Why Choose the Partex COL16-12/RA Right-Angle Copper Tube Terminal?
The Partex COL16-12/RA is a right-angle copper tube terminal designed to provide a secure electrical connection between a compatible 16 mm² conductor and an M12 stud or bolted terminal. Featuring an angled ring terminal configuration, this copper crimp lug offers a practical cable termination solution for industrial electrical installations, distribution equipment, control panels and machinery where connection orientation and cable routing are important considerations.
As part of the Partex COL copper tube terminal range, the COL16-12/RA combines conductive copper construction with a tubular crimp barrel and a right-angle ring connection. The tubular barrel receives the electrical conductor for crimp termination, while the angled mounting end allows the cable to approach the bolted connection from a different direction compared with a conventional straight ring terminal.
Designed for 16 mm² nominal conductor cross-sections and M12 stud connections, the Partex COL16-12/RA is suitable for electrical assemblies requiring a reliable crimped cable termination with an angled connection arrangement. Supplied in a convenient pack of 100 terminals, it provides a practical solution for electricians, electrical panel builders, OEM equipment manufacturers and industrial maintenance engineers undertaking production, installation and cable termination projects.

Reliable Right-Angle Cable Termination for Industrial Electrical Installations
Right-angle copper tube terminals are useful in electrical installations where the available space, equipment arrangement or cable entry direction requires an alternative to a straight cable lug. The Partex COL16-12/RA provides a practical method of terminating a compatible 16 mm² conductor onto an M12 stud using a right-angle connection arrangement. This configuration can help accommodate cable positioning in electrical distribution equipment, control cabinets, machinery assemblies and other installations where the orientation of a bolted electrical connection is important.
Correct conductor preparation, crimping and fastening are essential to achieving a reliable electrical connection. The conductor should be stripped to the appropriate length, inserted into the copper tube barrel and crimped using a tool and die suitable for the terminal and conductor combination. The ring connection should then be secured to the M12 stud using compatible fastening hardware and the equipment manufacturer's specified tightening torque. The completed installation must provide suitable electrical clearances, cable support and bend radius, with the terminal selected according to the applicable conductor, current-carrying and environmental requirements.
Typical Applications
- Industrial electrical control panels and switchgear assemblies.
- Electrical distribution equipment with compatible M12 bolted connections.
- Busbar connection points requiring angled cable termination.
- Motor control equipment and industrial machinery wiring.
- Electrical cabinets with restricted cable routing space.
- OEM electrical equipment manufacturing and assembly.
- Industrial automation and electrical distribution systems.
- Equipment installations requiring right-angle cable entry.
- Electrical maintenance and cable replacement projects.
- Industrial power and control wiring using compatible 16 mm² conductors.
- Electrical assemblies where an M12 stud connection and angled terminal orientation are required.
