Why Choose the Partex PXL16-8 Copper Tube Ring Terminal?
The Partex PXL16-8 is a copper tube ring terminal designed for terminating 16 mm² electrical conductors onto compatible M8 stud connections. Supplied in a convenient pack of 100 terminals, this crimp cable lug provides a practical solution for electrical contractors, control panel builders and industrial maintenance engineers requiring secure bolted cable connections.
As part of the Partex PXL copper tube terminal range, the PXL16-8 features a tubular conductor barrel and a ring-shaped mounting palm. The barrel receives a suitably prepared conductor and is compressed using appropriate crimping equipment, while the ring palm allows the terminated cable to be fastened securely to an M8 stud or compatible bolted electrical connection.
With its 16 mm² conductor size, M8 stud fixing and 100-piece pack quantity, the PXL16-8 is suitable for repeated cable termination work in industrial electrical panels, distribution equipment and machinery wiring. Correct conductor preparation, crimping and connection tightening help ensure a dependable electrical and mechanical connection.

Reliable Copper Cable Terminations for Bolted Electrical Connections
The Partex PXL16-8 copper tube ring terminal provides a practical connection between a suitably sized electrical conductor and an M8 bolted terminal point. During installation, the conductor is stripped to the appropriate length, 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 the terminal.
The ring-shaped palm is then secured to the equipment connection point using the appropriate M8 fixing arrangement. Installers should verify conductor compatibility, select the correct crimping tool and die, and follow the electrical equipment manufacturer's tightening requirements. Proper crimp formation, clean contact surfaces and secure bolted fastening are important for maintaining reliable electrical connections.
Typical Applications
- Industrial electrical control panel assembly.
- Low-voltage electrical distribution equipment.
- Switchgear and electrical cabinet wiring.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Partex PXL16-8 used for?
The Partex PXL16-8 is a copper tube ring terminal used to connect a compatible 16 mm² electrical conductor to an M8 stud or bolted terminal using a crimped cable termination.
What cable size is suitable for the Partex PXL16-8?
The PXL16-8 is designed for a nominal conductor cross-section of 16 mm². The conductor material, construction and dimensions should be checked for compatibility before crimping.
What stud size does the PXL16-8 fit?
The PXL16-8 features a ring connection intended for an M8 stud. The stud, contact surface and fixing arrangement must be suitable for the electrical connection.
What material is the Partex PXL16-8 made from?
The PXL16-8 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 PXL16-8 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 M8 connection point using the equipment manufacturer's recommended tightening procedure.
Can the PXL16-8 be crimped 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 properly specified crimping equipment.
How many Partex PXL16-8 terminals are supplied in each pack?
Each pack contains 100 Partex PXL16-8 copper tube ring terminals, making the product suitable for electrical panel-building workshops, installation projects and maintenance stock.
What is the difference between the PXL16-8 and PXL16-6?
Both terminals are intended for 16 mm² conductors, but they have different stud connection sizes. The PXL16-8 is designed for an M8 stud, whereas the PXL16-6 is designed for an M6 stud.
Can the Partex PXL16-8 be reused after crimping?
Crimped cable terminals are generally intended for permanent attachment to the conductor. If a 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 installing the PXL16-8?
Confirm the 16 mm² conductor size, conductor material and construction, M8 stud compatibility, correct crimping tool and die, and the electrical equipment's connection requirements before installation.
