DAS Company is an authorized Kardeş Elektrik distribution partner, supplying the complete Kardeş Elektrik portfolio — SKP series 99.95% electrolytic copper cable lugs (10–400 mm²), Kraus & Naimer cam switches, Schlegel control units and emergency stop buttons, EFEN fuse switches and HRC blade fuses, IBOCO wiring ducts and accessories, Hellermann Tyton cable ties and INSET spiral hoses — to panel builders, electrical contractors and industrial maintenance engineers across Europe from our Bulgaria distribution base.
Kardeş Elektrik San. ve Tic. A.Ş., founded in Istanbul, Turkey in 1963 by Electrical Engineer Ünal Kardeş, has over 60 years of experience in the electromechanical components sector — manufacturing own-brand cable lugs and automotive carbon brushes (MEGA brand) while representing internationally recognised European electromechanical manufacturers in Turkey. Operating from an 11,000 m² facility in Arnavutköy, Istanbul, Kardeş Elektrik manufactures Kraus & Naimer cam switches under licence alongside the SKP cable lug range, and serves as the authorised Turkish distributor for EFEN (Germany), IBOCO (Italy), Hellermann Tyton, Schlegel, INSET and BORN. Kardeş Elektrik products include own-manufactured items (SKP cable lugs, cam switches, MEGA carbon brushes) and represented European brands — providing panel builders and electrical contractors a single-source supply for a broad range of panel assembly, cable management and electrical connection accessories from one established distributor.
Kardeş SKP cable lugs are manufactured from 99.95% Cu-ETP electrolytic copper tube in compliance with EN 13600 copper material standards — the same copper purity standard used by Cembre and Klauke for their premium European-manufactured cable lugs. Available in standard DIN 46235 profiles from 10 mm² to 400 mm² in copper, covering the complete range of low-voltage power cable termination applications in industrial and commercial panels. Kardeş Elektrik was the company that introduced the concept of "correct lugs — proper dies" to the Turkish market — recommending specific crimping die sets for each SKP lug series to ensure correct crimp geometry and contact resistance compliance, an approach now standard across premium cable lug manufacturers. SKP lugs are available in standard metric bolt hole sizes (M6 to M16) and special profiles for specific equipment terminal pads. As a company that won the **second prize in Industrial Design from TAYSAD**, Kardeş Elektrik invests in connector geometry optimisation alongside raw material quality — providing measurable electrical conductivity performance versus lower-specification cable lugs at comparable pricing.
Kraus & Naimer (Vienna, Austria, founded 1924) is the specialist manufacturer of cam switches (rotary selector switches) for motor control, ammeter selector, voltmeter selector and change-over switching applications in industrial panels and MV/HV circuit breaker control circuits. Kardeş Elektrik manufactures Kraus & Naimer cam switches under licence at its Istanbul facility and serves as the authorised Kraus & Naimer representative in Turkey — providing the complete KNV range including the CA series (panel-mount, up to 250A, IP65), CG series (DIN-rail and flush panel, smaller frames for compact panels) and special cam switch configurations for transformer tap selection, MV disconnector motor drive control and generator changeover. Kraus & Naimer cam switches use a patented double-break contact system providing the highest contact separation distance in the cam switch market — delivering superior isolation and arc extinction compared to single-break designs for high-reliability motor isolation and test switch applications.
Schlegel (Germany) control units and emergency stop buttons provide the human-machine interface components for industrial control panels — covering emergency stop pushbuttons (EN ISO 13850, mushroom head, 40 mm and 60 mm heads, key-release and pull-release variants), selector switches, pushbuttons, indicator lights and modular 22 mm and 30 mm format operators. Schlegel emergency stop buttons are the standard specification in Central and Eastern European machine safety panel applications — recognised by safety engineers for reliable positive-opening contact mechanism performance over the 100,000 operating cycle minimum required by EN 60947-5-5 for emergency stop devices. Schlegel products are stocked and distributed through Kardeş Elektrik across Turkey and through DAS Company for the Balkan and Eastern European market.
EFEN GmbH (Neuwied, Germany, founded 1879) manufactures HRC (High Rupturing Capacity) fuse switches, fuse disconnectors and blade-type fuse links for LV panel circuit protection from 2A to 1,250A. The EFEN NH (German HRC) fuse switch range covers gG/gL (general purpose overcurrent) and aM (motor protection) fuse link types in NH000, NH00, NH1, NH2, NH3 and NH4 fuse bases — providing the high breaking capacity (up to 120 kA) short-circuit protection that standard MCBs cannot achieve at high fault-current panel locations close to transformer secondaries. EFEN fuse switch disconnectors provide the visible isolation function required by IEC 60364-4-46 alongside overcurrent protection — replacing MCBs and separate isolators with a single device in main incoming and sub-distribution panel applications where the isolation function is as important as the protection function.
IBOCO (Italy) wiring ducts and cable trunking provide the DIN-rail panel cable management system for organising and protecting internal panel wiring from terminal blocks, relays and circuit breakers to the panel cable entry. The IBOCO T-1 (slotted sides, standard panel duct) and T-2 (solid sides, for panel wiring where cable protection from cut duct edges is required) series are the standard specification for European industrial panel wiring duct — available in 25×25 mm to 100×100 mm cross-sections in grey PVC for DIN-rail panel standard depth and width configurations. IBOCO accessories (end caps, connectors, covers and corner pieces) complete the panel duct system for professional panel finishing. IBOCO ducts are halogen-free and self-extinguishing (V0 inflammability class) for compliance with EN 50085 cable trunking standards in industrial panel applications.
Hellermann Tyton cable ties and cable management accessories (nylon PA66, -40°C to +85°C standard, UV-stabilised for outdoor use, stainless steel for high-temperature and ATEX applications) cover the complete range of cable bundling, cable labelling and cable routing accessories for panel assembly and site cable installation. INSET spiral hoses and couplings provide flexible cable protection for machine-mounted cable runs, robot arm cabling and moving mechanical connections — the split spiral hose format enabling installation onto pre-wired cable bundles without disconnecting cable terminations.
The MEGA brand (manufactured by Kardeş Elektrik, listed in the TecDoc global motor vehicle spare parts catalogue) covers carbon brushes, brush holders and starter solenoids for automotive applications — DC motor carbon brushes for alternators, starter motors, power window motors and wiper motors across European and Asian vehicle platforms. The MEGA range is also available for industrial DC motor brush replacement in forklift traction motors, industrial fans, crane hoist motors and battery-powered industrial equipment. MEGA products are cross-referenced in the TecDoc catalogue — enabling electrical wholesalers and automotive parts distributors to supply MEGA carbon brushes alongside conventional spare parts from a unified ordering platform.
