Erko KLR 35-16 Copper Reducing Connector

The Erko KLR 35-16 copper reducing connector is a professional-grade component engineered for seamless transitions between electrical conductors of varying sizes. Specifically designed to bridge a 35 mm² cable to a 16 mm² cable, this connector ensures a stable and highly conductive link within electrical power distribution systems. Its robust construction provides long-term reliability in demanding industrial and commercial environments where secure electrical continuity is essential.

Advantages

This reducing connector offers exceptional electrical performance due to its high-quality copper composition, which minimizes resistance and prevents overheating at the connection point. The design facilitates a precise mechanical and electrical transition between different cable cross-sections, simplifying complex wiring tasks. Its durable build quality ensures resistance to mechanical stress and environmental factors, making it a dependable choice for critical infrastructure and professional electrical installations.

Suitable for

• Connecting power cables with different cross-sections in industrial switchgear.
• Electrical distribution panels requiring size transitions.
• Commercial building power supply systems.
• Professional electrical maintenance and infrastructure upgrades.

When it may not be suitable

This connector is not intended for use with aluminum conductors, as it is specifically manufactured for copper-to-copper connections. Using it with incompatible materials may lead to galvanic corrosion and connection failure.

It is also not suitable for high-vibration environments unless additional strain relief measures are implemented, nor should it be used in applications exceeding its rated electrical and thermal capacity.

Key specifications

• Material: High-conductivity copper
• Primary conductor capacity: 35 mm²
• Secondary conductor capacity: 16 mm²
• Application: Reducing connection for copper cables

How to use

To use the Erko KLR 35-16, first strip the insulation from both the 35 mm² and 16 mm² copper cables to the appropriate length required for the connector. Insert the conductors into their respective ends of the reducing connector. Use a professional-grade crimping tool compatible with the connector size to ensure a secure, permanent mechanical bond. Verify that the connection is tight and that no loose strands are visible before applying heat-shrink tubing or electrical tape to insulate the exposed area.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure the cable cross-sections match the 35 mm² and 16 mm² specifications exactly.
• Verify that the installation environment is compatible with copper connectors.
• Confirm you have the correct crimping tool for this specific connector type.

Usage recommendations

Always ensure that the crimping process is performed according to standard electrical safety protocols. Regularly inspect connections in high-load systems to ensure long-term integrity and safety.
