Why Choose the Cembre 2180670 A3-L12 90° Copper Tube Cable Lug?
The Cembre 2180670, also identified as the Cembre A3-L12, is a premium 90° copper tube compression cable lug designed for terminating stranded and flexible copper conductors. Its right-angle palm allows cables to enter from the side, making it ideal for compact switchboards, control panels and industrial equipment where space is restricted. The A3-L12 is designed for 16 mm² copper conductors with an M12 fixing hole.
Manufactured from greater than 99.9% pure electrolytic copper tube, the terminal is annealed and electrolytically tinned to provide excellent conductivity, simplified crimping and outstanding resistance to corrosion and mechanical stress. The barrel features both a chamfer and an inspection hole to aid conductor insertion and help ensure consistent, high-quality crimps.
Designed for demanding industrial applications, the Cembre A3-L12 delivers dependable electrical performance and long service life in power distribution systems, machine building, OEM equipment, motor control centres and electrical control cabinets.
