2388630 Cembre DR185-20 DIN 46235 COPPER TERMINAL
Cembre 2388630 DR185-20 is a tin-plated copper tube crimping lug designed for terminating 185 mm² copper conductors onto M20 electrical connections.
Why Choose the Cembre 2388630 DR185-20 Copper Tube Crimping Lug?
The Cembre 2388630, manufacturer reference DR185-20, is a professional copper tube crimping lug designed for terminating 185 mm² copper conductors onto M20 studs in industrial power distribution, switchgear and electrical machinery applications. Part of the established Cembre DR series, this compression terminal provides a robust connection between large copper power cables and compatible bolted electrical connection points.
The DR185-20 is manufactured from high-conductivity electrolytic copper and uses an annealed tubular construction to support effective compression crimping. When installed using the correctly matched professional crimping tool and die, the barrel compresses securely around the conductor to create a mechanically strong and electrically dependable termination.
Designed specifically for 185 mm² copper conductors and an M20 stud connection, the DR185-20 combines a substantial tubular barrel with a single-hole palm for installation onto busbars, switchgear and equipment terminals. Its tin-plated copper construction provides additional surface protection against oxidation, helping support reliable long-term performance in demanding electrical installations.
