Why Choose the Cembre 2508430 2A48-2M16 Heavy-Duty Copper Ring Terminal?
The Cembre 2508430, also identified as 2A48-2M16, is a premium heavy-duty copper compression ring terminal engineered for terminating large copper conductors in demanding industrial power distribution systems. Manufactured from greater than 99.9% purity electrolytic copper with an electrolytic tin-plated finish, it delivers outstanding electrical conductivity, corrosion resistance and long-term mechanical reliability.
As part of Cembre's proven 2A-2M heavy-duty terminal series, this terminal features a double-hole fixing palm for maximum stability under vibration and electrodynamic stress. The long barrel without an inspection hole helps prevent moisture ingress, while the chamfered entry simplifies conductor insertion and supports reliable compression crimping.
Designed for 240 mm² copper conductors with 2 × M16 fixing holes, the 2A48-2M16 is ideal for switchgear, transformers, substations, grounding systems and medium-voltage applications up to 35 kV when installed using compatible Cembre crimping tools.
