Why Choose the Partex COL6-10 Copper Tube Ring Terminals?
The Partex COL6-10 Copper Tube Ring Terminal is a practical electrical cable termination component designed for connecting 6 mm² copper conductors to equipment featuring an M10 threaded stud or bolt connection. Manufactured from copper and featuring a tubular barrel with a ring-shaped fixing eye, this terminal provides a convenient solution for creating secure, mechanically retained electrical connections in control panels, distribution equipment, machinery and industrial electrical installations.
The 6 mm² conductor capacity makes the COL6-10 suitable for appropriately sized copper cables, while the M10 ring connection allows the terminated conductor to be secured beneath a compatible nut or bolt. This combination is particularly useful where a cable needs to be connected to a threaded terminal post, busbar connection point, earthing assembly or other suitable electrical connection.
Supplied in a convenient pack of 100 terminals, the Partex COL6-10 is ideal for electrical contractors, control panel manufacturers, maintenance engineers and industrial equipment builders who require a consistent supply of copper tube cable lugs for repetitive installation and assembly work.

Professional 6 mm² Copper Cable Termination with M10 Stud Connection
Reliable electrical connections depend on selecting termination components that match the conductor, fixing arrangement and operating conditions of the installation. The Partex COL6-10 copper tube ring terminal is designed to accommodate a 6 mm² copper conductor and connect it to an M10 threaded fixing point, making it a useful component for electrical panel assembly, machinery wiring and equipment maintenance.
The terminal incorporates a tubular barrel into which the prepared copper conductor is inserted before crimping. When the correct crimping tool, die and procedure are used, the crimped barrel forms the cable-to-terminal connection. The ring-shaped fixing eye can then be positioned over a compatible M10 stud and secured using the appropriate fastening arrangement.
A ring terminal provides an important practical distinction from an open-ended fork terminal. Because the fixing stud passes through the enclosed ring, the terminal cannot normally be lifted away from the stud without removing the retaining nut or fastener. This makes ring-style connections useful where secure mechanical retention is important.
The copper construction makes the COL6-10 suitable for electrical termination applications requiring a conductive metal lug. Correct installation remains essential: the terminal must be compatible with the conductor construction, crimping equipment, electrical loading and environmental conditions.
The COL6-10 should not be selected solely by its conductor size and stud diameter when an installation has specific current, temperature, vibration or environmental requirements. Confirm the applicable manufacturer specifications and equipment requirements before use.
Typical Applications
- Industrial electrical control panel assembly.
- Electrical distribution equipment and terminal connections.
- Stud-mounted electrical cable terminations.
- Industrial machinery wiring and equipment connections.
- Motor control equipment and associated electrical assemblies.
- Compatible busbar and bolted terminal connections.
- Electrical earthing and bonding arrangements where the terminal is suitably rated.
- OEM electrical equipment manufacturing.
- Factory electrical maintenance and repair work.
- Commercial and industrial electrical installations.
- Electrical cabinet and enclosure wiring.
- Replacement of compatible copper cable terminations.
Installation Considerations for Copper Tube Ring Terminals
For an effective termination, the cable, ring terminal and fixing point must all be compatible. The Partex COL6-10 is specified for a 6 mm² conductor and an M10 stud, but the conductor construction and terminal barrel dimensions should also be checked against the manufacturer's guidance.
The conductor should be prepared to the correct stripping length without damaging its strands. Insert the conductor fully into the barrel and use a crimping tool and die suitable for the terminal design. After crimping, inspect the connection in accordance with the applicable installation procedure.
When mounting the terminal, ensure the M10 fixing point is appropriate for the equipment and that the connection is assembled and tightened to the equipment manufacturer's specified torque. Contact surfaces, washers and fastening arrangements should be selected according to the relevant electrical assembly requirements.
Because this is a non-insulated copper tube terminal, additional insulation, guarding or enclosure protection may be necessary depending on the application. Electrical work should be carried out by competent personnel following appropriate isolation and safe working procedures.
Pack of 100 for Electrical Contractors and Panel Builders
The Partex COL6-10 pack of 100 offers a convenient supply of matching copper tube ring terminals for professional electrical installation and manufacturing environments. Keeping a consistent terminal reference available helps simplify stock management and supports repeatable cable termination practices.
For control panel manufacturers, the pack quantity is useful when assembling multiple electrical panels with identical cable and fixing requirements. Electrical contractors can maintain a supply for installation work, while maintenance departments can keep compatible replacement terminals available for planned repairs and equipment modifications.
The combination of 6 mm² conductor capacity, M10 stud compatibility and 100-piece packaging makes the COL6-10 a practical choice for projects requiring numerous identical bolted cable connections.
