Cable lug Klauke 85V8 V2A pipe-type ring terminal for 35 mm² cable, ring M8

Klauke 85V8 V2A pipe-type ring terminal for 35 mm² cable, ring M8 is a stainless-steel cable lug engineered to provide a corrosion-resistant, mechanically robust connection for electrical conductors. Designed for 35 mm² conductors, this pipe-style terminal accepts the conductor by crimping or soldering and secures to equipment or busbars with an M8 bolt. The V2A stainless material ensures long-term durability in environments where moisture, oxidation or mild chemicals are present, while the ring shape provides a reliable bolted contact point for power and grounding applications.

Advantages

The stainless-steel construction offers enhanced corrosion resistance compared with standard copper or tin-plated lugs, extending service life in demanding conditions. The pipe-type design facilitates a secure crimp or solder joint with a full conductor insertion, promoting low contact resistance and stable electrical performance. The M8 ring termination provides compatibility with commonly used bolts and studs, enabling straightforward mechanical fastening and good clamping force for consistent electrical contact.

Suitable for

• Power and grounding connections in industrial switchgear and distribution panels
• Automotive and vehicle electrical systems exposed to moisture or road salts
• Marine and offshore equipment where stainless materials are preferred
• Renewable energy installations such as inverters and battery systems

Key specifications

• Conductor cross-section: suitable for 35 mm² cable
• Material: V2A stainless steel (corrosion-resistant grade)
• Terminal style: pipe-type (tubular) for crimping or soldering
• Ring internal diameter: sized for M8 bolt fastening
• Termination type: ring terminal for bolted connections

How to use

Prepare the 35 mm² conductor by stripping insulation to expose the correct length of conductor for full insertion into the pipe. Insert the conductor fully into the tubular section of the lug, ensuring strands are contained. Create the electrical and mechanical joint by applying the appropriate crimping tool or by soldering according to installed practice and safety standards. Align the ring over the M8 stud or bolt and tighten the fastener to the recommended torque for the application to ensure secure mechanical and electrical contact.

Usage recommendations

Use a calibrated crimping tool sized for 35 mm² terminals or a qualified soldering process to achieve low-resistance joints. Select stainless-compatible washers and bolts for installations requiring corrosion resistance. Verify bolt torque and inspect crimp quality or solder fillet during regular maintenance to maintain reliable connections.
