Ergom KDR 70/12mm Tinned Copper Ring Terminal

The Ergom KDR 70/12mm tinned copper ring terminal is a professional-grade component engineered for secure and efficient electrical terminations. Designed to accommodate cables with a 70 mm² cross-section, this terminal features a robust construction that ensures optimal electrical conductivity and long-term reliability in demanding environments. The tin-plated surface provides superior protection against oxidation and corrosion, making it an essential choice for high-current applications where connection integrity is critical.

Advantages

This ring terminal offers exceptional mechanical strength and electrical performance due to its high-quality copper base material. The precision-engineered 12 mm stud hole allows for a perfect fit on standard mounting bolts, minimizing contact resistance and preventing overheating. Its durable design supports heavy-duty electrical systems, ensuring that power distribution remains stable and safe over extended periods of operation. The tin coating further enhances the longevity of the connection, even in environments exposed to moisture or varying temperatures.

Suitable for

• Power distribution panels and switchgear
• Industrial grounding systems
• Heavy-duty cable terminations
• Electrical infrastructure projects
• Automotive and marine power wiring

When it may not be suitable

This terminal is not intended for use with cables that do not match the 70 mm² cross-section requirement, as improper sizing can lead to loose connections and potential fire hazards. It is also not suitable for applications requiring non-conductive or insulated materials, as the exposed metal surface requires proper insulation or enclosure to prevent accidental short circuits.

Key specifications

• Material: Tinned copper
• Cable cross-section: 70 mm²
• Stud hole diameter: 12 mm
• Type: Ring terminal

How to use

To install the Ergom KDR 70/12mm terminal, first strip the insulation from the end of the 70 mm² cable to the appropriate length. Insert the conductor into the barrel of the terminal and use a professional-grade hydraulic or mechanical crimping tool calibrated for this specific size to ensure a gas-tight connection. Once crimped, place the ring terminal over the corresponding 12 mm stud and secure it firmly with a nut and washer to ensure maximum surface contact.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your cable cross-section is exactly 70 mm²
• Ensure the mounting stud diameter is 12 mm
• Use appropriate crimping tools for high-gauge copper terminals
• Check if additional heat-shrink tubing is required for insulation

Usage recommendations

Always ensure that the crimping tool is compatible with the terminal size to achieve a secure mechanical bond. Regularly inspect connections in high-vibration environments to ensure that the mounting hardware remains tight and free from oxidation.
