Ergom copper ring terminal KM 16/8 (model E11KM-01010103000) — 16 mm² to 8 mm stud

Ergom copper ring terminal KM 16/8 is a single-piece crimp connector designed to terminate a 16 mm² conductor to an 8 mm stud. Manufactured from copper, the terminal offers good electrical conductivity and resistance to corrosion, providing a reliable bolted connection for power distribution, grounding and battery terminals in automotive, industrial and electrical installations.

Advantages

The one-piece construction ensures consistent mechanical strength and stable electrical contact after crimping. Copper material delivers low electrical resistance and improved conductivity compared with many plated alternatives, while inherent corrosion resistance increases service life in typical installation environments. The ring design secures the conductor under a bolt or stud, reducing the risk of loosening under vibration or thermal cycling.

Suitable for

• Connecting 16 mm² power cables to 8 mm studs on batteries and distribution blocks
• Grounding conductor terminations in vehicles and industrial equipment
• Power distribution and panel wiring where a bolted connection is required

Key specifications

• Conductor cross-section: 16 mm²
• Stud/bolt compatible diameter: 8 mm
• Material: copper
• Design: single-piece ring terminal for crimp termination

How to use

Strip the conductor insulation to the appropriate length, insert the conductor fully into the barrel of the ring terminal and perform a crimp using a suitable crimping tool for 16 mm² copper conductors. After crimping, place the ring over the 8 mm stud or bolt and secure with the appropriate washer and nut, ensuring correct torque values for the connection according to installation standards. Inspect the crimp and bolted joint for mechanical security and electrical continuity before energising the circuit.

Usage recommendations

Use a dedicated crimping tool rated for 16 mm² terminals to achieve a reliable crimp. Where exposure to moisture or aggressive environments is expected, consider additional protective measures such as insulating boots or corrosion-inhibiting compounds on the bolted joint. Verify and follow applicable installation and torque specifications for battery and grounding connections.
