Ergom KM 50/16 Copper Ring Terminal

The Ergom KM 50/16 copper ring terminal is a professional-grade electrical component engineered for secure and efficient cable terminations. Designed specifically for conductors with a cross-section of 50 mm², this terminal features a 16 mm stud hole, making it compatible with a wide range of industrial bolts and connection points. Its high-quality copper construction ensures superior electrical conductivity and long-term mechanical stability, which is essential for maintaining reliable power distribution in demanding electrical systems.

Advantages

This ring terminal offers exceptional performance due to its high-purity copper material, which minimizes resistance and prevents overheating during high-current operations. The robust design provides excellent resistance to mechanical stress and environmental factors, ensuring a durable connection that withstands the rigors of industrial environments. Its precise manufacturing allows for consistent crimping, which is vital for achieving a gas-tight connection that protects the conductor from oxidation and corrosion over time.

Suitable for

• Power distribution cabinets and switchgear
• Industrial electrical installations
• Heavy-duty machinery and equipment wiring
• Commercial electrical infrastructure projects

This terminal is not suitable for use with aluminum conductors, as direct contact between copper and aluminum can lead to galvanic corrosion. It is also not intended for applications requiring flexible, high-vibration connections where specialized vibration-resistant terminals might be preferred.

Key specifications

• Material: High-quality copper
• Conductor cross-section: 50 mm²
• Stud hole diameter: 16 mm
• Design: Ring terminal type

To use the Ergom KM 50/16, first strip the insulation from the end of the 50 mm² conductor to the appropriate length. Insert the conductor fully into the barrel of the terminal. Using a professional-grade hydraulic or manual crimping tool calibrated for 50 mm² terminals, apply sufficient pressure to create a secure, permanent mechanical bond between the terminal and the wire. Ensure the connection is clean and free of debris before tightening the bolt through the 16 mm stud hole.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the conductor cross-section matches the 50 mm² specification
• Ensure the 16 mm stud hole size is compatible with your existing connection hardware
• Confirm the use of appropriate crimping tools for high-gauge copper terminals
• Check for environmental compatibility regarding potential corrosion risks

For optimal results, always use a calibrated crimping tool and ensure the conductor is properly cleaned before installation to maintain maximum electrical conductivity and mechanical integrity.
