  • Ring cable lug | 6mm² | M6 | crimp type | T-6/6 | 010230

    Code: 010230

    T-6/6 is a crimp-type ring cable lug designed for connecting 6 mm² conductors and cables to an M6 bolted connection. The ring design provides a secure mechanical and electrical connection, while the crimp installation method is suitable for electrical installation and equipment wiring. Product code – 010230.

  • Ring cable lug | 6 mm² | M6 | copper, tin-plated | crimp type | T-6/6 | 010230

    Crimp-type ring cable lug T-6/6 designed for connecting a 6 mm² copper conductor to an M6 bolted contact point. The lug is made of high-conductivity electrolytic copper with a tin-plated surface. An inspection hole allows the installer to verify that the conductor has been correctly inserted into the barrel before crimping.

    Key point

    T-6/6 is designed to form a reliable termination on a 6 mm² copper conductor and connect it to an M6 bolted terminal. The conductor is secured inside the lug by crimping, while the ring is attached to the equipment through the M6 fastening point.

    Operating principle

    The insulation is stripped from the end of the copper conductor and the conductor is fully inserted into the metal barrel of the lug. Using a suitable crimping tool and die intended for this type of 6 mm² lug, the barrel is compressed around the conductor to form a mechanically stable electrical connection.

    After crimping, the ring is installed over an M6 bolt or another compatible M6 contact point. The final tightening torque of the bolted connection must be selected according to the requirements of the connected equipment manufacturer.

    What does M6 mean?

    M6 indicates the ring fastening size for an M6 bolt or threaded contact point. It does not indicate the conductor cross-section, crimping die size or a thread inside the lug.

    Technical specifications

    Product type Crimp-type ring cable lug
    Model T-6/6
    Manufacturer code 010230
    Conductor cross-section 6 mm²
    Fastening size M6
    Conductor material Copper (Cu)
    Lug material High-conductivity electrolytic copper
    Surface Tin-plated
    Installation method Crimping
    Inspection hole Yes
    Manufacturer-stated compliance IEC 61238-1-1
    Important: 6 mm² and M6 are different parameters

    6 mm² indicates the nominal conductor cross-section, while M6 indicates the ring fastening size for the bolted contact point. Both parameters must match the intended connection.

    What is the inspection hole used for?

    The inspection hole in the lug barrel allows the installer to visually check whether the conductor has been inserted deeply enough before crimping. This helps reduce the risk of crimping a conductor that has not been fully inserted.

    The inspection hole does not replace the mechanical inspection after crimping. The connection should still be checked for proper crimp quality and secure conductor retention.

    Main functions

    • Designed for a 6 mm² copper conductor.
    • Ring suitable for an M6 fastening point.
    • Installed by crimping.
    • Made of high-conductivity electrolytic copper.
    • Tin-plated surface.
    • Inspection hole for checking conductor insertion.
    • Designed for terminating a cable or wire at a bolted contact point.
    • Manufacturer-stated compliance with IEC 61238-1-1.

    Where is it used?

    • Electrical distribution boards and distribution equipment.
    • Connecting cables and wires to bolted contact points.
    • Control and automation cabinets.
    • Power connections in electrical equipment.
    • Earthing or equipotential bonding connections where the specific installation and project permit it.
    • Repair and refurbishment work.

    Use by requirement

    For electricians
    Suitable for terminating a 6 mm² copper conductor at an M6 bolted contact point.
    For panel builders
    The crimped connection forms a neat and mechanically stable conductor termination before fastening it to the equipment.
    For service and repair work
    Suitable for replacing or renewing 6 mm² copper conductor ring-lug connections where M6 fastening is required.

    Correct installation principle

    1. Check that the nominal conductor cross-section is 6 mm².
    2. Check that the connection point requires an M6 ring fastening.
    3. Strip enough insulation for the conductor to enter the lug barrel fully.
    4. Do not damage or cut conductor strands while removing insulation.
    5. Insert the conductor fully into the lug barrel.
    6. Use the inspection hole to verify that the conductor has been inserted deeply enough.
    7. Crimp using a suitable crimping tool with a die intended for this type of 6 mm² cable lug.
    8. After crimping, check conductor retention and the quality of the crimped area.
    9. Install the ring over the M6 fastening point.
    10. Tighten the bolted connection to the torque specified by the connected equipment manufacturer.
    Important when crimping

    The crimping tool and die must be suitable for the specific 6 mm² ring lug. An incorrect die or insufficient crimp can degrade both the mechanical and electrical quality of the connection.

    What should be checked after crimping?

    The conductor must not move freely or pull out of the barrel. The crimped area should be evenly formed, without cracks, obvious damage or clear signs of under-crimping.

    Also check that the ring contact surface is clean, undamaged and seats correctly against the M6 contact surface.

    Advantages

    • Designed specifically for a 6 mm² copper conductor.
    • M6 ring fastening.
    • High-conductivity electrolytic copper.
    • Tin-plated surface helps reduce surface oxidation of the copper and maintain a suitable contact surface.
    • Inspection hole for checking conductor position.
    • Crimped connection forms a compact conductor termination.
    • IEC 61238-1-1 is stated in the manufacturer’s technical information.

    Limitations

    • Designed for a 6 mm² conductor and should not be used with an incorrect cross-section.
    • This lug is intended for copper conductors; it should not be used with aluminium conductors without explicit manufacturer approval.
    • M6 indicates the fastening size, not the crimping die size.
    • A suitable crimping tool and die are required.
    • The final tightening torque depends on the connected equipment, so one universal torque value should not be assigned to this lug.
    • The conductor cross-section of the lug does not by itself determine the permissible current of the entire circuit.

    Safety and installation notes

    • De-energise the circuit before work and verify absence of voltage.
    • Use only a copper conductor with the correct 6 mm² cross-section.
    • Do not damage conductor strands while stripping insulation.
    • Insert the conductor fully into the barrel before crimping.
    • Use the inspection hole to check conductor insertion.
    • Crimp using a suitable tool and die.
    • After crimping, check the mechanical stability of the connection.
    • Tighten the M6 bolted connection according to the connected equipment manufacturer’s requirements.
    • Electrical installation work should be carried out by qualified personnel.
