Why Choose the Cembre CA40S-M16 Copper Compression Cable Lug?

The Cembre CA40S-M16 (2530490) is a premium copper compression cable lug designed for secure, low-resistance electrical terminations in medium-voltage and industrial power distribution systems. Part of the trusted Cembre CA-M series, this heavy-duty terminal delivers excellent electrical conductivity, high mechanical strength and dependable long-term performance in demanding installations.

Manufactured from 99.9% pure annealed electrolytic copper with a high-quality electrolytic tin-plated finish, the CA40S-M16 provides exceptional corrosion resistance and electrical performance. Its extended barrel improves both electrical and mechanical characteristics, while the absence of an inspection hole helps prevent moisture ingress, making it particularly suitable for outdoor and medium-voltage applications up to 35 kV.

Designed for 30–40 mm² copper conductors with an M16 fixing hole, the CA40S-M16 is widely used in switchgear, industrial control panels, substations, renewable energy systems and electrical infrastructure requiring robust cable terminations.
