Why Choose the Cembre 2281050 A24-L12 90° Copper Compression Terminal?
The Cembre 2281050 (A24-L12) is a premium-quality 90° bent tinned copper compression terminal designed to provide secure, low-resistance electrical terminations for 120 mm² stranded copper conductors. Manufactured from greater than 99.9% pure electrolytic copper, it delivers exceptional electrical conductivity, high mechanical strength and long-term reliability for demanding industrial and power distribution applications.
Part of the trusted Cembre A-L Series, this 90° compression terminal is annealed for optimum crimping performance and electrolytically tin plated to improve corrosion resistance. The chamfered barrel and inspection hole simplify conductor insertion and help ensure a correct, repeatable crimp every time. It is specifically designed for professional electrical installations requiring dependable long-term performance.
Designed for 120 mm² Class 2 stranded copper conductors with an M12 fixing hole, the Cembre 2281050 is ideal where installation space is limited. The angled palm improves cable routing while maintaining a secure mechanical and electrical connection in switchgear, control panels, substations and industrial machinery.
