Why Choose the Cembre 2054970 GF-U16 Fork Terminal?

The Cembre 2054970 GF-U16 is a professional-quality pre-insulated fork terminal designed to create secure and dependable electrical connections for copper conductors. Manufactured for demanding industrial and commercial installations, this terminal combines a tin-plated electrolytic copper connector with durable yellow PVC insulation.

Its open fork design allows the terminal to be fitted beneath a suitable screw or stud without completely removing the fastener. This can simplify installation, inspection and maintenance in control panels, machinery and power distribution equipment. The funnel-shaped cable entry also helps guide conductor strands into the terminal before crimping.

Designed for 4–6 mm² copper cables and an M16 screw connection, the Cembre GF-U16 provides strong mechanical retention and efficient electrical conductivity. Its PVC insulation is self-extinguishing to UL 94 V0, while the terminal is manufactured in accordance with recognised UL 486A-486B and UL 486C requirements.

Key Advantages

  • Reliable pre-insulated fork terminal for copper conductors.
  • Suitable for 4–6 mm² cable cross-sections.

Secure Electrical Connections for Professional Installations

Fork terminals provide a practical method of terminating stranded copper cables onto compatible screws, studs and terminal points. The open-ended fork can be positioned beneath a loosened fastener, reducing the need to remove the screw completely and helping installers complete wiring and maintenance tasks efficiently.

The Cembre GF-U16 is designed to deliver a durable crimped connection when installed with a suitable professional crimping tool. Its annealed, tin-plated copper body supports conductivity and mechanical strength, while the insulated sleeve helps protect the connection and reduce the risk of accidental contact.
