Partex PXL16-12 copper tube ring terminal for 16 mm² copper conductors with an M12 stud connection, supplied in a pack of 100 for secure crimped electrical terminations in industrial power distribution systems, electrical control panels and machinery.
£75.97
The Partex PXL16-12 is a high-quality copper tube ring terminal designed for secure electrical connections between copper conductors and equipment terminals. Suitable for 16 mm² copper cables and featuring an M12 stud hole, this crimp terminal provides a practical and dependable solution for industrial electrical installations, power distribution systems and control panel assemblies.
As part of the Partex PXL copper tube terminal range, the PXL16-12 is designed to create a strong mechanical and electrical connection when installed using a compatible crimping tool and die. Its tubular copper barrel accommodates the prepared cable conductor, while the ring-shaped connection palm allows the terminal to be securely fastened to an appropriately sized threaded stud or bolted electrical connection.
Supplied in a convenient pack of 100 terminals, the Partex PXL16-12 is ideal for electrical contractors, panel builders, maintenance engineers and industrial equipment manufacturers. Combining a 16 mm² conductor size with an M12 mounting hole, this terminal is suitable for electrical connections requiring secure conductor termination and reliable mechanical retention.
Copper tube ring terminals are widely used to connect electrical conductors to equipment terminals, distribution busbars, switchgear and threaded connection points. The prepared conductor is inserted into the tubular barrel and compressed using a suitable crimping tool and die. When correctly installed, this produces a mechanically secure connection with effective electrical contact between the conductor and terminal.
The Partex PXL16-12 is designed for 16 mm² copper conductors requiring an M12 stud connection. Its closed-ring configuration helps prevent accidental disconnection from the mounting stud while the fixing hardware remains secured. This makes it particularly suitable for industrial electrical assemblies where secure and consistent cable terminations are essential.
Correct installation requires the conductor to be stripped to the appropriate length, fully inserted into the crimp barrel and compressed using compatible tooling. The completed termination should be inspected for mechanical security before being installed onto the M12 connection point. Appropriate tightening torque, insulation and electrical protection should be applied according to the connected equipment and installation requirements.

The Partex PXL16-12 is used to create secure crimped electrical connections between 16 mm² copper conductors and electrical equipment fitted with an M12 stud or bolt. Typical applications include industrial control panels, power distribution systems and machinery connections.
The terminal is designed for a nominal conductor cross-section of 16 mm². The conductor construction and crimping equipment must be compatible with the terminal barrel to ensure a reliable mechanical and electrical connection.
The PXL16-12 is designed for an M12 stud connection, corresponding to a nominal threaded stud diameter of 12 mm. The ring terminal is secured using compatible fixing hardware.
The Partex PXL16-12 is supplied in a pack of 100 copper tube ring terminals, making it suitable for electrical contractors, industrial maintenance teams and panel builders requiring multiple cable terminations.
The 16 mm² copper conductor is stripped to the appropriate length, inserted into the tubular barrel and secured using a compatible crimping tool and die. The ring terminal is then positioned over the M12 stud and fastened using the appropriate fixing hardware and tightening procedure.
Partex PXL copper tube ring terminals provide a practical connection solution for electrical contractors, panel builders and industrial maintenance engineers. The PXL16-12 combines a 16 mm² conductor capacity, M12 stud connection and convenient pack of 100 terminals for secure, repeatable electrical cable terminations in industrial power distribution and equipment installations.
