Cembre 2145783 RKY-U8/1 reinforced pre-insulated fork terminal for 0.25–1.5 mm² conductors with 8.4 mm fork opening and anti-vibration construction.
£0.1532
The Cembre 2145783 (RKY-U8/1) 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-U8/1 incorporates Cembre's reinforced copper sleeve positioned between the conductor barrel and insulated collar. During crimping, this reinforcement 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 professional-quality cable termination.
Designed for 0.25–1.5 mm² flexible copper conductors with an 8.4 mm (M8) fork opening, the Cembre 2145783 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.
Fork terminals provide secure electrical connections while allowing rapid servicing because the conductor can be removed without completely removing the fixing screw. Cembre's reinforced anti-vibration construction integrates the cable insulation into the crimp, producing excellent mechanical strength and dependable electrical performance in demanding industrial environments.
The Cembre RKY series is trusted by panel builders, machine manufacturers and industrial electricians for machinery, switchgear and automation systems requiring durable, vibration-resistant electrical terminations.
