KCS Pipe Terminals – Tin-free solution for copper conductors

The KCS pipe terminal is an element used to create a solid and durable termination for stranded copper conductors. Made of un-tinned copper, it provides excellent electrical and mechanical connection. Model KCS 10-185-N/1 is dedicated to conductors with a cross-section of 185 mm², terminated with an M10 screw. The "N" version indicates a made-to-order execution, without tinning – which is important in specific applications where zinc may be undesirable.

Construction and application

KCS terminals are characterized by a construction that ensures optimal compression of the conductor strand, which translates to low connection resistance and minimizes the risk of overheating. They are widely used in electrical installations, control cabinets, switchboards, and anywhere a reliable and durable connection of copper conductors is required. The connection angle is 180 degrees (horizontal), which facilitates cable routing in tight spaces. An inspection hole (available in the KCS-K version) allows for visual verification of correct crimping.

Key features and benefits

• Un-tinned copper: provides high electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance, and the absence of tin eliminates potential problems related to its migration or reactions with other materials.
• Cross-section 185 mm²: ideally suited for conductors with a large diameter, allowing for safe transmission of large currents.
• M10 thread: ensures compatibility with a wide range of connectors and electrical devices.
• Precise execution: guarantees an exact fit to the conductor strand and a stable mechanical connection.
• Compatibility with crimping tools: dedicated tools include PR 240, HR 300, GU 300, GO 300 and EP 300 – ensuring professional installation.
• Lightweight construction: the weight of a single terminal is only about 109 grams, making it easier for installers to work when installing a large number of connections.
• Made-to-order execution: the possibility of ordering a version without tinning (marked with "N") allows you to adapt the product to individual project needs.

KCS pipe terminals are a proven choice for both professional installers and end-users looking for reliable and durable solutions in the field of electrical connections. Solid construction and precise execution guarantee the safety and long-term operation of the electrical installation.
