Ring Terminal Ergom KOR 16/10 tinned copper (E11KM-01020103100)

Ergom KOR 16/10 tinned copper ring terminal is designed to create a secure, low-resistance electrical connection for conductors with a 16 mm² cross-section. The terminal features a 10 mm mounting hole that fits common bolts and studs used in power distribution blocks, control panels, and vehicle battery or grounding connections. Tinned copper construction provides improved conductivity and enhanced resistance to oxidation and corrosion in standard indoor and many industrial environments.

Advantages

The tinned copper surface ensures reliable electrical contact and reduces the risk of high-resistance joints caused by corrosion. Its stamped and formed body offers consistent mechanical strength for a firm crimp and long-term stability. The 10 mm hole dimension and the barrel sized for 16 mm² conductors make installation straightforward with standard crimping tools and compatible fasteners. The terminal's plating improves durability in normal operating conditions and simplifies maintenance by reducing cleaning frequency.

Suitable for

• Power distribution blocks and busbars in electrical panels
• Battery connections, grounding straps, and chassis earthing in automotive and marine applications
• Industrial control cabinets and switchgear terminations
• Permanent wiring terminations where a ring-style lug is required for bolted connections

When it may not be suitable

This ring terminal is intended for use with 16 mm² conductors and a 10 mm mounting bolt or stud; it is not suitable for conductors of substantially different cross-sections or for mounting hardware with a significantly larger or smaller diameter. It should not be used where specialized high-temperature, high-vibration, or corrosive-environment materials (such as stainless steel or specially coated lugs) are explicitly required by application standards.

Key specifications

• Conductor size compatibility: 16 mm²
• Mounting hole diameter: 10 mm
• Material: copper with tin plating
• Connection type: ring terminal (crimp barrel)
• Typical use: bolted termination for power and grounding circuits

How to use

Prepare the conductor by stripping the insulation to the appropriate length for the crimp barrel. Insert the conductor fully into the barrel, ensuring all strands are inside and no insulation is trapped. Use a suitable crimping tool sized for 16 mm² terminals to apply a proper crimp, producing a secure mechanical and electrical joint. Mount the ring terminal onto the bolt or stud and secure with the appropriate nut and washer, applying the torque recommended for the fastener size and material. Inspect the connection for tightness and correct placement after installation.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm conductor cross-section is 16 mm² or within the terminal's specified range
• Verify the mounting bolt or stud diameter matches the 10 mm hole
• Ensure compatibility with the chosen crimping tool and method (insulated vs. non-insulated crimp)
• Assess environmental conditions—tinned copper suits many environments but may not suffice for highly corrosive or high-temperature applications

Usage recommendations

For reliable, long-term performance, use a calibrated crimping tool rated for 16 mm² terminals, apply appropriate torque to fasteners, and, where applicable, protect exposed connections with insulating covers or corrosion-inhibiting compounds. Periodic inspection for tightness and corrosion will help maintain electrical integrity.
