Why Choose the Cembre 2054970 GF-U16 Fork Terminal?
The Cembre 2054970 GF-U16 is a professional-quality pre-insulated fork terminal designed to create secure and dependable electrical connections for copper conductors. Manufactured for demanding industrial and commercial installations, this terminal combines a tin-plated electrolytic copper connector with durable yellow PVC insulation.
Its open fork design allows the terminal to be fitted beneath a suitable screw or stud without completely removing the fastener. This can simplify installation, inspection and maintenance in control panels, machinery and power distribution equipment. The funnel-shaped cable entry also helps guide conductor strands into the terminal before crimping.
Designed for 4–6 mm² copper cables and an M16 screw connection, the Cembre GF-U16 provides strong mechanical retention and efficient electrical conductivity. Its PVC insulation is self-extinguishing to UL 94 V0, while the terminal is manufactured in accordance with recognised UL 486A-486B and UL 486C requirements.
