Why Choose the Cembre 2145743 RKY-U6/1 Fork Terminal?
The Cembre 2145743 (RKY-U6/1) 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 engineered for industrial control panels, machinery, automation systems and OEM electrical equipment where dependable electrical performance and rapid installation are essential.
Manufactured from 99.95% pure electrolytic copper with a durable minimum 3 μm tin-plated finish, the RKY-U6/1 incorporates Cembre's reinforced copper sleeve positioned between the conductor barrel and 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 features a funnel-shaped entry for fast conductor insertion and reduced installation time.
Designed for 0.25–1.5 mm² flexible copper conductors with a 6.4 mm (M6) fork opening, the Cembre 2145743 is ideal for maintenance engineers, panel builders and OEM manufacturers requiring dependable electrical terminations that can be removed quickly without fully removing the fixing screw.
