Ring terminal Ergom E12KA-01050103000 aluminium 2KAM 120/10 for crimping

Ergom ring terminal E12KA-01050103000 is an aluminium 2KAM 120/10 crimp terminal designed to create reliable ring connections on aluminium conductors. The terminal provides a durable bolted or stud connection point for cables in electrical installations where aluminium terminations are required. Its construction is suitable for use with standard crimping tools and compatible terminal blocks, offering a compact solution for fixed, mechanical electrical joints.

Advantages

The aluminium construction ensures good compatibility with aluminium conductors and reduces the risk of galvanic corrosion when used with compatible materials. The ring shape provides a secure mechanical connection for bolts and studs, allowing stable electrical contact in fixed installations. The terminal is engineered for crimping, enabling consistent mechanical compression when used with appropriate crimping dies and tools. Its dimensions and form factor make it suitable for confined spaces while maintaining reliable conductivity and mechanical strength.

Suitable for

• Electrical installations requiring aluminium terminations
• Bolted or stud connections in panels and junction boxes
• Crimped connections on aluminium conductors
• Applications where space is limited and a compact ring terminal is needed

When it may not be suitable

This aluminium ring terminal is not intended for direct connection to dissimilar metals without appropriate anti-corrosion measures, as galvanic corrosion may occur when aluminium contacts copper or other metals. It is also not suitable for applications requiring removable or quick-disconnect connections; the design is intended for permanent or semi-permanent bolted joints. For very high-current applications beyond the terminal's rated cross-section, a larger or specially rated connector should be selected.

Key specifications

• Material: aluminium
• Type: ring terminal (crimp)
• Series/type designation: 2KAM 120/10
• Intended conductor: aluminium conductors of corresponding cross-section
• Connection method: crimped onto conductor; bolted/stud connection at ring
• Suitable for use with standard crimping dies and compatible terminal blocks

How to use

Strip the conductor insulation to the appropriate length for the terminal barrel. Insert the aluminium conductor fully into the terminal barrel, ensuring no stray strands are left outside. Use a crimping tool with the correct die for 2KAM 120/10 terminals to perform a firm, consistent crimp. After crimping, position the ring over the bolt or stud and secure with an appropriate nut and washer, applying the correct torque for the conductor size and connection specification. If connecting to dissimilar metals, apply an approved anti-oxidation compound or use a bimetallic adapter according to installation standards.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm compatibility with aluminium conductors of the intended cross-section
• Ensure availability of correct crimping dies and tools for 2KAM 120/10 terminals
• Verify whether anti-corrosion measures or bimetallic adapters are required for dissimilar metal connections
• Check space and bolt/stud dimensions where the ring terminal will be mounted

Usage recommendations

Use the terminal with properly sized crimping dies and follow torque specifications for bolted connections. For mixed-metal terminations, use approved anti-oxidation compounds or bimetallic transition connectors to minimize corrosion risk and maintain electrical reliability.
