Why Choose the Cembre 2170350 A2-M16 Copper Ring Terminal?
The Cembre 2170350, also designated as the Cembre A2-M16, is a high-quality non-insulated copper compression ring terminal designed to terminate 10 mm² copper conductors onto M16 threaded studs. As part of the established Cembre A-M copper tube terminal series, it provides a secure, low-resistance connection for industrial control panels, switchgear, power distribution equipment and electrical machinery.
Manufactured from high-purity electrolytic copper tube, the terminal delivers excellent electrical conductivity and mechanical strength. Its annealed construction provides the ductility required to withstand compression during crimping, while the electrolytic tin-plated surface helps protect the copper against oxidation and corrosion.
With a 10 mm² nominal conductor capacity and an M16 ring connection, the Cembre 2170350 is suitable for larger studs, bolts and equipment terminals. The chamfered barrel entry simplifies conductor insertion, while the integrated inspection hole allows installers to confirm correct cable positioning before completing the crimp.
Key Advantages
Professional compression ring terminal for copper conductors.
10 mm² conductor capacity for industrial electrical installations.
M16 stud compatibility for secure bolted connections.
Annealed construction supports reliable compression and mechanical strength.
Electrolytic tin plating improves resistance to oxidation and corrosion.
Key Features
Cembre A-M copper ring terminal series.
Manufacturer part number: 2170350.
Terminal designation: A2-M16.
10 mm² / 8 AWG conductor compatibility.
M16 stud and bolt connection.
Chamfered barrel for easier conductor insertion.

Reliable Copper Cable Termination for Industrial Installations
Compression ring terminals create permanent electrical connections by mechanically compressing the terminal barrel around the conductor strands. A correctly completed crimp provides excellent electrical continuity, strong pull-out resistance and dependable performance in installations exposed to vibration, temperature changes and continuous electrical loads.
The Cembre A-M series is engineered for electrical contractors, panel builders and industrial engineers who require repeatable termination quality. Its annealed copper construction, chamfered entry and inspection hole simplify installation while helping ensure secure and consistent connections when used with a compatible professional crimping tool and die.
Typical Applications
Industrial control panels and electrical cabinets.
Switchgear and power distribution assemblies.
Motor control centres and industrial motor connections.
OEM machinery and factory automation equipment.
Busbar, transformer and equipment-terminal connections.
Industrial maintenance and electrical installation projects.
