Why Choose the Partex COL50-8/RA Right-Angle Copper Tube Terminal?
The Partex COL50-8/RA is a right-angle copper tube ring terminal designed for terminating 50 mm² electrical conductors onto an M8 threaded stud or bolted electrical connection. Supplied in a convenient pack of 50 terminals, this angled cable lug provides a practical solution for secure, mechanically fastened electrical connections in power distribution equipment, industrial control panels and electrical installations.
The terminal combines a copper tubular crimp barrel with a right-angle ring mounting section, allowing the conductor to approach the electrical connection point at an angle. This configuration is particularly useful in electrical enclosures, switchgear assemblies and industrial machinery where cable routing space is restricted or a conventional straight ring terminal would require additional conductor bending.
With its 50 mm² conductor compatibility, M8 stud connection and right-angle design, the Partex COL50-8/RA is suitable for electrical contractors, industrial panel builders and maintenance engineers requiring practical cable termination solutions. The pack of 50 supports equipment assembly, electrical installation and maintenance operations.
Key Advantages
- Right-angle terminal configuration supports convenient cable routing in restricted installation spaces.

Reliable Right-Angle Crimp Connections for Industrial Power Distribution
Right-angle copper tube terminals provide a practical method of connecting electrical conductors to equipment terminals, busbar connection points and threaded studs while accommodating cable routing requirements. The Partex COL50-8/RA combines a tubular crimp barrel with an angled ring mounting section, allowing a correctly prepared 50 mm² conductor to be terminated and mechanically fastened to a compatible M8 electrical connection. The closed-ring mounting eye provides positive mechanical retention around the stud while the fastening remains secured.
The right-angle configuration is particularly useful where enclosure depth, adjacent electrical components or cable entry direction make straight terminal installation less convenient. For dependable performance, the conductor should be prepared and crimped using tooling and dies suitable for the terminal design and conductor size. The completed connection must be fastened according to the equipment manufacturer's instructions, with the intended electrical load, conductor support, terminal compatibility and installation clearances considered before use.
Typical Applications
- Industrial electrical control panels and power distribution assemblies.
- Electrical distribution boards and switchgear installations.
- Compact electrical enclosures with restricted cable routing space.
- Power cable connections on industrial electrical equipment.
- Industrial machinery and automation installations.
- Motor control panels and electrical power connections.
- Busbar connections with compatible M8 fastening points.
- Electrical maintenance and cable replacement work.
- Equipment manufacturing and electrical panel building.
- M8 stud connections requiring a right-angle cable termination.
