Ergom KOR 16/6 Tinned Copper Ring Terminal

The Ergom KOR 16/6 tinned copper ring terminal is a professional-grade electrical component designed to provide secure and efficient connections for 16 mm² conductors. Manufactured from high-quality copper and finished with a protective tin coating, this terminal offers superior electrical conductivity while preventing oxidation and corrosion in demanding environments. Its robust construction ensures long-term reliability for critical electrical systems.

Advantages

The primary benefit of the Ergom KOR 16/6 terminal is its exceptional material quality, which minimizes resistance and heat generation at the connection point. The tin plating provides an essential barrier against environmental factors, making it suitable for use in industrial settings where moisture or chemical exposure might otherwise degrade standard copper connections. The ring design ensures a stable, vibration-resistant contact that remains secure over time, reducing the need for frequent maintenance.

Suitable for

• Industrial electrical panel wiring
• Power distribution systems
• Automotive and marine electrical installations
• Grounding connections
• Heavy-duty machinery maintenance

When it may not be suitable

This terminal is specifically engineered for 16 mm² conductors and a 6 mm stud size. It is not suitable for cables with different cross-sections, as an improper fit will result in poor electrical contact and potential overheating. Additionally, it should not be used in environments where the operating temperature exceeds the thermal limits of the copper material or the insulation of the connected cable.

Key specifications

• Material: Tinned copper
• Conductor cross-section: 16 mm²
• Stud hole diameter: 6 mm
• Connection type: Ring terminal

How to use

To install the Ergom KOR 16/6 terminal, first strip the insulation from the end of the 16 mm² conductor to the appropriate length. Insert the conductor into the barrel of the terminal and use a professional-grade crimping tool designed for this specific size to ensure a gas-tight mechanical bond. Once crimped, place the ring over the corresponding 6 mm stud and secure it firmly with a nut or bolt to ensure optimal electrical contact.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the conductor cross-section matches the 16 mm² requirement.
• Ensure the mounting stud diameter is exactly 6 mm.
• Confirm that the crimping tool available is compatible with this terminal size.
• Check the environmental conditions to ensure tinned copper is appropriate for the application.

Usage recommendations

Always use a calibrated crimping tool to ensure the integrity of the connection. Avoid over-tightening the mounting nut to prevent damage to the terminal ring or the stud threads.
