Why Choose the Cembre 2396187 CL1-516 Colour-Coded Terminal?
The Cembre 2396187 CL1-516 is a premium colour-coded long barrel copper compression cable terminal engineered to provide secure, low-resistance electrical connections in industrial power distribution, switchgear, control panels and OEM machinery. Manufactured by Cembre, this professional compression lug offers exceptional electrical conductivity together with outstanding long-term mechanical reliability.
Manufactured from greater than 99.9% pure electrolytic copper and electrolytically tin plated, the CL1-516 provides excellent resistance to corrosion while maintaining optimum electrical performance. The annealed long barrel construction improves conductor retention and pull-out strength, whilst the inspection hole allows installers to verify full conductor insertion before crimping. The chamfered barrel entry also enables quick and damage-free cable insertion.
Designed for 1 AWG (50 mm²) copper conductors, this compression terminal features a 5/16 inch (M8 equivalent) stud fixing hole. The long barrel construction provides increased mechanical pull-out strength and reliable compression performance, making it ideal for demanding industrial and utility installations.
