Why Choose the Partex PXL4-8 Copper Tube Ring Terminal?
The Partex PXL4-8 is a copper tube ring terminal designed for terminating 4 mm² electrical conductors onto equipment with an M8 stud connection. Supplied in a convenient pack of 100, this cable lug provides a practical termination solution for electrical contractors, control panel manufacturers and industrial maintenance engineers.
As part of the Partex PXL copper tube terminal range, the PXL4-8 combines a tubular conductor entry with a ring-shaped mounting palm. The copper tube barrel is designed to be crimped onto a compatible conductor using an appropriately sized crimping tool and die, while the ring connection allows the terminated cable to be secured to a suitable M8 stud or bolted electrical connection.
The Partex PXL4-8 is particularly suitable for electrical distribution equipment, industrial control panels, machinery wiring and electrical maintenance applications. Its clearly defined conductor size and stud compatibility make it straightforward to select for installations requiring dependable crimped electrical connections.

Reliable Crimped Cable Connections for Electrical Distribution and Control Systems
Correct cable termination is essential for maintaining electrical continuity and mechanical security in industrial installations. Copper tube ring terminals provide a practical method of connecting conductors to equipment terminals, stud connections and electrical distribution assemblies. Selecting the correct conductor size, stud diameter and crimping equipment is important for achieving a reliable connection.
The Partex PXL4-8 is designed for 4 mm² conductors and M8 stud connections. Its tubular copper barrel accepts a suitably prepared conductor for crimping, while the ring-shaped palm allows the terminated cable to be mechanically fastened to the equipment connection point. A correctly formed crimp helps maintain conductor retention and a suitable electrical contact interface.
During installation, the conductor should be stripped to the appropriate length and inserted fully into the terminal barrel. The terminal must then be crimped using tooling and dies suitable for the lug and conductor combination. The ring connection should be secured using the fastening method and tightening torque specified by the equipment manufacturer.
The 100-piece pack makes the PXL4-8 convenient for electrical panel production, machinery wiring and routine maintenance tasks where multiple identical terminations are required. For reliable results, installers should verify conductor construction, crimp tooling compatibility and the electrical requirements of the complete connection.
