Why Choose the Cembre 2508700 Compression Cable Lug?
The Cembre 2508700 is a premium heavy-duty tin-plated copper two-hole compression cable lug engineered for secure, low-resistance electrical terminations in demanding industrial, utility and medium-voltage power applications. Manufactured by Cembre, this connector delivers exceptional electrical conductivity, outstanding mechanical strength and long-term reliability for critical power installations.
Part of the proven Cembre 2A-2M Heavy Duty series, the 2508700 (series reference 2A60-2M12) is manufactured from high-purity electrolytic copper with an electro-tinned finish to resist atmospheric corrosion. Its extra-long barrel maximises conductor contact, while the two-hole palm provides superior mechanical stability and resistance to vibration for high-current connections.
Designed for 300 mm² copper conductors, the lug features dual M12 fixing holes with a 44.5 mm hole centre spacing, making it ideal for switchgear, transformers, substations, industrial control panels and heavy-duty power distribution systems.
44.5 mm stud centre spacing for industry-standard equipment.
Long barrel construction for superior crimp performance.
Excellent electrical conductivity with low contact resistance.
High resistance to vibration and mechanical stress.
Suitable for industrial and medium-voltage installations.
