PXL240-16 Partex PXL copper tube ring terminal, 240mm², M16 stud, pack 10

Why Choose the Partex PXL240-16 Copper Tube Ring Terminal?

The Partex PXL240-16 is a heavy-duty copper tube ring terminal designed for secure electrical termination of large cross-section copper conductors. Suitable for 240 mm² copper cables and featuring an M16 stud connection, this crimp cable lug provides a practical connection solution for industrial power distribution systems, electrical switchgear, distribution panels and heavy-duty electrical equipment.

As part of the Partex PXL copper tube terminal range, the PXL240-16 combines a tubular conductor barrel with a closed-ring mounting palm. The barrel accommodates a correctly prepared copper conductor and is designed to form a secure mechanical and electrical connection when compressed using compatible crimping equipment. The ring-shaped palm allows the completed cable termination to be fastened to an appropriately sized threaded stud or bolted connection point.

Supplied in a convenient pack of 10 terminals, the Partex PXL240-16 is suitable for electrical contractors, industrial maintenance engineers, panel builders and equipment manufacturers working with large power cables. Its combination of 240 mm² conductor compatibility and an M16 mounting hole makes it a useful component for professional installations requiring secure, repeatable high-capacity cable terminations.

Secure Crimp Termination for Large Industrial Power Cables

Copper tube ring terminals are commonly used to connect large electrical conductors to distribution equipment, busbars, switchgear and other bolted electrical connection points. A correctly prepared conductor is inserted into the terminal barrel and compressed using a compatible crimping tool and die. This process forms a secure conductor-to-terminal connection that provides mechanical retention and effective electrical contact when properly installed.

The Partex PXL240-16 is intended for 240 mm² copper conductors requiring an M16 mounting connection. The closed-ring palm helps maintain the connection to the equipment stud while the mounting hardware remains secured. This configuration is particularly useful for industrial power distribution assemblies and heavy-duty electrical equipment where large conductors must be terminated securely.

Correct installation requires confirmation of the conductor construction, terminal barrel compatibility and specified crimping method. The conductor should be stripped to the appropriate length, inserted fully into the barrel and compressed using suitable tooling. The completed termination must be checked for mechanical security, with the bolted connection tightened according to the equipment manufacturer's requirements. Any necessary insulation, terminal covers or protective sleeving should be fitted, and the current-carrying suitability of the complete connection should be verified for the application.

For larger conductor sizes such as 240 mm², the correct crimping equipment is especially important. A suitable hydraulic or other manufacturer-approved crimping system may be required, depending on the terminal and conductor specification. Installers should follow the relevant tooling instructions to achieve the required compression profile and connection integrity.
