Elpress Copper Tube Narrow Palm Lugs (KRFS)

Elpress Copper Tube Narrow Palm Lugs (KRFS) are designed to fit even the most confined spaces and available in sizes from 50-400 mm².

In order to enable installation in confined areas, the terminal palm on a KRFS connection has a smaller surface area than a KRF standard connection.

The palm has the same or smaller width as the tube diameter, enabling pre-installation of terminals through cable glands.

Furthermore, they are cost efficient solutions, fitting the reduced space inside the panels and reducing the material used!!
