Crimp ring terminal Erko KCS_10-16/50 copper tubular eye terminals 10–16 mm², pack of 50

Erko KCS_10-16/50 copper tubular ring terminals are crimp-style electrical connectors designed for conductors with cross-sections from 10 to 16 mm². Supplied in a pack of 50, each terminal features a tubular copper body and a ring (eye) end that allows secure bolted or screw connections to posts, busbars and grounding points. These ring terminals are intended for reliable electrical contact in automotive, industrial and building electrical installations where a mechanical fastened connection is required.

Advantages

Copper construction ensures good electrical conductivity and improved corrosion resistance compared with plain steel terminals. The tubular design accommodates solid and stranded conductors and provides a firm crimp area for standard crimping tools. The ring end allows stable, low-resistance bolted connections and reduces the risk of conductor pull-out when properly crimped and mounted.

Suitable for

• Automotive battery and grounding connections
• Industrial control panels and machine wiring
• Building electrical circuits and grounding systems
• Solar installations and power distribution terminals

Key specifications

• Conductor cross-section: 10–16 mm²
• Material: copper tubular body
• Connection type: ring (eye) for bolted or screw termination
• Pack quantity: 50 pieces
• Suitable for crimping with standard insulated or non-insulated crimping tools sized for 10–16 mm²

How to use

Strip the conductor insulation to the appropriate length, insert the bare conductor fully into the tubular section of the ring terminal, and position the terminal to allow correct orientation of the ring for mounting. Use a suitable crimping tool matched to the 10–16 mm² range to apply a firm, even crimp; multiple crimps or a single factory-set crimp jaw are acceptable depending on the tool. After crimping, attach the ring end to the terminal post or stud and tighten the fastener to the manufacturer’s torque specification for the connection.

Usage recommendations

Verify conductor size and insulation strip length before crimping. For vibration-prone or high-current applications, inspect crimps and consider using additional strain relief or locking hardware. Avoid overheating the terminals during installation and use appropriate torque on bolted connections to maintain a reliable, low-resistance joint.
