Why Choose the Cembre 2180620 A3-L5 90° Copper Tube Cable Lug?
The Cembre 2180620, also identified as the Cembre A3-L5, is a high-quality 90-degree copper tube cable lug designed for terminating flexible and stranded copper conductors. Its right-angle palm provides a practical connection solution where enclosure space is limited or where the cable must approach the fixing point at an angle.
Manufactured from high-purity electrolytic copper tube, this uninsulated compression lug provides excellent electrical conductivity and dependable mechanical strength. The copper body is annealed to improve ductility, allowing the terminal to withstand the substantial deformation produced during crimping while reducing the risk of cracking or material damage.
Designed for a nominal conductor size of 16 mm² and featuring an M5 fixing hole, the Cembre 2180620 is suitable for switchgear, control panels, industrial machinery and electrical distribution equipment requiring a secure right-angle bolted connection.

Reliable Right-Angle Copper Cable Termination
Compression cable lugs create a permanent electrical and mechanical connection by compressing the lug barrel around the conductor with a correctly matched crimping die. A properly completed crimp helps minimise electrical resistance while providing dependable resistance to vibration, movement and conductor pull-out.
The angled palm of the Cembre A3-L5 allows the conductor to be routed perpendicular to the mounting surface. This configuration is particularly useful inside compact switchboards, machinery cabinets and electrical enclosures where a conventional straight cable lug may require excessive bending of the connected cable.
Typical Applications
- Electrical control panels and switchboards.
- Industrial machinery and automation systems.
- Motor control centres and distribution equipment.
- Power supplies, transformers and battery systems.
- Compact electrical cabinets with restricted cable-routing space.
- Commercial and industrial copper cable installations.
