Ergom aluminum ring terminal 2KAM 240/16 (E12KA-01050104700) — crimp ring connector for 16 mm² cable

Ergom aluminum ring terminal 2KAM 240/16 is a crimp-style ring connector designed for secure electrical terminations on 16 mm² conductors. Manufactured from aluminum, this ring lug provides reliable electrical conductivity and resistance to atmospheric corrosion. It creates a fixed bolted connection point for cables to busbars, studs or grounding points and is suitable for use in environments where a compact, mechanically stable terminal is required.

Advantages

The aluminum construction ensures good conductivity while keeping weight low compared with copper alternatives. The crimp-style barrel offers a dependable mechanical and electrical connection when properly installed with a compatible crimping tool. Its ring-shaped terminal enables secure bolted attachment to studs and busbars, minimising the risk of loosening under vibration. The product's simple design and corrosion-resistant material make it practical for long-term installations.

Suitable for

• Electrical panels and busbar connections
• Grounding and earthing points
• Industrial machinery wiring and control cabinets
• Automotive and vehicle electrical systems requiring ring lugs

Key specifications

• Conductor cross-section: 16 mm²
• Terminal material: aluminum
• Terminal style: crimp ring
• Inner diameter of ring suitable for bolted connections to standard studs and busbars
• Designed for mechanical bolted fastening for reliable electrical contact

How to use

Strip the cable insulation to the correct length for the terminal barrel, insert the conductor fully into the crimp barrel, and crimp using a suitable crimping tool sized for 16 mm² aluminum terminals. After crimping, place the ring over the stud or bolt and secure with an appropriate nut and washer, ensuring a firm mechanical connection. Verify that the crimped joint and bolted connection are tight and free of debris or oxidation before applying electrical load.

Usage recommendations

Use a crimping tool rated for aluminum terminals and 16 mm² conductor size; where exposed to harsh environments, consider additional protective coatings or insulating covers to reduce corrosion risk and avoid dissimilar metal contact without appropriate anti-oxidant treatment.
