GUSTAV KLAUKE GMBH KLAU Compression Cable Lug 103R10 16mm² M10 DIN 46235

When terminating fine-stranded copper conductors up to 16 mm², a loose or poorly crimped connection can lead to overheating, voltage drop, and even fire. The KLAU Compression Cable Lug 103R10 solves this by providing a gas-tight, cold-welded crimp connection that meets the stringent requirements of DIN 46235. Its tin-plated electrolytic copper construction ensures excellent conductivity and corrosion resistance, making it ideal for industrial, energy, and building installations.

Who is it for

This cable lug is intended for electricians, panel builders, and maintenance technicians who need reliable, standard-compliant terminations for copper conductors. It is suitable for fine-stranded and multi-stranded conductors (Class 2, 5, 6 according to VDE 0295) in power distribution, control cabinets, and machinery where a durable, low-resistance connection is critical.

Tips

Always use a crimping tool that matches the lug size and conductor cross-section to achieve a gas-tight connection. Before crimping, ensure the conductor is fully inserted into the barrel and visible through the inspection hole. For outdoor or harsh environments, consider additional sealing or insulation if required by local codes.
