£197.47
The Partex CT50 is a specialist copper tube terminal crimping tool designed for terminating compatible copper tube cable lugs and connectors across a nominal conductor size range of 6–50 mm². Suitable for professional electricians, electrical panel builders, industrial maintenance engineers and electrical contractors, this practical crimping tool provides a reliable method of securing copper tube terminals to appropriately sized electrical conductors.
Correctly crimped cable terminals are essential for establishing secure electrical connections in control panels, switchgear, distribution boards and industrial machinery. The Partex CT50 crimp tool is designed to apply compression to compatible copper tube terminals, helping create a mechanically secure connection between the conductor and terminal barrel. When used with the correct crimping profile and suitable cable terminals, the tool supports consistent electrical cable termination and professional installation practices.
With a 6–50 mm² crimping capacity, the CT50 covers a useful range of copper conductor sizes commonly encountered in industrial electrical installations and power distribution equipment. It is particularly suitable for installers working with compatible copper tube ring terminals and cable connectors. The CT50 offers a dedicated solution for cable lug installation, equipment assembly and maintenance work where correctly formed compression crimps are required.
Compression crimping is a widely used method of attaching copper tube terminals to electrical conductors. The Partex CT50 is designed for crimping compatible copper tube cable terminals across the 6–50 mm² conductor range, making it suitable for a variety of electrical installation and equipment assembly tasks. During crimping, controlled pressure is applied to the terminal barrel around the inserted conductor, helping establish electrical contact and mechanical retention.
Correct tool selection is particularly important when installing copper tube terminals because the crimp profile must match the terminal design, barrel dimensions and conductor size. A properly formed crimp helps maintain a dependable electrical connection, while an incorrectly selected tool or crimping profile may damage the terminal or produce an inadequate termination. The CT50 should therefore be used only with terminal and conductor combinations confirmed as compatible with its crimping system.
Before crimping, the conductor should be stripped to the appropriate length without damaging the copper strands. The conductor must then be fully inserted into the selected terminal barrel and crimped according to the relevant tool and terminal manufacturer's instructions. The completed crimp should be inspected for correct compression, conductor retention and visible damage. Where the terminal is subsequently attached to a stud, busbar or equipment connection point, the appropriate fastening procedure must also be followed. The 6–50 mm² capacity describes the tool's nominal conductor size range and does not independently establish compatibility with every copper tube terminal of those sizes.

The Partex CT50 is a copper tube terminal crimping tool designed for attaching compatible copper tube cable terminals to electrical conductors. It is suitable for professional electrical installation, panel building, industrial equipment assembly and maintenance applications.
The CT50 has a nominal crimping range of 6–50 mm². This makes it suitable for a variety of copper conductor sizes within that range, provided the terminal design, conductor construction and required crimp profile are compatible with the tool.
Yes, the CT50 is intended for crimping compatible copper tube terminals, including suitable ring terminal designs. The specific terminal barrel dimensions, conductor size and required crimping profile should be checked against the tool manufacturer's instructions before use.
Prepare the copper conductor to the required stripping length, select a compatible copper tube terminal and the correct crimping profile, then insert the conductor fully into the terminal barrel. Position the terminal correctly in the tool and complete the crimp according to the manufacturer's instructions. Inspect the finished connection to confirm that the terminal has been securely crimped without visible damage.
Yes, the Partex CT50 is suitable for professional electrical panel building and industrial cable termination applications where compatible copper tube terminals and conductors within the 6–50 mm² range are used. Correct crimping procedures and component compatibility remain essential for reliable results.
Partex cable termination tools provide practical solutions for professional electricians, electrical panel builders and industrial maintenance engineers. The CT50 copper tube terminal crimp tool offers a versatile 6–50 mm² crimping range, supporting secure compression terminations for compatible copper tube cable lugs and connectors in electrical installations, switchgear and industrial equipment.
