Why Choose the Partex COL150-8/RA Right-Angle Copper Tube Terminal?
The Partex COL150-8/RA is a robust right-angle copper tube ring terminal designed to provide secure electrical connections for 150 mm² copper conductors using an M8 stud connection. Suitable for professional electrical installations and industrial power distribution applications, this heavy-duty cable terminal offers a practical solution for terminating large copper cables where installation space or cable routing requirements make straight terminals less convenient.
The COL150-8/RA features a 90-degree angled terminal configuration that allows the cable to approach the mounting point at a right angle. This arrangement can help simplify cable routing inside electrical cabinets, switchgear and power distribution equipment. Its tubular cable barrel is designed for compression crimping, while the closed-ring fixing hole provides a secure bolted connection when correctly installed.
With a 150 mm² conductor capacity and an M8 stud connection, the Partex COL150-8/RA is particularly useful for large copper cable terminations in industrial electrical systems. Its conductive copper construction supports efficient electrical current transfer, while the angled design provides additional installation flexibility. Supplied in a convenient pack of 10 terminals, it is suitable for electricians, electrical panel builders and industrial maintenance engineers.

Reliable Right-Angle Cable Termination for Industrial Electrical Systems
Right-angle copper tube terminals provide an effective method of connecting electrical conductors to studs, busbars and equipment terminals where space restrictions or cable routing requirements make conventional straight terminals less practical. The Partex COL150-8/RA is designed to accommodate 150 mm² copper cable, with a 90-degree angled connection arrangement that allows the conductor to approach the mounting point from a different direction. This can improve installation flexibility and help achieve a more organised cable layout.
The terminal's tubular barrel is designed for compression crimping using an appropriate crimping tool and matching die. Once the copper conductor has been correctly prepared and crimped, the terminal can be fastened to a compatible M8 stud or bolted connection point. Its copper construction supports efficient electrical conductivity, while the closed-ring design helps prevent accidental disengagement from the fixing stud.
For large conductors such as 150 mm² copper cable, careful consideration should be given to conductor preparation, cable bending radius, crimping procedures and fastening torque. The right-angle configuration can help accommodate challenging cable routes, but the minimum bending radius specified for the cable must still be maintained. The M8 fixing, electrical contact surface and associated equipment must also be verified as suitable for the intended electrical current, mechanical loading and operating conditions. The conductor cross-section alone does not determine the current rating of the completed connection.
