Cembre 2181510 A3B-M8 straight electrolytically tin-plated copper compression terminal for 16 mm² copper conductors with an M8 fixing hole.
£0.75
The Cembre 2181510, also identified as the Cembre A3B-M8, is a premium straight copper compression terminal engineered to provide secure, low-resistance electrical connections for stranded and flexible copper conductors. Designed for demanding industrial environments, it delivers dependable performance in switchgear, electrical panels, machinery and power distribution systems.
Manufactured from high-purity annealed electrolytic copper and finished with an electrolytic tin plating, the terminal combines excellent electrical conductivity with outstanding corrosion resistance and mechanical durability. The seamless barrel incorporates an internal taper and inspection hole to simplify conductor insertion and ensure consistent crimping performance.
Designed for 16 mm² copper conductors and featuring an M8 fixing hole, the Cembre A3B-M8 is ideally suited to industrial control panels, motor control centres, OEM equipment and commercial electrical installations requiring professional compression terminations.
Compression terminals create permanent electrical and mechanical connections when installed using compatible professional crimping tools and correctly matched dies. Their seamless copper construction provides low contact resistance while delivering excellent resistance to vibration and conductor pull-out in demanding industrial environments.
The straight palm configuration is ideal where conductors approach the fixing point directly, providing a compact, reliable termination for switchgear, distribution equipment, industrial machinery and control panels.
