Ergom KDR 185/12 Tinned Copper Ring Terminal

The Ergom KDR 185/12 tinned copper ring terminal is a professional-grade component designed to provide secure and efficient electrical terminations. Manufactured from high-quality copper and finished with a tin coating, this terminal is built to maintain optimal electrical conductivity while offering superior protection against oxidation and environmental degradation. Its robust design ensures that it can handle the demands of heavy-duty electrical systems, providing a reliable connection point for large-gauge conductors.

Advantages

The primary advantage of this ring terminal lies in its material composition, which combines the high conductivity of copper with the corrosion-resistant properties of a tin finish. This combination ensures long-term performance even in challenging industrial environments. The precision engineering of the terminal allows for a stable and firm connection to studs, minimizing the risk of contact resistance or overheating. Its durable construction supports consistent power transmission, making it an essential component for maintaining the integrity of electrical circuits.

Suitable for

• Professional electrical installations
• Power distribution systems
• Industrial wiring applications
• Heavy-duty electrical equipment connections

This terminal is not suitable for applications involving conductors with a cross-section significantly different from 185 mm². It is also not intended for use with stud sizes other than 12 mm, as improper sizing can lead to loose connections and potential electrical hazards.

Key specifications

• Conductor cross-section: 185 mm²
• Stud hole diameter: 12 mm
• Material: Tinned copper
• Connection type: Ring terminal

To use the Ergom KDR 185/12, first strip the insulation from the end of the 185 mm² conductor to the appropriate length. Insert the conductor into the barrel of the terminal and use a professional-grade crimping tool designed for this specific size to ensure a permanent mechanical and electrical bond. Once crimped, place the ring over the 12 mm stud and secure it firmly with a nut and washer to ensure optimal contact pressure.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the conductor cross-section is exactly 185 mm²
• Ensure the mounting stud diameter is 12 mm
• Use appropriate industrial crimping tools for installation
• Check environmental conditions to ensure compatibility with tinned copper

For best results, always ensure the crimping tool is calibrated for 185 mm² terminals and that the contact surfaces of the stud are clean and free of debris before installation to maximize electrical efficiency.
