Ergom KM 185/16 Copper Ring Terminal

The Ergom KM 185/16 copper ring terminal is a professional-grade electrical component designed to provide secure and efficient cable terminations. Crafted from high-quality copper, this terminal is engineered to maintain excellent electrical conductivity and mechanical stability in demanding environments. It is specifically designed to accommodate cables with a cross-section of 185 mm² and features a 16 mm stud hole, making it a reliable choice for heavy-duty electrical infrastructure and power distribution networks.

Advantages

The primary advantage of the Ergom KM 185/16 terminal lies in its robust construction, which ensures low contact resistance and long-term durability. By utilizing high-purity copper, the terminal minimizes energy loss and prevents overheating at connection points. Its precise design facilitates a consistent and firm grip on the conductor, which is essential for maintaining the integrity of electrical systems under load. The ring-type configuration provides a stable mounting surface that resists vibration and mechanical stress, ensuring that connections remain secure over extended periods of operation.

Suitable for

• Power distribution systems and electrical cabinets
• Industrial machinery and heavy equipment wiring
• Infrastructure projects requiring high-current connections
• Professional electrical installations and maintenance

When it may not be suitable

This terminal is not intended for use with cables that do not match the specified 185 mm² cross-section, as improper sizing can lead to poor electrical contact and potential safety hazards. It is also not suitable for applications involving highly corrosive environments unless additional protective measures are applied to the connection point.

Key specifications

• Material: High-quality copper
• Cable cross-section: 185 mm²
• Stud hole diameter: 16 mm
• Design: Ring terminal

How to use

To install the Ergom KM 185/16 terminal, first strip the insulation from the end of the 185 mm² cable to the appropriate length. Insert the conductor fully into the barrel of the terminal. Using a professional-grade hydraulic crimping tool compatible with this terminal size, apply sufficient pressure to create a permanent, gas-tight connection. Once crimped, the terminal can be mounted onto a 16 mm bolt or stud and secured with a nut and washer to ensure a stable electrical contact.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the cable cross-section matches the 185 mm² specification
• Ensure the mounting stud size is exactly 16 mm
• Confirm the availability of a compatible hydraulic crimping tool
• Check environmental conditions to determine if additional insulation or protection is required

Usage recommendations

Always use a calibrated crimping tool designed for the specific terminal size to ensure a reliable connection. Regularly inspect the connection point for signs of oxidation or loosening, especially in high-vibration environments.
