Cembre 2181500 A3B-M6 straight electrolytically tin-plated copper compression terminal for 16 mm² copper conductors with an M6 fixing hole.
£0.96
The Cembre 2181500, also identified as the Cembre A3B-M6, is a high-quality straight copper compression terminal designed to provide secure, low-resistance electrical connections for stranded and flexible copper conductors. Manufactured for demanding industrial environments, it delivers dependable performance in electrical panels, machinery and power distribution systems.
Manufactured from high-conductivity electrolytic copper, the terminal is annealed to maximise ductility during crimping and electrolytically tin-plated to improve corrosion resistance. This combination ensures excellent electrical conductivity, strong mechanical performance and long service life even in applications subject to vibration.
The Cembre A3B-M6 is designed for 16 mm² copper conductors and features an M6 fixing hole, making it ideal for industrial control panels, switchgear, OEM equipment, motor control centres and commercial electrical installations requiring professional compression terminations.
Compression terminals create a permanent electrical and mechanical connection when installed using the correct professional crimping tool and die set. The seamless copper barrel provides low contact resistance while maintaining excellent resistance to vibration and conductor pull-out.
The straight palm configuration is ideal for applications where cables approach terminals directly, providing a compact and reliable solution for electrical panels, switchgear and industrial machinery.

The Cembre 2181500 is used to create a professional compression termination on 16 mm² copper conductors using an M6 bolted connection.
The terminal is designed for 16 mm² copper conductors.
The Cembre A3B-M6 features an M6 mounting hole for secure bolted electrical connections.
The electrolytically tin-plated finish improves corrosion resistance while maintaining excellent electrical conductivity over the life of the installation.
The conductor should be fully inserted into the barrel and compressed using a compatible professional crimping tool and correctly matched die set for the conductor size.
Cembre compression terminals are trusted by electrical contractors, panel builders and industrial engineers for their high-quality construction, reliable crimp performance and long-term durability in demanding industrial environments.
