Ergom K45R 16/8 45° Angled Ring Terminal

The Ergom K45R 16/8 is a high-quality 45-degree angled ring terminal engineered for secure and reliable electrical connections. Designed specifically for cables with a 16 mm² cross-section, this terminal features an 8 mm stud hole, making it an essential component for professional electrical installations and industrial wiring projects where space is limited and precision is required.

Advantages

The primary benefit of the Ergom K45R 16/8 is its specialized 45-degree angled geometry, which allows for efficient cable management in confined enclosures or panels where a straight terminal would be impractical. Constructed from high-grade conductive materials, it ensures low contact resistance and long-term durability. The robust design provides a stable mechanical connection that withstands vibrations and thermal expansion, maintaining consistent electrical performance over time.

Suitable for

• Industrial control panels and switchgear
• Power distribution systems
• Automotive and heavy machinery wiring
• Electrical maintenance and repair projects

When it may not be suitable

This terminal is not suitable for cables with cross-sections other than 16 mm² or for mounting studs that do not match the 8 mm diameter requirement. It should not be used in environments where the material composition is incompatible with the terminal's plating or in high-corrosion areas without appropriate protective measures.

Key specifications

• Cable cross-section: 16 mm²
• Stud hole diameter: 8 mm
• Angle: 45 degrees
• Terminal type: Ring terminal

How to use

To install the Ergom K45R 16/8, first strip the insulation from the end of the 16 mm² cable to the appropriate length. Insert the conductor into the barrel of the terminal. Use a professional crimping tool specifically calibrated for this terminal size to ensure a gas-tight connection. Once crimped, place the ring over the 8 mm stud and secure it firmly with a nut or bolt to ensure optimal electrical contact.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the cable cross-section matches 16 mm²
• Ensure the mounting stud diameter is exactly 8 mm
• Check the available space to confirm the 45-degree angle is appropriate for your cable routing
• Ensure you have the correct crimping tool for this specific terminal type

Usage recommendations

For the most reliable connection, always use a calibrated crimping tool and ensure the cable is clean and free of oxidation before insertion. Avoid over-tightening the mounting nut to prevent mechanical stress on the terminal.
