Why Choose the Cembre 2162730 Non-Insulated Copper Fork Terminal?

The Cembre 2162730, also referenced as S2.5-U10, is a premium non-insulated copper fork terminal designed to provide secure, low-resistance electrical terminations for stranded copper conductors. Manufactured from high-purity electrolytic copper with a corrosion-resistant tin-plated finish, it delivers outstanding electrical conductivity and long-term reliability for industrial and commercial electrical installations.

Designed for professional electricians, panel builders and OEM machine manufacturers, the terminal incorporates a brazed seam barrel for excellent mechanical strength together with an internally rifled barrel that improves conductor grip and electrical contact during crimping. The open fork configuration enables quick installation and maintenance without completely removing the fixing bolt.

Suitable for 1.5–2.5 mm² (16–14 AWG) conductors and a 3/8" (approximately 10 mm) stud, the Cembre 2162730 is ideal for switchgear, control panels, industrial machinery, power distribution equipment and automation systems requiring dependable cable terminations.
