2752180 Cembre ML150-240-12C ALUMINIUM TERMINAL
Cembre 2752180 ML150-240-12C aluminium mechanical shear-bolt terminal for terminating 150-240 mm² copper or aluminium power conductors in low- and medium-voltage electrical installations.
Why Choose the Cembre 2752180 ML150-240-12C Aluminium Mechanical Terminal?
The Cembre 2752180, manufacturer model ML150-240-12C, is a robust aluminium mechanical shear-bolt terminal designed for terminating copper and aluminium power conductors. As part of the Cembre ML-C series, it provides a dependable mechanical cable connection without requiring conventional compression dies, making it particularly suitable for low- and medium-voltage electrical installations.
The ML150-240-12C accommodates conductor cross-sections from 150–240 mm² and uses two shear-bolt clamping elements to secure the conductor within the terminal barrel. Cembre ML-C terminals incorporate centring devices to help maintain correct conductor alignment, while contact grease inside the barrel supports reliable electrical contact and long-term connection performance.
Manufactured with a high-purity aluminium conductor body, the ML150-240-12C combines durable construction with a broad operating temperature range of -50 °C to +150 °C. The terminal features an M12 palm fixing and is designed for professional power distribution, switchgear, industrial and electrical infrastructure applications.
