Reliable Cable Termination for Industrial Power Distribution
Copper tube ring terminals provide a dependable method of connecting large electrical conductors to busbars, switchgear terminals and other bolted electrical connections. The Partex COL240-16 is designed to accommodate a 240 mm² copper conductor, with a tubular barrel that can be compressed using appropriately sized crimping equipment to form a secure electrical and mechanical connection.
The terminal's high-conductivity copper construction helps maintain efficient electrical continuity, while the electrolytic tin plating provides additional protection against surface oxidation. Its bell-mouth entry assists with cable positioning, and the inspection hole allows installers to confirm conductor insertion before completing the crimp. When installed using compatible tooling and the correct crimping procedure, the COL240-16 is suitable for demanding electrical distribution and industrial power connection applications.
