Erko KCS90 Copper Tubular Ring Terminal 90° 12mm Hole 95mm²

The Erko KCS90 copper tubular ring terminal is a professional-grade electrical component engineered for secure and efficient cable terminations. Designed with a 90-degree angle, this terminal facilitates cable routing in confined spaces where a straight connection is not feasible. It is specifically manufactured for 95mm² conductors and features a 12mm mounting hole, ensuring a precise fit for standard industrial bolts and studs. Constructed from high-conductivity copper, the terminal provides excellent electrical performance and long-term reliability in demanding environments.

Advantages

The primary advantage of the Erko KCS90 is its robust tubular construction, which ensures low contact resistance and high mechanical strength. The 90-degree bend allows for optimized cable management in electrical panels and switchgear, reducing strain on the conductor and preventing sharp bends that could compromise the connection. Its high-quality copper material is resistant to corrosion and oxidation, maintaining stable electrical conductivity over time. The design is optimized for professional crimping, ensuring a permanent and vibration-resistant connection that meets rigorous industrial standards.

Suitable for

• Industrial power distribution systems
• Switchgear and control panel wiring
• Heavy-duty electrical machinery
• Commercial electrical installations requiring angled terminations

When it may not be suitable

This terminal is not suitable for conductors with a cross-section other than 95mm², as an improper fit will result in a poor electrical connection and potential overheating. It is also not intended for use with non-copper conductors, as galvanic corrosion may occur when connecting dissimilar metals.

Key specifications

• Material: High-conductivity copper
• Conductor cross-section: 95mm²
• Mounting hole diameter: 12mm
• Angle: 90 degrees
• Type: Tubular ring terminal

How to use

To install the Erko KCS90, first strip the insulation from the end of the 95mm² cable to the appropriate length required by the terminal barrel. Insert the conductor fully into the tubular section of the terminal. Using a professional hydraulic or manual crimping tool compatible with tubular terminals, apply the correct pressure to the barrel to create a cold-welded connection. Once crimped, secure the ring end to the desired contact point using a 12mm bolt or stud, ensuring the connection is tightened to the manufacturer's specified torque.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the conductor cross-section matches the 95mm² requirement
• Ensure the 12mm mounting hole is compatible with your existing hardware
• Confirm that the 90-degree angle is necessary for your specific cable routing
• Use appropriate crimping tools to ensure a secure and safe installation

Usage recommendations

Always ensure that the crimping tool is calibrated for the specific size of the terminal to prevent under-crimping or over-crimping, which can lead to connection failure or cable damage.
