PXL185-14 Partex PXL copper tube ring terminal, 185mm², M14 stud, pack 10

Why Choose the Partex PXL185-14 Copper Tube Ring Terminal?

The Partex PXL185-14 is a robust copper tube ring terminal designed for secure termination of large copper conductors in industrial power distribution systems, electrical switchgear and heavy-duty electrical installations. Part of the Partex PXL copper tube terminal range, this cable lug provides a practical solution for creating reliable crimped connections between power cables and compatible bolted electrical terminals.

Designed for 185 mm² copper conductors, the PXL185-14 combines a tubular crimp barrel with a closed-ring connection palm featuring an M14 stud fixing. Its copper construction supports efficient electrical conductivity, while the compression crimping design enables a secure mechanical and electrical connection when installed using an appropriately selected crimping tool and matching die.

Supplied in a convenient pack of 10 terminals, the Partex PXL185-14 is suitable for professional electrical contractors, switchgear manufacturers, industrial maintenance teams and panel builders working with larger power cables. Its combination of a 185 mm² conductor size and M14 ring connection makes it particularly useful for connecting substantial copper conductors to compatible busbars, power distribution equipment and industrial electrical terminals.

Reliable Crimp Terminations for Large Copper Power Cables

Larger copper conductors require correctly selected termination components to establish secure connections within electrical distribution equipment. The Partex PXL185-14 provides a tubular copper barrel designed for terminating 185 mm² copper conductors, helping establish a mechanically secure and electrically conductive connection when the appropriate installation procedure is followed.

During installation, the conductor insulation should be stripped to the correct length without damaging the copper strands. The prepared conductor is inserted fully into the terminal barrel before an appropriately selected compression crimping tool and matching die are used to form the connection. Correct crimp positioning, tool selection and conductor compatibility are important for achieving consistent electrical contact and mechanical retention. The completed termination should be inspected in accordance with the applicable installation requirements.

The M14 ring connection allows the terminated cable to be attached to compatible threaded studs, busbar connection points and equipment terminals. The closed-ring palm provides positive mechanical retention beneath the fixing hardware, making the terminal suitable for electrical assemblies where secure bolted connections are required. Appropriate contact surface preparation, connection hardware and manufacturer-specified tightening torque help maintain connection reliability throughout service.
