Why Choose the Partex COL16-6 Copper Tube Ring Terminal?
The Partex COL16-6 is a copper tube ring terminal designed for terminating 16 mm² electrical conductors onto an M6 threaded stud or bolted electrical connection. Supplied in a convenient pack of 100 terminals, this cable lug provides a practical solution for creating secure, mechanically fastened electrical connections in control panels, distribution equipment and industrial electrical installations.
The copper construction provides an electrically conductive connection between the cable and the termination point. Its tubular barrel accommodates the conductor for crimp termination, while the closed-ring mounting eye allows the terminal to be secured using a compatible stud, screw or bolted connection. This design is particularly useful for electrical installations requiring reliable conductor retention and consistent termination methods.
With its 16 mm² conductor size and M6 stud compatibility, the Partex COL16-6 is suitable for electrical contractors, panel builders and maintenance engineers working with industrial power distribution, machinery and electrical control systems. The pack of 100 supports repeated installation, equipment manufacturing and routine maintenance activities.

Reliable Copper Crimp Connections for Electrical Installations
Copper tube ring terminals provide a practical method of connecting electrical conductors to equipment terminals, busbar connection points and threaded studs. The Partex COL16-6 combines a tubular crimp barrel with a closed-ring mounting eye, allowing a correctly prepared 16 mm² conductor to be terminated and mechanically fastened to a compatible M6 electrical connection. The ring configuration provides a positive mechanical connection that remains captured around the stud while the fastening is in place.
For dependable installation, the conductor should be prepared and crimped using tooling suitable for the terminal design and conductor size. The completed ring terminal should then be fastened according to the equipment manufacturer's instructions. Correct crimping, cable selection and fastening are essential for maintaining electrical continuity and reducing the risk of loose or overheated connections. The completed assembly must also be suitable for the intended current, operating conditions and mechanical requirements.
Typical Applications
- Industrial electrical control panel wiring.
- Electrical distribution boards and switchgear assemblies.
- Power cable connections on electrical equipment.
- Industrial machinery and automation installations.
- Motor control panels and electrical power connections.
- Electrical maintenance and cable replacement work.
- Commercial and industrial electrical installations.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Partex COL16-6 used for?
The Partex COL16-6 is a copper tube ring terminal used to terminate 16 mm² electrical conductors onto compatible M6 stud or bolted connections in electrical equipment, control panels and industrial installations.
What cable size is suitable for the COL16-6 ring terminal?
The terminal is designed for a nominal conductor cross-section of 16 mm².
What stud size does the Partex COL16-6 fit?
The Partex COL16-6 is designed for an M6 threaded stud or compatible bolted electrical connection.
What material is the Partex COL16-6 made from?
The terminal is manufactured from copper, providing an electrically conductive connection between the terminated conductor and the equipment connection point.
How many terminals are included in one pack?
Each pack contains 100 Partex COL16-6 copper tube ring terminals.
How is the Partex COL16-6 installed?
The correctly sized conductor is inserted into the tubular barrel and crimped using suitable tooling. The ring eye is then positioned over a compatible M6 stud or bolt and secured according to the equipment manufacturer's installation instructions.
Can the COL16-6 be used for power distribution connections?
Yes, the COL16-6 can be used for suitable 16 mm² conductor connections in electrical distribution equipment where an M6 fastening is provided, provided the terminal, conductor and completed connection meet the installation's electrical and mechanical requirements.
What is the difference between the COL16-6 and a right-angle ring terminal?
The COL16-6 is a conventional copper tube ring terminal, while a right-angle version such as the COL16-6/RA configuration would use an angled mounting arrangement for alternative cable routing. Terminal orientation should be selected according to the equipment connection layout and available installation space.
