Cembre 2180640 A3-L8 90° electrolytically tinned copper compression cable lug for 16 mm² conductors with an M8 fixing hole.
£1.61
The Cembre 2180640, also identified as the Cembre A3-L8, is a premium 90-degree copper tube compression cable lug designed to provide secure, low-resistance terminations for stranded and flexible copper conductors. Its right-angle palm allows efficient cable routing where installation space is restricted while maintaining a dependable bolted electrical connection.
Manufactured from greater than 99.9% pure electrolytic copper tube, the terminal is annealed and electrolytically tinned to improve crimping performance, corrosion resistance and long-term mechanical durability. A chamfered barrel with an inspection hole helps ensure correct conductor insertion before compression, improving installation quality.
Designed for 16 mm² copper conductors and incorporating an M8 fixing hole, the Cembre A3-L8 is widely used in switchgear, industrial control panels, machinery, OEM equipment and electrical distribution systems requiring professional compression terminations.
Compression cable lugs provide a permanent electrical and mechanical connection when installed using correctly matched crimping tools and dies. Their seamless copper construction minimises electrical resistance while delivering excellent resistance to vibration and mechanical stress.
The Cembre A3-L8 right-angle design enables conductors to approach terminals from the side, improving cable management and reducing bending stress within electrical panels, switchgear assemblies and industrial automation equipment.

The Cembre 2180640 provides a secure compression termination for 16 mm² copper conductors where a 90° cable entry is required.
The A3-L8 is designed for nominal 16 mm² copper conductors.
This cable lug incorporates an M8 mounting hole for bolted electrical connections.
The electrolytically tinned finish improves corrosion resistance while maintaining excellent electrical performance over the service life of the installation.
The conductor should be fully inserted into the barrel and compressed using a compatible professional crimping tool and the correct die set recommended for the conductor size.
Cembre compression terminals are trusted by electrical contractors, panel builders and industrial engineers for their exceptional quality, reliable crimping performance and long service life in demanding industrial environments.
