Why Choose the Partex PXP16 Copper Flat Pin Connector?
The Partex PXP16 is a copper flat pin connector designed for terminating 16 mm² electrical conductors in compatible electrical terminal connections. Supplied in a convenient pack of 100 connectors, it provides a practical cable termination solution for electrical contractors, control panel manufacturers, equipment builders and industrial maintenance professionals.
As part of the Partex PXP copper flat pin connector range, the PXP16 combines a conductor termination section with a flat pin contact. The conductor is secured to the connector using appropriately selected crimping equipment, while the flat pin is designed for insertion into a compatible receiving terminal. This arrangement provides an alternative to ring and fork terminals where equipment requires a flat pin connection.
With its 16 mm² nominal conductor size, copper construction and 100-piece pack quantity, the PXP16 is suitable for repetitive electrical wiring, cable preparation and equipment assembly tasks. Correct conductor preparation, crimping and receiving terminal compatibility are essential for achieving a secure electrical connection.
Key Advantages

Secure Flat Pin Connections for Electrical Wiring and Equipment
The Partex PXP16 copper flat pin connector provides a means of terminating a compatible 16 mm² electrical conductor for connection to equipment with a suitable flat pin terminal interface. During installation, the conductor is stripped to the appropriate length, inserted into the connector's termination section and secured using compatible crimping equipment. A correctly formed crimp establishes the electrical and mechanical connection between the conductor and connector.
The flat pin contact is then inserted into the compatible receiving terminal and secured according to the equipment manufacturer's instructions. Unlike a ring terminal, which is fitted over a stud or bolt, the flat pin connector is intended for terminal arrangements designed to accept a flat contact. Installers should verify conductor compatibility, pin dimensions, receiving terminal suitability and crimping requirements before installation.
Typical Applications
- Industrial electrical control panel wiring.
- Electrical distribution equipment with compatible flat pin terminals.
- Industrial machinery and equipment electrical connections.
- Control cabinet and electrical enclosure assembly.
- Power supply terminal connections.
- Industrial automation equipment wiring.
- OEM electrical equipment manufacturing.
- Electrical installation and cable termination projects.
- Maintenance and replacement of compatible electrical connections.
- Workshop cable preparation and electrical assembly.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Partex PXP16 used for?
The Partex PXP16 is a copper flat pin connector used to terminate a compatible 16 mm² electrical conductor for connection to equipment featuring a suitable flat pin terminal interface.
What conductor size does the Partex PXP16 accommodate?
The PXP16 is designed for a nominal conductor cross-section of 16 mm². The conductor material, construction and dimensions should also be checked for compatibility before installation.
What material is the Partex PXP16 made from?
The PXP16 is a copper flat pin connector. Copper provides an electrically conductive path between the terminated conductor and the compatible receiving terminal.
What is the difference between a flat pin connector and a ring terminal?
A flat pin connector features a flat contact designed for insertion into a compatible receiving terminal, whereas a ring terminal features a circular fixing hole for a stud or bolted connection. The correct connector depends on the equipment's terminal arrangement.
How is the Partex PXP16 installed?
The conductor is stripped to the appropriate length and secured to the connector using compatible crimping equipment. The flat pin is then inserted into the suitable receiving terminal and secured according to the equipment manufacturer's installation instructions.
What crimping tool should be used with the PXP16?
A crimping tool and die compatible with the 16 mm² conductor and the PXP16 terminal construction should be used. The correct crimping method should be confirmed against the connector and tool manufacturers' instructions.
Can the PXP16 be used with any screw terminal?
Not necessarily. The receiving terminal must be designed to accept the connector's flat pin dimensions and contact configuration. Terminal compatibility should be verified before installation.
How many Partex PXP16 connectors are supplied in each pack?
Each pack contains 100 Partex PXP16 copper flat pin connectors, making the product suitable for electrical panel-building workshops, installation projects and maintenance inventories.
What is the difference between the Partex PXP16 and PXP10?
Both products are copper flat pin connectors, but they are designed for different conductor sizes. The PXP16 is intended for 16 mm² conductors, whereas the PXP10 is intended for 10 mm² conductors. The correct connector should be selected according to conductor size and receiving terminal compatibility.
Can the Partex PXP16 be reused after crimping?
Crimped electrical connectors are generally intended for permanent attachment to the conductor. If the connector is damaged or must be removed from the cable, it should be replaced rather than attempting to reuse the compressed termination.
What should be checked before installing the Partex PXP16?
Confirm the 16 mm² conductor size, conductor material and construction, receiving terminal compatibility, flat pin dimensions, correct crimping equipment and the electrical equipment manufacturer's installation requirements.
