Why Choose the Partex PXL120-12 Copper Tube Ring Terminal?
The Partex PXL120-12 is a heavy-duty copper tube ring terminal designed for secure electrical termination of large cross-section copper conductors. Suitable for 120 mm² copper cables and featuring an M12 stud connection, this crimp cable lug provides a practical solution for industrial power distribution systems, electrical switchgear, distribution panels and heavy-duty electrical equipment.
As part of the Partex PXL copper tube terminal range, the PXL120-12 combines a tubular conductor barrel with a closed-ring mounting palm. The barrel is designed to receive a correctly prepared copper conductor and form a secure mechanical and electrical connection when compressed using compatible crimping equipment. The ring-shaped palm allows the completed cable termination to be fastened to an appropriately sized stud or bolted connection point.
Supplied in a convenient pack of 20 terminals, the Partex PXL120-12 is suitable for electrical contractors, industrial maintenance engineers, panel builders and equipment manufacturers working with larger power cables. Its combination of 120 mm² conductor compatibility and an M12 mounting hole makes it a useful component for professional installations requiring secure, repeatable cable terminations.

Secure Crimp Termination for Large Copper Power Cables
Copper tube ring terminals are commonly used to connect large electrical conductors to distribution equipment, busbars, switchgear and other bolted electrical connection points. A correctly prepared conductor is inserted into the terminal barrel and compressed using a compatible crimping tool and die. This process forms a secure conductor-to-terminal connection that provides mechanical retention and effective electrical contact when properly installed.
The Partex PXL120-12 is intended for 120 mm² copper conductors requiring an M12 mounting connection. The ring-shaped palm helps maintain the connection to the equipment stud while the mounting hardware remains secured. This configuration is particularly useful for industrial power distribution assemblies and electrical equipment where larger conductors must be terminated securely.
Correct installation requires confirmation of the conductor construction, terminal barrel compatibility and specified crimping method. The conductor should be stripped to the appropriate length, inserted fully into the barrel and compressed using suitable tooling. The completed termination must be checked for mechanical security, with the bolted connection tightened according to the equipment manufacturer's requirements. Any necessary insulation, terminal covers or protective sleeving should be fitted, and the current-carrying suitability of the complete connection should be verified for the application.
