Why Choose the Cembre 2190160 A5-M8/13.5 Narrow-Palm Copper Ring Terminal?
The Cembre 2190160, also designated as the Cembre A5-M8/13.5, is a professional non-insulated copper compression ring terminal designed to terminate 25 mm² copper conductors onto M8 threaded studs. Its contained 13.5 mm narrow palm makes it especially suitable for compact circuit breakers, switchgear and equipment terminals that cannot accommodate a standard-width cable lug.
Manufactured from high-purity electrolytic copper tube, the Cembre A5-M8/13.5 provides excellent electrical conductivity and the mechanical strength required to resist vibration and conductor pull-out. The terminal is annealed to ensure optimum ductility during compression and electrolytically tin plated to improve resistance to oxidation, corrosion and mechanical stress.
The Cembre 2190160 features a short-barrel design, an internally chamfered conductor entry and an integrated inspection hole. These features simplify cable insertion, help prevent damage to individual conductor strands and allow installers to verify that the conductor is fully positioned before crimping.
Key Advantages
- Designed for reliable termination of 25 mm² copper conductors.
- 13.5 mm contained palm fits compact equipment terminals.

- 13.5 mm contained-palm width.
- Short barrel with an easy-entry internal chamfer.
- Inspection hole for conductor-position verification.
Contained-palm compression terminals are designed for equipment where conventional cable lugs are too wide for the available connection space. The reduced palm width of the Cembre A5-M8/13.5 enables a 25 mm² conductor to be connected securely to an M8 terminal while maintaining the electrical and mechanical performance expected from a professional copper compression lug.
When installed using a compatible Cembre crimping tool and the correct die, the terminal produces a permanent, low-resistance connection capable of withstanding vibration, thermal cycling and mechanical stress. Its compact dimensions make it particularly useful in modern switchgear and control equipment with closely spaced terminals.
Typical Applications
- Low-voltage circuit breakers.
- Compact switchgear assemblies.
- Industrial control panels and electrical cabinets.
- Motor control centres.
- Power-distribution equipment.
- OEM machinery and automation systems.
