Cembre 2162490 S2.5-U4 non-insulated electrolytic copper fork terminal for 1.5-2.5 mm² conductors with a U4 (M4) fork connection.
£0.16
The Cembre 2162490 is a premium non-insulated fork terminal designed to provide secure, removable electrical terminations for copper conductors in industrial and commercial applications. Manufactured by Cembre, this professional-grade terminal combines high-purity electrolytic copper with precision engineering to deliver outstanding electrical conductivity, excellent mechanical strength and dependable long-term reliability.
Designed for 1.5–2.5 mm² (16–14 AWG) conductors, the terminal features a U4 (M4) fork opening and is supplied as the S2.5-U4 variant. The brazed seam barrel with internal knurling improves conductor retention and pull-out strength, while the electrolytic tin-plated finish provides excellent corrosion resistance for demanding industrial environments.
Suitable for professional compression crimping, the Cembre 2162490 is widely used by panel builders, OEM manufacturers and maintenance engineers in electrical control panels, industrial machinery, switchgear and automation systems where reliable screw-terminal connections are required.
Fork terminals provide secure screw-terminal connections while allowing conductors to be removed without completely removing the fixing screw. When correctly crimped using professional tooling, they provide dependable long-term electrical performance and excellent vibration resistance.
Cembre S-Series terminals are manufactured from electrolytic copper with a purity greater than 99.9%. Their brazed seam construction, annealing process and electrolytic tin plating maximise conductivity, corrosion resistance and mechanical durability, while the internally knurled barrel improves conductor grip and pull-out resistance.
