Ergom KDR 240/12 Tinned Copper Ring Terminal

The Ergom KDR 240/12 tinned copper ring terminal is a professional-grade electrical component designed to provide secure and efficient connections for heavy-duty power applications. Crafted from high-quality copper and finished with a protective tin coating, this terminal is specifically engineered to handle large cable cross-sections while maintaining optimal electrical conductivity and long-term reliability in demanding environments.

Advantages

The primary advantage of this terminal lies in its robust construction, which ensures minimal contact resistance and superior mechanical strength. The tinned surface provides an essential layer of protection against oxidation and corrosion, making it suitable for use in environments where moisture or chemical exposure might otherwise degrade standard copper connections. Its precise design ensures a stable fit on 12 mm studs, facilitating consistent performance in critical power distribution systems.

Suitable for

• Industrial power distribution systems
• Heavy-duty electrical installations
• Large-scale wiring projects
• Electrical panels and switchgear

When it may not be suitable

This terminal is not intended for use with cables that do not match the 240 mm² cross-section specification, as an improper fit can lead to overheating or connection failure. It is also not suitable for applications requiring non-conductive or insulated materials.

Key specifications

• Material: Tinned copper
• Cable cross-section: 240 mm²
• Stud hole diameter: 12 mm
• Type: Ring terminal

How to use

To install the terminal, first strip the insulation from the end of the 240 mm² cable to the appropriate length. Insert the conductor fully into the barrel of the terminal. Use a professional-grade hydraulic crimping tool calibrated for this specific terminal size to ensure a permanent, gas-tight connection. Once crimped, secure the ring end onto the 12 mm stud using a compatible nut and washer, ensuring the connection is tightened to the manufacturer's recommended torque specifications.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your cable cross-section is exactly 240 mm²
• Ensure the mounting stud diameter is 12 mm
• Confirm that you have access to a hydraulic crimping tool suitable for this terminal size

Usage recommendations

Always inspect the crimped connection for any signs of loose strands or deformation before finalizing the installation to ensure maximum safety and electrical efficiency.
