Why Choose the Partex PXL16-6 Copper Tube Ring Terminal?
The Partex PXL16-6 is a copper tube ring terminal designed for terminating 16 mm² electrical conductors onto equipment with an M6 stud connection. Supplied in a convenient pack of 100 terminals, it provides a practical solution for electrical contractors, control panel builders and industrial maintenance engineers requiring reliable crimped cable connections.
As part of the Partex PXL copper tube terminal range, the PXL16-6 combines a tubular conductor barrel with a ring-shaped mounting palm. The tubular barrel is designed to receive a suitably prepared conductor and be compressed using an appropriate crimping tool, while the ring palm allows the terminated cable to be secured to a compatible stud or bolted electrical connection.
With its 16 mm² conductor size, M6 stud hole and bulk packaging, the PXL16-6 is suitable for repetitive cable termination work in electrical distribution assemblies, machinery wiring and industrial control equipment. Correct conductor preparation, crimping and connection tightening help achieve a secure, dependable electrical termination.

Secure Copper Cable Terminations for Electrical Equipment
The Partex PXL16-6 copper tube ring terminal provides a connection between a suitably sized electrical conductor and an M6 bolted terminal point. During installation, the prepared conductor is inserted into the tubular barrel and compressed using compatible crimping equipment. A correctly formed crimp creates the mechanical and electrical connection between the conductor and terminal.
The ring-shaped palm is then secured to the equipment connection point using the appropriate M6 fixing arrangement. For reliable performance, installers should verify conductor compatibility, use the correct crimping die and tool, and follow the equipment manufacturer's tightening requirements. The connection should be inspected after installation to confirm proper crimp formation, secure mounting and adequate electrical contact.
Typical Applications
- Industrial electrical control panel assembly.
- Low-voltage electrical distribution equipment.
- Switchgear and electrical cabinet wiring.
- Industrial machinery power connections.
- Motor control equipment and associated wiring.
- Electrical equipment with compatible M6 terminal studs.
- Power supply and electrical control system connections.
- Electrical maintenance and cable replacement work.
- OEM equipment manufacturing and wiring assembly.
- Commercial and industrial electrical installation projects.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Partex PXL16-6 used for?
The Partex PXL16-6 is a copper tube ring terminal used to connect a suitably sized electrical conductor to an M6 stud or bolted electrical terminal using a crimped cable termination.
What cable size is suitable for the Partex PXL16-6?
The PXL16-6 is designed for a nominal conductor cross-section of 16 mm². The conductor construction and dimensions should be checked for compatibility before crimping.
What stud size does the PXL16-6 fit?
The terminal features a ring connection intended for an M6 stud. The mating stud, contact surface and fixing arrangement must be suitable for the electrical connection.
What material is the Partex PXL16-6 made from?
The PXL16-6 is a copper tube ring terminal. Copper provides an electrically conductive path between the terminated conductor and the bolted connection point.
How is the Partex PXL16-6 installed?
The conductor is stripped to the appropriate length, inserted into the tubular barrel and crimped using a suitable tool and die. The ring palm is then secured to the compatible M6 connection point using the equipment manufacturer's recommended tightening procedure.
Can the PXL16-6 be installed using ordinary pliers?
No. A suitable cable lug crimping tool and correctly sized die should be used to produce a consistent mechanical and electrical connection. Ordinary pliers are not an appropriate substitute for a properly specified crimping tool.
How many terminals are supplied in each pack?
Each pack contains 100 Partex PXL16-6 copper tube ring terminals, making the product suitable for panel-building workshops, industrial installation projects and maintenance inventories.
What is the difference between PXL16-6 and a terminal with an M8 stud hole?
The PXL16-6 is intended for a 16 mm² conductor and an M6 stud. A corresponding M8 ring terminal would require a larger stud hole. The terminal must be selected to match both the conductor size and the equipment fixing.
Can the Partex PXL16-6 be reused after crimping?
Crimped cable terminals are generally intended for permanent attachment to the conductor. If a crimped terminal is damaged or must be removed from the cable, it should be replaced rather than attempting to reuse the compressed barrel.
What should be checked before using the PXL16-6?
Confirm the 16 mm² conductor size, conductor material and construction, M6 stud compatibility, correct crimping tool and die, and the electrical equipment's connection requirements before installation.
