Cembre 2340238 A48-M16/31 narrow palm electrolytic copper compression terminal for 185–240 mm² conductors with M16 fixing hole and 31 mm palm width.
£16.90
The Cembre 2340238 A48-M16/31 Copper Terminal is a premium non-insulated narrow palm copper compression terminal engineered for secure, low-resistance electrical terminations in industrial power distribution, switchgear and low-voltage circuit breaker applications. As part of the trusted Cembre A-M Series, it has been specifically developed for installations where restricted terminal space requires a reduced palm width without compromising current carrying capability.
Manufactured from high-purity electrolytic copper (Cu-OF CW008A) and electrolytically tin plated, the terminal delivers exceptional electrical conductivity together with excellent protection against corrosion and oxidation. The annealed barrel construction ensures reliable compression crimping and outstanding mechanical strength throughout the service life.
Designed for 185–240 mm² flexible copper conductors, the A48-M16/31 features an M16 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 ideal for compact LV circuit breakers and switchgear assemblies.
The Cembre A48-M16/31 has been specifically developed for compact low-voltage circuit breakers and switchgear where conventional cable lugs are too wide. The narrow palm enables easier installation while maintaining excellent mechanical strength and electrical performance for demanding industrial applications.
Its precision-manufactured electrolytic copper body, annealed barrel and professional compression crimp design provide dependable long-term electrical performance with minimal contact resistance.
