Ergom KDR 240/16 Tinned Copper Ring Terminal

The Ergom KDR 240/16 is a professional-grade tinned copper ring terminal engineered for high-performance electrical connections. Designed specifically for conductors with a cross-section of 240 mm², this terminal provides a robust and reliable interface for power distribution and industrial wiring systems. The high-purity copper construction ensures optimal electrical conductivity, while the tin plating offers superior protection against oxidation and environmental corrosion, making it a dependable choice for demanding electrical environments.

Advantages

This ring terminal stands out due to its exceptional material quality and precise manufacturing standards. The tin coating significantly extends the service life of the connection by preventing corrosion, even in challenging conditions. Its design facilitates a secure mechanical and electrical bond, minimizing resistance and heat generation at the connection point. The sturdy construction ensures that the terminal maintains its integrity under mechanical stress, providing long-term stability for critical electrical infrastructure.

Suitable for

• Power distribution cabinets and switchgear
• Industrial machinery and heavy-duty electrical equipment
• Large-scale electrical infrastructure projects
• Grounding and earthing connections
• High-current electrical installations

When it may not be suitable

This terminal is not intended for use with conductors that do not match the specified 240 mm² cross-section, as improper sizing can lead to loose connections and overheating. It is also not suitable for applications requiring specialized insulation materials or specific environmental sealing beyond standard industrial requirements.

Key specifications

• Material: Tinned copper
• Conductor cross-section: 240 mm²
• Stud hole diameter: 16 mm
• Connection type: Ring terminal

How to use

To install the Ergom KDR 240/16, first strip the insulation from the end of the 240 mm² conductor to the appropriate length. Insert the conductor fully into the barrel of the terminal. Use a professional-grade hydraulic crimping tool compatible with this terminal size to ensure a secure and permanent mechanical bond. Once crimped, the terminal can be fastened to the desired stud using a 16 mm bolt, ensuring that the connection is tightened to the manufacturer's recommended torque specifications.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your conductor cross-section is exactly 240 mm²
• Ensure the mounting stud diameter matches the 16 mm hole size
• Confirm that you have access to a hydraulic crimping tool suitable for this terminal size
• Check the environmental conditions to ensure tinned copper is appropriate for your specific application

Usage recommendations

Always use a calibrated hydraulic crimping tool to ensure the integrity of the connection. Avoid using manual pliers, as they cannot provide the necessary force for a 240 mm² conductor. Regularly inspect connections in high-vibration environments to ensure that the bolt remains tight.
