Why Choose the Cembre 2340158 A48-M12/31 Narrow Palm Copper Terminal?
The Cembre 2340158 A48-M12/31 Copper Terminal is a premium non-insulated narrow palm copper compression lug designed for secure, low-resistance electrical terminations in industrial power distribution systems. Part of the proven Cembre A-M Series, it has been specifically developed for installations where reduced terminal space requires a compact palm design without compromising electrical performance.
Manufactured from high-purity electrolytic copper tube and electrolytically tin plated, the A48-M12/31 offers excellent electrical conductivity together with outstanding resistance to corrosion and oxidation. The annealed barrel provides optimum ductility for consistent compression crimping while maintaining exceptional mechanical strength.
Designed for 240 mm² copper conductors, the terminal features an M12 fixing hole, a compact 31 mm narrow palm, flared barrel entry and inspection hole to simplify installation and verify complete conductor insertion before crimping. It is ideally suited for compact low-voltage circuit breakers and switchgear with restricted terminal space.
Key Advantages
Compact narrow palm compression terminal for restricted mounting spaces.
240 mm² conductor capacity for high-current applications.
