Ergom aluminum loop terminal 2KAM 185/12 E12KA-01050104000 for cable end ferrule

Ergom aluminum loop terminal 2KAM 185/12 is a ring-style cable end ferrule designed to provide a reliable mechanical and electrical connection for aluminum conductors. The terminal accepts stranded or solid cable ends and secures them under a screw or bolt, creating a stable termination for use in electrical panels, grounding circuits, and equipment wiring where aluminum terminals are specified.

Advantages

The aluminum construction delivers a lightweight solution with good conductivity for aluminum conductor systems. The loop (ring) shape ensures positive retention under a bolt or stud, reducing the risk of loosening. The design facilitates consistent crimping and straightforward installation, supporting repeatable electrical contact and mechanical strength when properly applied.

Suitable for

• Panel wiring and terminal blocks where ring terminals are required
• Protective grounding and earthing connections
• Equipment and machinery wiring with aluminum conductors
• Applications requiring secure bolt or stud terminations

Key specifications

• Material: aluminum
• Terminal type: ring (loop) ferrule
• Conductor accommodation: designed for aluminum stranded or solid conductors
• Mounting: suitable for bolt or stud fastening
• Size designation: corresponds to 185/12 dimensional class

How to use

Strip the conductor to the appropriate length so that the bare conductor fully fills the ferrule barrel. Insert the conductor into the ferrule until it seats against the shoulder, then crimp using a suitable crimping tool matched to the terminal size and aluminum material. Place the ring over the bolt or stud and tighten the fastening to the torque recommended for aluminum terminals and the specific bolt grade. Ensure secure mechanical contact and verify electrical continuity after installation.

Usage recommendations

Use tooling specified for aluminum ferrules to obtain proper compressive force and avoid damage to the conductor. Apply anti-oxidation compound where required by local practice for aluminum connections, and follow torque specifications for bolted joints to maintain reliable electrical contact and long-term performance.
