Why Choose the Cembre 2160790 S1.5-U5 Fork Terminal?
The Cembre 2160790 S1.5-U5 Fork Terminal is a premium-quality non-insulated copper crimp fork terminal designed to provide secure, low-resistance electrical connections for industrial control panels, switchgear, machinery and automation equipment. Manufactured by Cembre, this professional-grade terminal delivers outstanding electrical conductivity, excellent mechanical strength and long service life in demanding industrial environments.
Manufactured from high-purity 99.95% electrolytic copper with a durable electrolytically tin-plated finish, the terminal provides excellent corrosion resistance while maintaining optimum electrical performance. Its brazed seam barrel, annealed construction and internal knurling improve conductor retention and ensure a durable crimp capable of withstanding vibration and mechanical stress.
Designed for 0.25–1.5 mm² copper conductors and featuring an M5 fork connection, the 2160790 enables quick installation and servicing because the fixing screw only needs to be loosened rather than completely removed. It is ideal for OEM machinery, industrial control panels and power distribution equipment.
