Why Choose the Partex PXP50 Copper Flat Pin Connector?
The Partex PXP50 Copper Flat Pin Connector is a heavy-duty electrical cable termination designed for connecting 50 mm² copper conductors to compatible electrical terminals. Featuring a flat pin connection profile rather than a traditional ring lug, the PXP50 provides a practical solution for electrical equipment with suitable clamp, screw or terminal block connections.
Manufactured from copper, the Partex PXP50 combines a tubular crimp barrel with a flat pin contact section. The barrel is designed to accommodate a correctly prepared 50 mm² copper conductor, while the flat pin allows the completed cable termination to be inserted into compatible electrical connection points. When correctly crimped and installed, this arrangement provides mechanical conductor retention and an effective electrical connection.
Supplied in a convenient pack of 30 connectors, the Partex PXP50 is suitable for electrical contractors, industrial maintenance engineers, panel builders and electrical equipment manufacturers. Its combination of 50 mm² cable compatibility, copper construction and flat pin configuration makes it a useful choice for professional electrical installations where a large conductor must be connected to a compatible terminal without using a ring-style mounting hole.

Reliable Copper Flat Pin Connections for Electrical Distribution Equipment
Copper flat pin connectors are used where an electrical cable must be terminated into equipment designed to accept a flat contact profile. Unlike ring terminals, which are secured around a threaded stud or bolt, flat pin connectors are inserted into a compatible clamping connection. This makes them useful for selected terminal blocks, switchgear connections and electrical equipment terminals where the manufacturer specifies a suitable flat pin termination.
The Partex PXP50 is intended for 50 mm² copper conductors. The conductor is stripped to the appropriate length and inserted into the connector barrel before being compressed using compatible crimping equipment. Correct crimping establishes the conductor-to-connector joint, while the flat pin section provides the interface with the equipment terminal.
Before installation, it is important to confirm that the receiving terminal is suitable for the connector's flat pin dimensions, material and electrical duty. The terminal must be designed to accept and securely clamp the pin without damaging or distorting it. The finished connection should be tightened according to the equipment manufacturer's instructions, and the assembly should be checked for appropriate conductor support, insulation and electrical protection.
For 50 mm² power cable terminations, the correct crimping method is essential. Installers should use a suitable crimping tool and die combination, confirm conductor compatibility and inspect the finished crimp. The permissible current and operating temperature of the complete connection depend on the conductor, connector, receiving terminal and installation conditions rather than the nominal cable size alone.
