Why Choose the Cembre 2145783 RKY-U8/1 Fork Terminal?
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Cembre 2145783 used for?
It provides secure crimped fork terminations for flexible copper conductors connected to M8 screw terminals.
What cable size does it support?
The RKY-U8/1 is designed for flexible copper conductors from 0.25 mm² to 1.5 mm².
Why choose a fork terminal instead of a ring terminal?
Fork terminals simplify maintenance because they can be removed without completely removing the fixing screw.
Is the terminal suitable for vibrating equipment?
Yes. The reinforced anti-vibration copper sleeve improves cable retention, making it ideal for machinery and equipment exposed to continuous vibration.
How is the terminal installed?
