Ergom KM 16/12 Copper Ring Terminal for 16mm² Cable with 12mm Stud Hole

The Ergom KM 16/12 copper ring terminal is a professional-grade electrical component engineered for secure and efficient cable termination. Designed specifically for 16mm² cross-section cables, this terminal features a 12mm stud hole, making it compatible with a wide range of industrial electrical hardware. Its robust copper construction ensures excellent electrical conductivity and long-term reliability in demanding power distribution and grounding systems.

Advantages

This terminal offers superior performance due to its high-purity copper material, which minimizes resistance and prevents overheating at connection points. The ring design provides a stable, vibration-resistant contact surface that is ideal for heavy-duty electrical installations. Its precise manufacturing ensures a consistent fit, facilitating easier installation and reducing the risk of mechanical failure in critical power circuits.

Suitable for

• Power distribution panels and switchgear
• Grounding and earthing connections
• Industrial machinery and equipment wiring
• Automotive and marine electrical systems

This terminal is not suitable for use with aluminum cables due to the risk of galvanic corrosion. It is also not intended for high-temperature environments exceeding the thermal rating of standard copper connectors or for applications requiring specialized insulation materials not provided by this bare terminal.

Key specifications

• Material: High-conductivity copper
• Cable cross-section: 16mm²
• Stud hole diameter: 12mm
• Design: Ring terminal

To use the Ergom KM 16/12, first strip the insulation from the end of the 16mm² cable to the appropriate length. Insert the conductor into the barrel of the terminal and use a professional crimping tool designed for copper lugs to create a permanent, gas-tight connection. Once crimped, secure the terminal to the desired stud using a matching nut and washer to ensure a firm electrical contact.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the cable cross-section matches the 16mm² specification
• Ensure the 12mm stud size is compatible with your connection point
• Use appropriate crimping tools to ensure a secure connection
• Confirm the environment is free from corrosive elements that could affect copper

Usage recommendations: Always ensure the crimping tool is calibrated for the specific size of the terminal to prevent loose connections. Regularly inspect the connection point for signs of oxidation or heat damage in high-vibration environments.
