Why Choose the Cembre Z16-5ND 2844123 Terminal Block?
The Cembre Z16-5ND 2844123 is a robust 5-way single-pole terminal block designed for reliable conductor connection and distribution in industrial and domestic electrical systems. Part of the Cembre Z16 series, it uses indirect screw clamping and has a nominal conductor section of 16 mm², providing a secure connection for demanding electrical installations.
The Z16-5ND accepts conductor cross-sections from 1.5–16 mm² and provides five connection ways, making it suitable for distributing a common electrical potential between several conductors. Its captive slotted screws and easy-insertion design simplify installation, while the indirect clamping arrangement provides dependable conductor retention without the screw acting directly on the conductor.
Rated for 100 A operation at up to 450 V, the Z16-5ND is supplied with a steel DIN-rail attachment for straightforward panel installation. Its transparent polycarbonate insulating body provides IP20 protection, a UL 94 V-0 self-extinguishing classification and a maximum operating temperature of 85 °C.

Reliable Electrical Connections and Potential Distribution
Single-pole terminal blocks such as the Cembre Z16-5ND provide a convenient common connection point for conductors within electrical distribution and control systems. The five-way arrangement enables several conductors to be connected to the same electrical potential while maintaining an organised and accessible wiring layout.
The Z16 series uses indirect clamping, with the clamping element applying controlled pressure to the conductor rather than the screw bearing directly against it. Combined with captive screws, a durable polycarbonate housing and DIN-rail mounting, this design provides a practical solution for reliable distribution connections in control panels, switchboards and electrical equipment.
Typical Applications
- Industrial control panels and switchboards.
- Electrical power distribution assemblies.
- Equipotential bonding and distribution connections.
- Industrial machinery and automation systems.
- Building electrical installations.
- Electrical distribution boards.
- Panel building and OEM electrical equipment.
- Maintenance and retrofit electrical installations.
