Why Choose the Partex COL16-6 Copper Tube Ring Terminal?
The Partex COL16-6 is a copper tube ring terminal designed for terminating 16 mm² electrical conductors onto an M6 threaded stud or bolted electrical connection. Supplied in a convenient pack of 100 terminals, this cable lug provides a practical solution for creating secure, mechanically fastened electrical connections in control panels, distribution equipment and industrial electrical installations.
The copper construction provides an electrically conductive connection between the cable and the termination point. Its tubular barrel accommodates the conductor for crimp termination, while the closed-ring mounting eye allows the terminal to be secured using a compatible stud, screw or bolted connection. This design is particularly useful for electrical installations requiring reliable conductor retention and consistent termination methods.
With its 16 mm² conductor size and M6 stud compatibility, the Partex COL16-6 is suitable for electrical contractors, panel builders and maintenance engineers working with industrial power distribution, machinery and electrical control systems. The pack of 100 supports repeated installation, equipment manufacturing and routine maintenance activities.

Reliable Copper Crimp Connections for Electrical Installations
Copper tube ring terminals provide a practical method of connecting electrical conductors to equipment terminals, busbar connection points and threaded studs. The Partex COL16-6 combines a tubular crimp barrel with a closed-ring mounting eye, allowing a correctly prepared 16 mm² conductor to be terminated and mechanically fastened to a compatible M6 electrical connection. The ring configuration provides a positive mechanical connection that remains captured around the stud while the fastening is in place.
For dependable installation, the conductor should be prepared and crimped using tooling suitable for the terminal design and conductor size. The completed ring terminal should then be fastened according to the equipment manufacturer's instructions. Correct crimping, cable selection and fastening are essential for maintaining electrical continuity and reducing the risk of loose or overheated connections. The completed assembly must also be suitable for the intended current, operating conditions and mechanical requirements.
