Why Choose the Cembre CA185-M16-2M Copper Ring Terminal?
The Cembre CA185-M16-2M (Part Number: 8005590) is a premium-quality high-voltage copper compression ring terminal designed for secure, low-resistance conductor termination in medium-voltage electrical installations. Manufactured from high-purity annealed electrolytic copper with an electrolytic tin-plated finish, it delivers excellent electrical conductivity together with exceptional resistance to corrosion, ensuring reliable long-term performance in demanding environments.
Part of the proven Cembre CA-2M series, this terminal incorporates an extended palm with two M16 fixing holes spaced at 44.5 mm centres, providing superior mechanical stability and improved current transfer. The closed barrel construction eliminates the inspection hole, preventing moisture ingress into the crimped connection for enhanced service life.
Designed for 185 mm² stranded copper conductors, the CA185-M16-2M is suitable for medium-voltage electrical systems operating up to 33 kV. It is widely specified for substations, switchgear, transformers, renewable energy installations and industrial power distribution infrastructure.
