Cembre 2492745 C185-C185ST tinned copper compression C-sleeve connector for permanent joining of large copper conductors in industrial power distribution, grounding and utility applications.
£23.70
The Cembre 2492745 is a heavy-duty tinned copper C-sleeve connector (model C185-C185ST) designed to create secure, permanent compression joints between large copper conductors. Manufactured by Cembre, this connector is ideal for industrial power distribution, earthing systems, substations, overhead line tapping and utility infrastructure.
Manufactured from annealed high-purity electrolytic copper with an electrolytic tin-plated finish, the connector delivers outstanding electrical conductivity together with excellent corrosion resistance. The annealing process improves compression performance while providing a durable, vibration-resistant electrical connection when installed using compatible Cembre compression tooling.
The C185-C185ST connector is designed for 120–185 mm² main conductors with 120–185 mm² branch conductors, making it suitable for high-current industrial, utility and infrastructure installations requiring dependable long-term performance.
Compression C-sleeve connectors create permanent conductor joints by forming a high-pressure mechanical and electrical bond. This minimises contact resistance while providing excellent current carrying capability and long-term mechanical reliability in demanding electrical installations.
The Cembre C-series is widely specified for industrial installations, grounding systems, overhead distribution networks and underground cable infrastructure where dependable conductor connections are essential for safe operation.
