Why Choose the Cembre 2290230 A29-M8 Copper Compression Terminal?
The Cembre 2290230 (A29-M8) is a premium copper compression ring terminal designed to provide safe, low-resistance termination of 150 mm² stranded copper conductors. Manufactured from annealed electrolytic copper with a purity exceeding 99.9% and finished with electrolytic tin plating, it delivers exceptional electrical conductivity, corrosion resistance and long-term reliability in demanding industrial environments.
Part of the trusted Cembre A-M Series, this compression lug features an M8 fixing hole and a long, chamfered barrel with an inspection hole to ensure full conductor insertion before crimping. The annealing and tinning process improves ductility while increasing resistance to mechanical stress during installation and service.
Designed for industrial switchgear, control panels, power distribution equipment and OEM machinery, the Cembre 2290230 provides dependable electrical performance wherever high-current copper conductors require secure termination.
