Why Choose the Cembre 2340238 A48-M16/31 Narrow Palm Copper Terminal?
The Cembre 2340238 A48-M16/31 Copper Terminal is a premium non-insulated narrow palm copper compression terminal engineered for secure, low-resistance electrical terminations in industrial power distribution, switchgear and low-voltage circuit breaker applications. As part of the trusted Cembre A-M Series, it has been specifically developed for installations where restricted terminal space requires a reduced palm width without compromising current carrying capability.
Manufactured from high-purity electrolytic copper (Cu-OF CW008A) and electrolytically tin plated, the terminal delivers exceptional electrical conductivity together with excellent protection against corrosion and oxidation. The annealed barrel construction ensures reliable compression crimping and outstanding mechanical strength throughout the service life.
Designed for 185–240 mm² flexible copper conductors, the A48-M16/31 features an M16 fixing hole, a compact 31 mm narrow palm, flared barrel entry and inspection hole to simplify installation and verify complete conductor insertion before crimping. It is ideal for compact LV circuit breakers and switchgear assemblies.
