Why Choose the Partex PXL400-16 Copper Tube Ring Terminal?
The Partex PXL400-16 is a heavy-duty copper tube ring terminal designed for terminating 400 mm² electrical conductors onto compatible M16 stud connections. Supplied in a pack of 10 terminals, this large-capacity crimp cable lug provides a practical solution for industrial power distribution, electrical switchgear assembly and heavy-duty cable termination applications.
As part of the Partex PXL copper tube terminal range, the PXL400-16 combines a tubular conductor barrel with a ring-shaped mounting palm. The barrel accommodates a suitably prepared electrical conductor and is compressed using compatible heavy-duty crimping equipment, while the ring palm enables the terminated cable to be secured to an M16 stud or suitable bolted electrical connection.
With its 400 mm² nominal conductor size, M16 stud fixing and 10-piece pack quantity, the PXL400-16 is suited to larger-conductor termination work in electrical distribution assemblies, industrial machinery and power connection systems. Correct conductor preparation, crimping and connection tightening are essential for achieving a dependable electrical and mechanical termination.

Heavy-Duty Copper Crimp Connections for Large Power Conductors
The Partex PXL400-16 copper tube ring terminal provides a connection between a compatible 400 mm² electrical conductor and an M16 bolted terminal point. During installation, the conductor is stripped to the appropriate length, inserted into the tubular barrel and compressed using correctly selected crimping equipment. A properly formed crimp establishes the mechanical and electrical connection between the conductor and the terminal.
For large-section conductors, correct installation is particularly important. The installer should verify the conductor material and construction, terminal barrel compatibility, specified crimping die and required crimping procedure. The ring-shaped palm is then secured to the M16 connection point using the equipment manufacturer's recommended fixing arrangement and tightening torque. Proper crimp formation, clean contact surfaces and secure bolted fastening help maintain a dependable electrical connection.
