Why Choose the Partex PXP240 Copper Flat Pin Connector?
The Partex PXP240 is a heavy-duty copper flat pin connector designed for terminating large copper conductors in industrial electrical installations, power distribution equipment and switchgear assemblies. Part of the Partex range of electrical cable termination products, this connector provides a practical solution for connecting substantial copper power cables to compatible flat-pin terminal arrangements.
Designed for 240 mm² copper conductors, the PXP240 combines a tubular conductor termination barrel with a flat pin connection end. The copper construction supports efficient electrical conductivity, while the crimp termination arrangement enables a secure mechanical and electrical connection when installed using an appropriately selected compression crimping tool and matching die. Unlike a ring terminal, the flat pin design is intended for insertion into a compatible terminal or clamping connection rather than attachment to a threaded fixing stud.
Supplied in a convenient pack of 10 connectors, the Partex PXP240 is suitable for electrical contractors, industrial maintenance engineers, switchgear manufacturers and panel builders working with large-section copper power cables. Its combination of a 240 mm² conductor capacity and flat pin termination makes it particularly useful where a compatible equipment terminal accepts a flat conductive connection blade.

Reliable Flat Pin Connections for Large Copper Power Cables
Industrial electrical installations often require different termination styles depending on the design of the equipment connection point. The Partex PXP240 copper flat pin connector is intended for applications where a 240 mm² copper conductor must be connected to a compatible flat-pin terminal arrangement. Its flat conductive end provides a connection interface for suitable equipment terminals, while the conductor barrel allows the cable to be terminated by compression crimping.
During installation, the copper conductor should be stripped to the appropriate length without damaging its strands. The prepared conductor is inserted fully into the connector barrel before a suitable compression crimping tool and correctly matched die are used to form the connection. Correct conductor preparation, tool selection, die compatibility and crimp positioning are important for achieving secure conductor retention and effective electrical contact. The completed crimp should be inspected in accordance with the applicable installation instructions.
The flat pin end is then inserted into the compatible equipment terminal and secured using the terminal manufacturer's specified clamping arrangement. It is essential to confirm that the equipment accepts the connector's flat pin dimensions and that the complete connection is suitable for the intended conductor size, electrical load and installation conditions. Proper terminal tightening, mechanical support and cable routing help maintain connection integrity during operation. The connector should not be substituted for a ring lug or other terminal style unless the equipment manufacturer permits that connection method.
