Aluminium ring terminal Ergom E12KA-01050101000 2KAM 35/10

Ergom aluminium ring terminal E12KA-01050101000 (2KAM 35/10) is a crimp-type electrical connector designed to form a secure ring lug on aluminium or tinned conductors. The terminal provides a mechanical and electrical connection point for bolted power and grounding joints where a ring-shaped termination is required. Its construction suits installation in electrical panels, junction boxes and industrial wiring assemblies that call for a 35/10 configuration.

Advantages

The aluminium construction offers low contact resistance for aluminium conductor systems and reduces galvanic issues when used with compatible materials. The crimpable barrel ensures a reliable mechanical hold after proper crimping, and the ring shape provides a stable bolted connection that resists loosening under vibration. The compact design allows use in confined terminal areas and standard mounting bolt sizes.

Suitable for

• Crimped terminations of aluminium or tinned aluminium conductors
• Power distribution busbars and grounding connections
• Electrical panels, control cabinets and industrial switchgear
• Situations requiring a ring lug for bolted connections

When it may not be suitable

This ring terminal is intended for use with aluminium conductors and compatible hardware; it may not be appropriate where copper conductors are specified unless dielectric isolation or appropriate bi-metallic considerations are applied. It is not a replacement for soldered or specialised compression joints where specific standards or approvals require different connection methods.

Key specifications

• Material: aluminium
• Terminal type: ring (crimp-style)
• Conductor cross-section compatibility: designed for 35 mm² conductors
• Stud/hole size compatibility: 10 mm
• Intended use: power and grounding terminations

How to use

Strip the conductor to the appropriate length to expose the aluminium core, insert the conductor fully into the terminal barrel and perform a crimp using a correct-sized crimping tool and die for aluminium ring terminals. After crimping, inspect the crimp for mechanical integrity and, where required, apply an anti-oxidation compound on aluminium joints. Mount the ring terminal onto the mating stud or bolt and secure with the correct torque for the application and bolt size. Follow local electrical codes and safety practices during installation.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm conductor type and cross-section match (aluminium 35 mm²)
• Verify stud or bolt diameter compatibility (10 mm)
• Ensure appropriate crimping tools and dies for aluminium terminals are available
• Check whether anti-oxidation treatment or specific installation standards are required

Usage recommendations

Use only recommended crimping tools for aluminium terminals and follow torque specifications for bolted connections. For long-term reliability of aluminium joints, consider anti-oxidation protection and periodic inspection in outdoor or corrosive environments.
