Why Choose the Cembre 2046246 RP-U5/1 Insulated Fork Terminal?
The Cembre 2046246, also identified as RP-U5/1, is a professional pre-insulated fork terminal designed for secure termination of copper conductors in electrical panels, machinery, control systems and industrial installations. Part of Cembre’s RP range of halogen-free insulated terminals, it combines a reliable crimp connection with an open fork design for convenient connection to compatible screw and stud terminals.
Designed for conductors from 0.25–1.5 mm², equivalent to 22–16 AWG, the 2046246 uses red insulation for straightforward conductor-size identification. Cembre’s RP insulated terminals are designed for professional electrical connections and provide a practical solution for terminating small stranded copper conductors.
With a 5 mm connection size, the Cembre RP-U5/1 is particularly suitable for control panels, switchgear, machine wiring and other applications requiring dependable termination onto compatible screw connections. The open fork configuration allows convenient fitting and removal without completely removing the terminal screw.
