleeve that enhances safety by preventing accidental contact and protecting the connection from environmental factors. Its robust construction ensures excellent electrical conductivity and mechanical stability, making it an essential part of any high-performance wiring system.

Advantages

The primary benefit of the Ergom KOI 16/12 is its ability to maintain a stable electrical contact under varying conditions, which is critical for preventing voltage drops and overheating. The integrated insulation sleeve simplifies the installation process by eliminating the need for additional heat-shrink tubing in many applications, thereby saving time and reducing material costs. Furthermore, the ring design allows for a firm, bolt-down connection that resists vibration and mechanical stress, ensuring long-term reliability in both industrial and residential electrical setups.

Suitable for

• Industrial control panels and switchgear
• Residential electrical distribution systems
• Automotive and marine wiring projects
• Heavy-duty machinery power connections

This terminal may not be suitable for applications requiring extreme high-temperature resistance beyond the rating of the standard insulation material. Additionally, it is not intended for use with conductors that fall outside the specified 16 mm² cross-section range, as this could compromise the integrity of the crimp connection.

Key specifications

• Conductor cross-section: 16 mm²
• Terminal type: Insulated ring terminal
• Material: High-conductivity copper with protective insulation
• Mounting style: Bolt-down ring

To use the Ergom KOI 16/12, first strip the insulation from the end of your 16 mm² conductor to the appropriate length. Insert the wire into the metal barrel of the terminal and use a professional-grade crimping tool designed for insulated terminals to create a secure mechanical bond. Ensure that the crimp is tight and that no loose strands are visible before securing the ring terminal to the desired contact point using a suitable bolt or screw.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the conductor size matches the 16 mm² specification
• Ensure the bolt size of your connection point is compatible with the ring diameter
• Confirm that your crimping tool is compatible with insulated ring terminals of this size

Usage recommendations: Always use a calibrated crimping tool to ensure the integrity of the connection. Regularly inspect the terminal for signs of corrosion or mechanical wear in high-vibration environments to maintain optimal electrical performance.
