Why Choose the Partex COL50-16/RA Right-Angle Copper Tube Terminal?
The Partex COL50-16/RA is a right-angle copper tube terminal designed to provide a secure electrical connection between a compatible 50 mm² conductor and an M16 stud or bolted terminal. Featuring an angled ring terminal configuration, this copper crimp lug offers a practical cable termination solution for industrial electrical installations, power distribution equipment, control panels and machinery where cable routing and connection orientation are important considerations.
As part of the Partex COL copper tube terminal range, the COL50-16/RA combines conductive copper construction with a tubular crimp barrel and a right-angle ring mounting connection. The tubular barrel accommodates 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. This arrangement can help accommodate equipment layouts, cable entry requirements and restricted installation spaces.
Designed for 50 mm² nominal conductor cross-sections and M16 stud connections, the Partex COL50-16/RA is suitable for electrical assemblies requiring a crimped cable termination with an angled mounting arrangement. Supplied in a convenient pack of 50 terminals, it provides a practical solution for electricians, electrical panel builders, OEM equipment manufacturers and industrial maintenance engineers undertaking installation, production and cable termination projects.

Reliable Right-Angle Cable Termination for Industrial Power Distribution
Right-angle copper tube terminals are useful in electrical installations where equipment arrangement, available space or cable entry direction requires an alternative to a straight cable lug. The Partex COL50-16/RA provides a practical method of terminating a compatible 50 mm² conductor onto an M16 stud using an angled ring connection. This configuration can help accommodate cable positioning in electrical distribution equipment, industrial machinery, switchgear and control cabinets where the orientation of a bolted electrical connection is important.
Correct terminal selection and installation are essential for a dependable 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 M16 stud using compatible fastening hardware and the equipment manufacturer's specified tightening torque. The terminal, conductor, stud, contact surface and fastening arrangement must all be verified for the intended electrical current and mechanical loading. Suitable electrical clearance, insulation, cable support, strain relief and bend radius must also be provided. The nominal conductor cross-section and stud size do not independently establish the current rating of the completed connection.
Typical Applications
- Industrial electrical power distribution assemblies.
- Electrical switchgear and control panel manufacturing.
- Busbar connection points incorporating compatible M16 studs.
- 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.
- Custom electrical cable assemblies using compatible 50 mm² conductors.
- Electrical maintenance and cable replacement projects.
- Bolted equipment connections where the terminal and contact arrangement have been verified as suitable.
- Electrical installations requiring a 50 mm² crimp barrel and M16 right-angle ring mounting connection.
