Ergom KDM 35/8 Ring Terminal

The Ergom KDM 35/8 ring terminal is a professional-grade electrical connector engineered for secure and efficient cable termination. Designed specifically for conductors with a cross-section of 35 mm², this terminal features an 8 mm stud hole, providing a robust connection point for various electrical systems. Its construction focuses on high conductivity and mechanical stability, ensuring reliable performance in demanding environments.

Advantages

This ring terminal offers exceptional durability due to its high-quality material composition, which minimizes resistance and prevents overheating during operation. The design facilitates a firm grip on the conductor, ensuring that the electrical contact remains stable even under vibration or thermal expansion. Its standardized dimensions allow for seamless integration into existing electrical panels and industrial equipment, simplifying the installation process for professionals.

Suitable for

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

When it may not be suitable

This terminal is not intended for use with conductors that deviate from the specified 35 mm² cross-section, as improper sizing can lead to loose connections and potential electrical hazards. It is also not suitable for applications requiring specialized insulation materials if the environment involves extreme chemical exposure or high-temperature conditions beyond standard industrial ratings.

Key specifications

• Conductor cross-section: 35 mm²
• Stud hole diameter: 8 mm
• Material: High-conductivity copper alloy
• Connection type: Ring terminal

How to use

To use the Ergom KDM 35/8 ring terminal, first strip the insulation from the end of the 35 mm² cable to the appropriate length. Insert the conductor into the barrel of the terminal, ensuring that all strands are fully contained. Use a professional-grade crimping tool specifically calibrated for this terminal size to create a permanent, gas-tight connection. Once crimped, secure the terminal to the desired contact point using an 8 mm bolt or stud, ensuring the nut is tightened to the manufacturer's recommended torque specifications.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your cable cross-section is exactly 35 mm².
• Ensure the mounting stud or bolt diameter matches the 8 mm hole.
• Confirm that you have access to a compatible heavy-duty crimping tool.
• Check the environmental conditions of the installation site.

Usage recommendations

Always perform a pull test after crimping to ensure the connection is mechanically sound. Regularly inspect the connection point for signs of oxidation or heat damage in high-load applications.
