Partex COL16-8/RA right-angle copper tube ring terminal for terminating 16 mm² copper conductors onto M8 stud connections in electrical panels and industrial installations, supplied in a pack of 100.
£60.42
The Partex COL16-8/RA is a durable and reliable right-angle copper tube terminal designed for secure electrical connections in industrial wiring, power distribution and electrical control panel applications. Manufactured for use with 16 mm² copper conductors, this terminal features an M8 stud connection and a right-angle configuration that supports practical cable termination where installation space or cable routing requires a change in direction.
As part of the Partex copper tube terminal range, the COL16-8/RA provides a practical solution for terminating suitable stranded copper cables onto compatible studs and bolted electrical connections. Its copper construction supports effective electrical conductivity, while the angled terminal design helps installers achieve neat, organised and mechanically secure connections in confined electrical assemblies.
With a 16 mm² conductor capacity, an M8 ring connection and a convenient pack quantity of 100 terminals, the Partex COL16-8/RA is suitable for professional electricians, panel builders, electrical contractors and industrial maintenance teams requiring dependable cable termination components for repetitive installation and assembly work.
Copper tube terminals are widely used in electrical installations to provide secure connections between stranded copper conductors and equipment terminals. By crimping the terminal barrel onto a correctly prepared conductor, installers can create a mechanically robust electrical termination that supports reliable current transfer when properly selected and installed.
The Partex COL16-8/RA incorporates a right-angle connection arrangement, making it particularly useful where a straight terminal could introduce excessive cable bending or interfere with adjacent components. The angled design helps maintain practical cable routing within distribution assemblies, switchgear compartments and industrial control panels.
For dependable performance, the terminal should be installed using a suitable crimping tool and die matched to the terminal and conductor. The cable should be correctly stripped and fully inserted into the barrel before crimping. The completed ring connection should be secured to a compatible M8 stud using the equipment manufacturer's recommended fastening method and tightening torque. The suitability of the complete connection for the intended electrical load and operating environment should also be verified.

The Partex COL16-8/RA is used to terminate 16 mm² copper conductors onto compatible M8 stud connections in electrical panels, switchgear, machinery and industrial wiring installations.
The terminal is designed for a nominal conductor cross-sectional area of 16 mm² and is intended for suitable stranded copper cables.
The terminal features an M8 stud connection, allowing it to be secured to compatible M8 threaded connection points.
A right-angle terminal allows the cable to approach the connection point at an angle, helping simplify cable routing and reduce unnecessary bending in installations where space is limited.
The terminal should be crimped onto a correctly prepared 16 mm² copper conductor using compatible crimping equipment. The ring connection is then secured to an appropriate M8 stud according to the equipment manufacturer's installation requirements.
The Partex COL16-8/RA is supplied in a pack of 100 terminals, making it suitable for panel-building, maintenance and production applications.
Partex copper tube terminals provide practical cable termination solutions for electrical installers, panel builders and industrial maintenance professionals. The COL16-8/RA combines conductive copper construction, an M8 ring connection and a right-angle design to support secure, organised electrical installations.
