Secure 120 mm² Cable Terminations for M16 Stud Connections
The Partex PXL120-16 M16 copper tube ring terminal provides a straightforward method of connecting a 120 mm² copper conductor to compatible stud-mounted electrical equipment. The prepared conductor is inserted into the tubular barrel and crimped using a tool and die suitable for the terminal design, conductor size and strand construction. When correctly installed, the crimped barrel provides mechanical conductor retention and an electrical connection between the cable and the terminal. The closed-ring palm can then be fitted over an M16 stud and secured using the appropriate fastening arrangement.
For dependable installation, electricians should confirm the conductor size and construction, check the compatibility of the terminal and prepare the cable without damaging its strands. A suitable crimping tool and die should be selected in accordance with the terminal and tool manufacturers' instructions. After crimping, the connection should be inspected before the terminal is mounted onto the M16 stud. The fixing should be tightened according to the equipment manufacturer's requirements. As the PXL120-16 is uninsulated, additional insulation, protective sleeving or barriers may be required depending on the equipment and installation environment.
Typical Applications
- Industrial electrical switchgear and power distribution assemblies.
- Termination of 120 mm² copper conductors onto M16 studs.
- Electrical distribution boards and large control panel installations.
- Busbar connections and stud-mounted electrical terminals.
- Industrial machinery and manufacturing plant electrical installations.
- Motor control centres and heavy-duty electrical equipment assemblies.
- Commercial and industrial electrical infrastructure.
- OEM electrical equipment manufacturing and cable assembly.
- Electrical maintenance, refurbishment and replacement cable terminations.
