Why Choose the Cembre 2160990 S1.5-U12 Fork Terminal?
The Cembre 2160990 S1.5-U12 Fork Terminal is a premium-quality non-insulated copper crimp fork terminal engineered to provide secure, low-resistance electrical connections for industrial control panels, switchgear, machinery and automation systems. Manufactured by Cembre, this professional-grade terminal delivers exceptional conductivity, mechanical strength and long-term reliability in demanding industrial environments.
Manufactured from 99.9%+ electrolytic copper with a durable minimum 3 µm electrolytic tin-plated finish, the terminal provides excellent corrosion resistance while maintaining optimum electrical performance. Its brazed seam barrel, annealed construction and rifled internal barrel improve conductor retention and produce a strong crimp capable of withstanding vibration and mechanical stress.
Designed for 0.25–1.5 mm² copper conductors and featuring an M12 (1/2") fork connection, the 2160990 enables rapid installation because the fixing screw only needs to be loosened rather than completely removed. It is ideal for industrial control panels, OEM machinery, electrical distribution equipment and maintenance applications.
