Why Choose the Partex PXL70-16 Copper Tube Ring Terminal?
The Partex PXL70-16 is a copper tube ring terminal designed for terminating 70 mm² electrical conductors onto equipment with an M16 stud connection. Supplied in a convenient pack of 30, this heavy-duty cable lug provides a practical termination solution for electrical contractors, switchgear manufacturers, control panel builders and industrial maintenance engineers requiring secure crimped electrical connections.
As part of the Partex PXL copper tube terminal range, the PXL70-16 combines a tubular copper conductor entry with a ring-shaped mounting palm. The copper barrel is designed to be crimped onto a compatible conductor using appropriately selected crimping equipment, while the ring connection allows the terminated cable to be securely fastened to a suitable M16 stud or bolted electrical terminal.
The Partex PXL70-16 is particularly suitable for industrial power distribution, electrical switchgear, motor control centres, machinery power connections and electrical infrastructure. Its specified 70 mm² conductor capacity and M16 stud compatibility make it a practical choice for larger electrical cable terminations, while the 30-piece pack supports professional installation, equipment manufacturing and maintenance operations.

Secure High-Cross-Section Cable Connections for Industrial Power Distribution
Correct electrical cable termination is essential for maintaining mechanical security and electrical continuity in industrial power installations. Larger electrical conductors require appropriately sized cable lugs and carefully controlled crimping procedures to achieve dependable connections. Copper tube ring terminals provide a practical method of connecting power conductors to equipment studs, electrical distribution assemblies and machinery terminals.
The Partex PXL70-16 is designed for 70 mm² conductors and M16 stud connections. Its tubular copper barrel accepts a suitably prepared conductor for crimping, while the ring-shaped mounting palm allows the terminated cable to be mechanically fastened to a compatible electrical connection point. Correct crimp formation is essential for conductor retention and electrical contact performance.
During installation, the conductor should be stripped to the appropriate length without damaging its strands and inserted fully into the terminal barrel. The lug must then be crimped using tooling and dies suitable for the terminal and conductor combination. The completed ring connection should be secured using appropriate fastening hardware and the tightening torque specified by the equipment manufacturer.
The 30-piece pack makes the PXL70-16 suitable for electrical switchgear manufacturing, industrial power distribution wiring and maintenance work requiring multiple identical terminations. Engineers should verify conductor construction, crimp tooling compatibility, electrical loading requirements and the complete connection arrangement before installation.
