Unsoldered pipe end KCS 8-16-N/1 KCS_8-16-N/1

Pipe ends for copper pipes – tin-free

This KCS pipe end, designed for multi-strand copper cables, is a solid solution for electrical installations. Made of un-tinned copper, it ensures a durable and safe connection of the wires. Model KCS_8-16-N/1 is dedicated to conductors with a cross-section of 16 mm², working with an M8 screw. The lack of tinning in this version (marked with "N") means that it is made to order, allowing for adaptation to specific project requirements.

Construction and application

The KCS end is characterized by a construction that provides a reliable mechanical and electrical connection. Its shape allows for easy installation and ensures optimal pressure distribution on the conductor. The purpose of these types of ends is primarily the termination of wires in junction boxes, distribution boards, and when connecting to various elements of the electrical installation. A connection angle of 180° (horizontal) makes it easier to route cables in tight spaces.

Installation and compatibility

A number of tools can be used to crimp this end, including popular models such as R 50, PR 50, PR 120, PR 240, HR 100-U, H120S-U, GU 120, HR 300, GU 300, GO 300, and EP 300, PP 19. The weight of a single end is approximately 10.22 g. The availability of a version with a control hole (marked KCS-K) allows for visual verification of the correct crimp. When choosing the un-tinned version ("N"), it is worth remembering to properly protect the connection against corrosion in the event of an aggressive environment.
