When it may not be suitable

This terminal is specifically designed for aluminum conductors and may not be suitable for copper cables due to potential galvanic corrosion issues if not used with appropriate transition materials. It is also not intended for high-vibration environments where specialized locking terminals might be required.

Key specifications

• Material: Aluminum
• Conductor cross-section: 16 mm²
• Stud hole diameter: 6 mm
• Type: Ring terminal

How to use

To install the Ergom 2KAM 16/6 terminal, first strip the insulation from the end of the 16 mm² aluminum conductor to the appropriate length. Insert the conductor into the barrel of the terminal. Use a professional crimping tool specifically rated for aluminum terminals to ensure a secure and permanent mechanical bond. Once crimped, the terminal can be fastened to the desired stud using a compatible nut and washer, ensuring the connection is tightened to the manufacturer's recommended torque specifications.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure the conductor size matches the 16 mm² specification exactly
• Verify that the 6 mm stud size is compatible with your existing hardware
• Confirm that your crimping equipment is suitable for aluminum terminals
• Check for compatibility with the base material of the connection point to prevent corrosion

Usage recommendations

Always use a calibrated crimping tool designed for aluminum to ensure the integrity of the connection. Periodically inspect the connection for signs of oxidation or loosening, especially in high-load industrial applications.
