Ergom KM 16/5 Copper Ring Terminal

The Ergom KM 16/5 copper ring terminal is a professional-grade electrical component designed to provide secure and efficient cable terminations. Manufactured from high-quality copper, this terminal ensures excellent electrical conductivity and long-term durability in various wiring environments. Its robust construction facilitates a stable connection, minimizing resistance and preventing overheating in electrical circuits.

Advantages

The primary benefit of the Ergom KM 16/5 terminal is its superior material composition, which offers optimal conductivity and resistance to corrosion. The ring design allows for a firm mechanical attachment to studs or bolts, ensuring that the connection remains intact even under vibration or thermal expansion. Its precise engineering makes it a reliable choice for maintaining consistent electrical performance in demanding industrial and residential applications.

Suitable for

• Industrial electrical panel wiring
• Residential power distribution systems
• Grounding connections
• Automotive electrical installations
• Heavy-duty machinery cable terminations

When it may not be suitable

This terminal is not intended for use with aluminum conductors, as this can lead to galvanic corrosion. It is also not suitable for applications requiring high-temperature insulation or specialized environmental sealing, as the terminal itself is uninsulated.

Key specifications

• Material: High-conductivity copper
• Terminal type: Ring terminal
• Conductor cross-section: 16 mm²
• Stud hole diameter: 5 mm

How to use

To use the Ergom KM 16/5 terminal, first strip the insulation from the end of the copper wire to the appropriate length. Insert the conductor into the barrel of the terminal. Use a professional crimping tool specifically designed for copper ring terminals to compress the barrel firmly onto the wire. Ensure the crimp is tight and secure before mounting the ring onto the desired stud or bolt, then fasten it securely with a nut or screw.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the cross-section of your cable matches the 16 mm² specification.
• Ensure the stud or bolt diameter is compatible with the 5 mm hole.
• Confirm that your crimping tool is compatible with this specific terminal size.
• Check if the application environment requires insulated terminals.

Usage recommendations

For the most reliable connection, always use a calibrated crimping tool and ensure the wire is clean and free of oxidation before installation. Periodically inspect the connection for signs of loosening or heat damage in high-vibration environments.
