Why Choose the Partex PXL800-16 Copper Tube Ring Terminal?
The Partex PXL800-16 is a heavy-duty copper tube ring terminal designed for terminating 800 mm² electrical conductors onto equipment with an M16 stud connection. Supplied individually in a pack of 1, this large-conductor cable lug provides a practical termination solution for electrical contractors, switchgear manufacturers, power distribution engineers and industrial maintenance professionals requiring secure crimped electrical connections.
As part of the Partex PXL copper tube terminal range, the PXL800-16 combines a tubular copper conductor barrel 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 PXL800-16 is particularly relevant to industrial power distribution, large electrical switchgear assemblies, heavy-duty machinery connections and electrical infrastructure. Its specified 800 mm² conductor size and M16 stud compatibility make it a practical choice for substantial power cable terminations where the connected equipment provides a suitable electrical and mechanical mounting arrangement. Individual supply supports project-specific installation, replacement and maintenance requirements.

Heavy-Duty Cable Terminations for Industrial Power Distribution
Correct electrical cable termination is particularly important when working with large-cross-section conductors in industrial power distribution systems. These connections require careful consideration of conductor compatibility, electrical loading, contact resistance and mechanical security. Copper tube ring terminals provide a practical means of connecting large power conductors to compatible equipment studs, busbar connection points and electrical distribution assemblies.
The Partex PXL800-16 is designed for 800 mm² conductors and M16 stud connections. Its tubular copper barrel accommodates a suitably prepared conductor for crimping, while the ring-shaped mounting palm enables the terminated cable to be fastened to a compatible electrical connection point. Correct crimp formation and suitable connection hardware are essential for maintaining conductor retention and electrical contact performance.
During installation, the conductor should be prepared according to the applicable terminal and cable manufacturer's instructions. The insulation must be stripped to the correct length without damaging the conductor, and the conductor must be fully inserted into the terminal barrel. A suitable crimping system, including the correct tool, die profile and crimping procedure, must be used. The completed connection should then be secured using the fastening hardware and tightening torque specified by the equipment manufacturer.
Because the PXL800-16 combines an 800 mm² conductor termination with an M16 stud connection, engineers should carefully verify the current-carrying requirements, conductor construction, connection surface, mechanical loading and available installation space. The M16 fixing size alone does not determine the current rating of the complete connection, and the connected equipment must be suitable for the intended electrical load. Individual supply makes the PXL800-16 convenient for specialist electrical installations, planned maintenance and replacement cable termination work.
