Why Choose the Partex COL16-6/RA 16mm² Right-Angle Copper Tube Terminal?
The Partex COL16-6/RA is a robust 16 mm² right-angle copper tube crimp terminal designed to provide secure electrical connections between copper conductors and equipment fitted with M6 stud terminals. Its angled palm design allows cables to be terminated at a right angle to the mounting surface, making it particularly useful where space, cable routing or equipment access restricts the use of conventional straight copper tube terminals.
Manufactured for professional electrical installation and industrial engineering applications, this Partex right-angle copper tube terminal combines a conductive copper barrel with a mechanically secure bolted connection. Its crimp termination design enables reliable conductor contact when installed using suitable crimping equipment, while the angled configuration helps simplify cable management inside electrical control panels, distribution assemblies and machinery enclosures.
Designed for 16 mm² copper conductors and an M6 mounting stud, the COL16-6/RA is suitable for electrical equipment requiring compact, durable cable terminations. Supplied in a convenient pack of 100 terminals, it is a practical choice for panel builders, electrical contractors, OEM manufacturers and industrial maintenance teams.

Reliable Right-Angle Cable Terminations for Industrial Electrical Systems
Right-angle copper tube terminals such as the Partex COL16-6/RA are used to connect electrical conductors to equipment terminals where a straight cable lug may be impractical. The angled mounting palm allows the cable to approach the connection from a different direction, helping reduce awkward cable bends and improve the arrangement of wiring inside electrical panels and machinery.
The copper barrel is designed to accept a correctly prepared 16 mm² copper conductor, which is then secured using an appropriate crimping tool and die. The terminal palm is fastened to a compatible M6 stud or bolted connection, providing a practical electrical interface between the cable and equipment. Correct crimping, suitable tightening torque and adequate cable support are important for long-term connection reliability.
As an uninsulated terminal, the COL16-6/RA may require suitable insulating boots, heat-shrink sleeving or protective barriers depending on the installation. The selected conductor, terminal, crimping system and bolted connection must be appropriate for the operating current, voltage and environmental conditions of the electrical system.
Typical Applications
- Industrial electrical control panels and switchgear assemblies.
- Electrical distribution boards and power connection equipment.
- Machinery wiring and industrial automation installations.
- Electrical equipment with restricted terminal access.
- Motor control panels and associated electrical equipment.
- OEM equipment manufacturing and electrical panel building.
- Power cable terminations requiring an angled connection.
- Industrial maintenance, equipment refurbishment and cable replacement.
- Bolted electrical connections with compatible M6 mounting studs.
- Commercial and industrial installations using 16 mm² copper conductors.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Partex COL16-6/RA used for?
The Partex COL16-6/RA is a right-angle copper tube terminal used to connect 16 mm² copper cables to electrical equipment with compatible M6 stud connections. Its angled design is particularly useful in control panels, distribution equipment and confined installation spaces.
What cable size does the Partex COL16-6/RA accept?
The terminal is designed for copper conductors with a nominal cross-sectional area of 16 mm². The conductor should be prepared and crimped using tooling suitable for the terminal and cable construction.
What stud size is compatible with this terminal?
The COL16-6/RA is designed for an M6 stud connection, allowing it to be secured to compatible electrical terminals and bolted connection points.
Why use a right-angle copper tube terminal instead of a straight terminal?
A right-angle terminal allows the cable to approach the mounting point from a different direction, helping improve cable routing, reduce awkward conductor bends and simplify connections in installations with limited clearance.
How many Partex COL16-6/RA terminals are supplied?
This product is supplied as a pack of 100 right-angle copper tube terminals, suitable for electrical contractors, panel builders and industrial maintenance operations.
