Why Choose the Cembre 2341905 A48B-M16 Copper Cable Lug?
The Cembre 2341905, manufacturer designation A48B-M16, is a professional-grade uninsulated copper compression cable lug designed for secure termination of copper conductors onto equipment fitted with an M16 stud or bolt. Manufactured for dependable electrical performance, it is suitable for power distribution, industrial control panels, machinery and electrical infrastructure.
The terminal is manufactured from high-conductivity annealed copper, providing the ductility required to withstand the substantial deformation produced during compression crimping. Its electrolytic tin-plated finish helps protect the copper against oxidation and supports a stable, low-resistance electrical connection in demanding installations.
Featuring a 17 mm palm hole for M16 fixings, a 36 mm crimp barrel length and a recommended cable stripping length of approximately 39.6 mm, the Cembre A48B-M16 supports accurate conductor insertion and reliable compression when installed with compatible Cembre tooling and dies.

Reliable Copper Cable Termination for Power Connections
Compression cable lugs create a permanent electrical and mechanical connection by compressing the lug barrel around the conductor with a correctly matched die set. This produces extensive contact between the conductor strands and terminal barrel, helping reduce electrical resistance, heat generation and the risk of connection failure.
The annealed construction of the Cembre 2341905 allows the barrel to deform uniformly during crimping without cracking. Its tin-plated surface also helps protect the underlying copper in industrial environments, making the A48B-M16 suitable for long-term use in professionally installed electrical systems.
