Why Choose the Cembre 2145730 RKY-U3 Fork Terminal?
The Cembre 2145730 (RKY-U3) is a premium-quality pre-insulated anti-vibration fork terminal designed to provide secure, reliable electrical terminations for flexible copper conductors. Manufactured by Cembre, it is specifically engineered for industrial control panels, machinery, automation systems and OEM electrical equipment where fast installation and dependable electrical performance are essential.
Manufactured from 99.95% pure electrolytic copper with a durable tin-plated finish, the RKY-U3 features a reinforced copper sleeve positioned between the conductor barrel and the insulated collar. During crimping, this sleeve grips the cable insulation to improve mechanical retention while maintaining excellent conductivity and long-term resistance to vibration. The halogen-free PA6.6 polyamide insulation incorporates a funnel-shaped entry for fast conductor insertion and reduced installation time.
Designed for 0.25–1.5 mm² flexible copper conductors with a 3.2 mm (M3) fork opening, the Cembre 2145730 allows quick removal and replacement without fully removing the fixing screw, making it ideal for maintenance and service applications.
