Erko KCS90 Copper Tubular Ring Terminal 90° M10 for 185mm² Cable

The Erko KCS90 is a professional-grade tubular copper ring terminal engineered for secure and efficient electrical terminations. Designed specifically for 185mm² cross-section cables, this terminal features a 90-degree angled orientation, making it an ideal solution for installations where space is constrained or cable routing requires a perpendicular connection to the mounting surface. Constructed from high-conductivity copper, it ensures minimal resistance and long-term reliability in demanding power distribution environments.

Advantages

The primary benefit of the Erko KCS90 lies in its robust tubular construction, which provides a superior contact surface compared to standard terminals. The 90-degree angle design facilitates easier cable management in tight electrical enclosures, reducing mechanical stress on the conductor. Its high-quality copper material offers excellent electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance, ensuring that connections remain stable and efficient over extended periods of operation in professional electrical systems.

Suitable for

• Power distribution cabinets and switchgear
• Industrial electrical installations
• Connection of heavy-duty power cables
• Applications requiring a 90-degree cable entry

This terminal may not be suitable for applications involving cables with cross-sections other than 185mm², as the sizing is precision-engineered for this specific gauge. It is also not intended for use in environments where the mounting bolt size differs from M10, as this would compromise the mechanical integrity and electrical contact of the connection.

Key specifications

• Material: High-conductivity copper
• Cable cross-section: 185mm²
• Mounting hole diameter: M10
• Angle: 90 degrees
• Type: Tubular ring terminal

To use the Erko KCS90, first strip the insulation from the 185mm² cable to the appropriate length. Insert the conductor fully into the tubular barrel of the terminal. Use a professional-grade hydraulic or mechanical crimping tool compatible with tubular copper terminals to perform a secure crimp. Once crimped, align the M10 ring hole with the mounting stud or bolt and secure it firmly using a washer and nut to ensure a low-resistance electrical connection.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the cable cross-section is exactly 185mm²
• Ensure the mounting surface accepts an M10 bolt
• Confirm that the 90-degree angle is appropriate for your specific cable routing
• Ensure you have the correct crimping dies for tubular copper terminals

For optimal performance, always ensure the crimping tool is calibrated and the terminal is clean before installation. Avoid over-tightening the mounting bolt to prevent damage to the terminal or the connection point.
