Ergom KOR 185/12 Copper Ring Terminal, Tinned, 185 mm² Cable Cross-Section, M12 Stud

The Ergom KOR 185/12 is a professional-grade tinned copper ring terminal engineered for high-performance electrical connectivity. Designed to accommodate cables with a cross-section of 185 mm², this terminal ensures a secure and stable connection for demanding industrial applications. The high-conductivity copper construction is enhanced with a tin coating, which significantly improves resistance to oxidation and environmental degradation, ensuring long-term reliability in various operating conditions.

Advantages

The primary benefit of this terminal lies in its robust construction and superior material quality. The use of high-purity copper ensures optimal electrical conductivity, minimizing energy loss at the connection point. The tin plating provides a protective barrier against corrosion, which is essential for maintaining electrical integrity in humid or chemically active environments. Its precise design for M12 studs allows for a firm, vibration-resistant mechanical connection, making it a dependable choice for critical power distribution systems.

Suitable for

• Industrial power distribution panels
• Heavy-duty electrical machinery and equipment
• Infrastructure and utility power cabling
• Professional electrical installations requiring high current capacity

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 an improper fit can lead to overheating or mechanical failure. It is also not suitable for applications requiring non-conductive or specialized alloy materials where copper is chemically incompatible with the surrounding environment.

Key specifications

• Material: Tinned copper
• Cable cross-section: 185 mm²
• Stud size: M12
• Design: Ring terminal

How to use

To install the terminal, strip the insulation from the end of the 185 mm² cable to the appropriate length. Insert the conductor into the barrel of the terminal and use a professional hydraulic crimping tool designed for this specific size to ensure a permanent, gas-tight connection. Once crimped, place the ring end over the M12 stud and secure it firmly with a compatible nut and washer to ensure optimal contact pressure.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your cable cross-section is exactly 185 mm²
• Ensure the mounting surface is compatible with an M12 stud
• Confirm that you have access to a hydraulic crimping tool suitable for this terminal size

Usage recommendations

Always ensure that the crimping process is performed according to industry standards to prevent high-resistance connections. Regularly inspect the connection point for signs of thermal stress or loosening, especially in high-vibration environments.
