Ergom KOR 16/12 Copper Ring Terminal, Tinned

The Ergom KOR 16/12 is a professional-grade tinned copper ring terminal engineered for reliable electrical terminations. Designed to accommodate 16 mm² conductors, this terminal features a 12 mm stud hole, providing a secure and stable connection point for various electrical systems. The high-purity copper construction ensures optimal electrical conductivity, while the tin plating provides a protective barrier against oxidation and environmental corrosion, making it a dependable choice for long-term installations.

Advantages

This terminal offers exceptional mechanical strength and electrical performance due to its robust copper construction. The tin coating significantly extends the service life of the connection by preventing corrosion, even in demanding industrial environments. Its precise design ensures a consistent fit, which minimizes contact resistance and helps maintain the integrity of the electrical circuit over time. The ring shape provides a secure mounting surface that resists loosening under vibration.

Suitable for

• Electrical panel building and distribution boards
• Industrial wiring and machinery connections
• Automotive and marine electrical systems
• Grounding and earthing applications
• Power supply unit terminations

When it may not be suitable

This terminal is specifically designed for 16 mm² conductors and a 12 mm stud size. It is not suitable for cables with different cross-sections, as an improper fit can lead to high resistance, overheating, or mechanical failure. It should not be used in environments where the material is exposed to chemicals that specifically react with tin or copper.

Key specifications

• Material: Tinned copper
• Conductor cross-section: 16 mm²
• Stud hole diameter: 12 mm
• Connection type: Ring terminal

How to use

To install the Ergom KOR 16/12, 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. Use a professional crimping tool specifically calibrated for 16 mm² terminals to ensure a gas-tight mechanical bond between the wire and the terminal. Once crimped, place the ring over the corresponding 12 mm stud and secure it firmly with a nut or bolt to ensure optimal contact pressure.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your cable cross-section is exactly 16 mm².
• Ensure the stud or bolt diameter matches the 12 mm hole size.
• Check that you have the correct crimping tool for this terminal size.
• Confirm the environmental conditions are compatible with tinned copper.

Usage recommendations

Always ensure that the crimping tool is fully closed during the process to achieve a proper connection. Regularly inspect connections in high-vibration environments to ensure that the mounting hardware remains tight.
