Secure Electrical Connections for Industrial Power Distribution
Copper tube ring terminals are commonly used to terminate electrical conductors where a reliable bolted connection is required. The Partex COL185-10 is designed to connect a 185 mm² copper conductor to an electrical terminal fitted with an M10 stud or compatible fastening.
The tubular copper construction provides a suitable barrel for crimping the conductor, while the ring-shaped connection palm allows the completed termination to be secured beneath a compatible fastening. This arrangement is useful in industrial electrical distribution equipment, switchgear assemblies, power panels and machinery where secure cable connections are essential.
For larger conductor sizes such as 185 mm², correct cable preparation and termination are especially important. The terminal must be matched to the conductor construction and an appropriate crimping system to achieve effective electrical contact and mechanical retention. Suitable cable support also helps minimise stress at the connection point.
During installation, the prepared conductor is inserted into the tubular barrel and secured using an appropriately sized crimping tool and die. A correctly formed crimp provides mechanical retention and effective electrical contact between the conductor and terminal. The ring end is then fastened to the equipment connection point using the specified tightening procedure.
The 185 mm² conductor and M10 stud combination requires particular attention to the electrical and mechanical suitability of the equipment connection. The conductor size alone does not determine the current-carrying capacity of the complete connection; the terminal, fastening arrangement, contact surface, equipment rating and installation conditions must all be appropriate for the intended application.
The COL185-10 provides a practical cable termination solution for electrical contractors, switchgear manufacturers and industrial maintenance personnel. Correct conductor preparation, compatible crimping equipment, appropriate fastening torque, suitable cable support and adequate installation clearance are essential for achieving a dependable electrical connection.
