Why Choose the Partex COL50-12/RA Right-Angle Copper Tube Terminal?
The Partex COL50-12/RA is a high-quality 90° right-angle copper tube terminal designed to provide secure, reliable electrical connections for 50 mm² copper conductors. Featuring an M12 stud connection and a robust tin-plated copper construction, this cable lug is ideal for industrial electrical installations, switchgear, control panels and power distribution equipment.
As part of the Partex COL copper tube terminal range, the COL50-12/RA is manufactured from high-conductivity copper and finished with bright electro-tin plating to improve corrosion resistance and maintain dependable electrical contact. Its right-angled palm design enables convenient cable termination where installation space is restricted or where a straight cable lug would create excessive cable bending.
Designed for 50 mm² cables and M12 bolted connections, this terminal incorporates a bell-mouth cable entry to simplify conductor insertion and an inspection hole to help verify correct cable positioning before crimping. Supplied in a pack of 50 terminals, the COL50-12/RA provides a practical solution for electrical contractors, panel builders and industrial maintenance engineers.

Reliable Electrical Connections in Confined Installations
Copper tube terminals are used to create secure electrical connections between stranded copper cables and equipment connection points. The Partex COL50-12/RA combines a crimpable tubular barrel with a 90° angled fixing palm, allowing the cable to approach the connection point at a right angle. This arrangement is particularly useful in electrical cabinets, switchboards and other installations where cable routing space is limited.
The terminal's high-conductivity copper body provides an effective electrical connection when correctly crimped, while the electro-tin-plated surface helps protect against oxidation and corrosion. The bell-mouth entry facilitates conductor insertion, and the inspection hole enables installers to check that the cable is correctly seated before applying the crimp.
For dependable performance, the COL50-12/RA should be installed using a crimping tool and die suitable for 50 mm² copper tube terminals. The M12 fixing should be secured using the appropriate fastening hardware and tightening torque specified for the connected equipment. Correct cable preparation, crimping and installation are essential for maintaining a reliable electrical connection.
