Why Choose the Partex COL10-12/RA Right-Angle Copper Tube Terminal?
The Partex COL10-12/RA is a right-angle copper tube terminal designed to provide a secure electrical connection between a 10 mm² conductor and a compatible M12 stud or bolted terminal. Featuring a right-angle connection arrangement, this crimp terminal offers a practical solution for electrical installations where cable routing, connection orientation or available installation space makes a conventional straight terminal less suitable.
As part of the Partex COL copper tube terminal range, the COL10-12/RA combines conductive copper construction with a tubular crimp barrel and a ring-type mounting connection. The right-angle design allows the cable termination and mounting connection to be arranged at an angle to one another, helping accommodate cable entry requirements in electrical control panels, industrial equipment and distribution assemblies.
With a 10 mm² nominal conductor cross-section and an M12 stud connection, the Partex COL10-12/RA is suitable for applications requiring a bolted electrical connection with a right-angle terminal configuration. Supplied in a convenient pack of 100 terminals, it is particularly useful for electrical panel builders, OEM equipment manufacturers, industrial electricians and maintenance engineers undertaking repeated cable termination work.

Reliable Right-Angle Cable Termination for Industrial Electrical Installations
Right-angle copper tube terminals are useful in electrical installations where cable routing and the orientation of bolted connections require particular consideration. The Partex COL10-12/RA provides a practical method of terminating a compatible 10 mm² conductor onto an M12 stud while incorporating an angled connection arrangement. This can help simplify cable positioning in electrical cabinets, distribution equipment and machinery installations where a straight terminal may not provide the desired cable entry direction.
Correct terminal selection and installation are essential for a dependable electrical connection. The conductor should be prepared to the appropriate stripping length, inserted into the copper tube barrel and crimped using equipment suitable for the conductor and terminal combination. The ring connection should then be secured to the M12 stud using compatible fastening hardware and the equipment manufacturer's specified tightening torque. The completed installation must provide suitable electrical clearance, mechanical support and cable bend radius, with the terminal selected according to the relevant electrical and environmental requirements.
Typical Applications
- Industrial electrical control panels and switchgear assemblies.
- Electrical distribution equipment with M12 bolted connections.
- Busbar connection points requiring angled cable termination.
- Motor control equipment and industrial machinery wiring.
- Electrical cabinets with restricted cable routing space.
- OEM electrical equipment manufacturing and assembly.
- Industrial automation and electrical distribution systems.
- Equipment installations requiring right-angle cable entry.
- Electrical maintenance and cable replacement projects.
- Termination of compatible 10 mm² conductors onto M12 studs where a right-angle configuration is required.
