8008485 Cembre A37-2M16 COPPER TERMINAL
Cembre 8008485 A-2M two-hole electrolytic copper compression cable lug with electro-tin plated finish for industrial electrical terminations.
Why Choose the Cembre 8008485 Copper Tube Terminal?
The Cembre 8008485 is a premium 2-hole copper compression cable lug designed to provide secure, low-resistance electrical terminations for copper conductors in industrial, commercial and power distribution applications. As part of the trusted Cembre A-2M series, it is manufactured from 99.9% pure electrolytic copper with a durable electro-tin plated finish, ensuring outstanding electrical conductivity, corrosion resistance and long service life.
The two-hole palm provides superior mechanical stability compared to conventional single-hole cable lugs, helping prevent movement or rotation under vibration or electrodynamic stress. An inspection hole allows installers to verify full conductor insertion before crimping, while the chamfered barrel simplifies cable installation.
Designed for professional electricians, panel builders and OEM manufacturers, the Cembre 8008485 is ideal for switchgear, motor control centres, control panels, renewable energy systems and industrial machinery where dependable electrical terminations are essential.
