Why Choose the Cembre 2180150 A3-M6 Copper Tube Crimping Lug?
The Cembre 2180150, manufacturer reference A3-M6, is a premium copper tube crimping lug designed for terminating 16 mm² stranded copper conductors onto electrical equipment using an M6 fixing stud. As part of the proven Cembre A-M series, this non-insulated ring terminal provides a secure, low-resistance electrical connection for industrial power distribution, machinery, switchgear and control panel applications.
Manufactured from high-purity electrolytic copper, the lug is fully annealed to provide optimum ductility during compression. Its electrolytic tin-plated finish protects against oxidation and corrosion while maintaining excellent electrical conductivity throughout the service life of the installation.
The A3-M6 features a chamfered cable entry together with an integrated inspection hole, allowing easy conductor insertion and visual confirmation that the conductor has been fully inserted before crimping. Precision-engineered dimensions ensure dependable electrical performance and excellent resistance to vibration in demanding industrial environments.
