Why Choose the Cembre 2162690 Non-Insulated Copper Fork Terminal?
The Cembre 2162690 is a premium non-insulated copper fork terminal, also referenced as S2.5-U8, designed to provide secure, low-resistance electrical terminations for stranded copper conductors. Manufactured from high-conductivity electrolytic copper with a corrosion-resistant tin-plated finish, it delivers outstanding electrical performance and long service life in demanding industrial environments.
Designed for professional panel builders, OEMs and electrical contractors, the terminal features a brazed seam barrel for exceptional mechanical strength together with a rifled internal barrel that enhances conductor grip and electrical contact after crimping. The open fork design enables faster installation and simplifies maintenance by allowing the terminal to be removed without fully removing the fixing screw.
Suitable for 1.5–2.5 mm² (16–14 AWG) conductors and an 8.4 mm fork width, the Cembre 2162690 is ideal for industrial control panels, switchgear, machinery, power distribution systems and automation equipment where reliable electrical connections are essential.
