2777030 Cembre MBS50-240C ALUMINIUM CONNECTOR
Cembre 2777030 MBS50-240C aluminium mechanical shear-bolt connector designed for straight-through jointing of 50-240 mm² power conductors in electrical distribution and industrial installations.
Why Choose the Cembre 2777030 MBS50-240C Aluminium Mechanical Connector?
The Cembre 2777030, manufacturer model MBS50-240C, is a robust aluminium mechanical shear-bolt connector designed for joining power conductors in professional electrical installations. As part of Cembre's mechanical connector range, it provides a secure conductor connection without the need for conventional compression dies, helping simplify installation and reduce the tooling required on site.
The MBS50-240C is designed to accommodate a broad range of conductor cross-sections from 50–240 mm². Its mechanical clamping system makes the connector particularly versatile where different cable sizes must be accommodated, while the aluminium construction is suited to demanding power distribution and cable jointing applications.
Unlike a palm terminal intended for connection to equipment or busbars, the MBS50-240C is an in-line cable connector. Its straight-through configuration makes it suitable for joining compatible conductors within cable jointing systems used in industrial, infrastructure and electrical distribution networks.
Key Advantages
- Professional mechanical connector for power cable jointing.
- Wide 50–240 mm² conductor cross-section range provides installation flexibility.
- Mechanical shear-bolt connection reduces dependence on dedicated compression tooling.
- Robust aluminium construction for power distribution applications.

Reliable Mechanical Cable Jointing
Mechanical shear-bolt connectors provide an efficient alternative to traditional compression connectors for joining power cables. Instead of requiring a hydraulic crimping tool and conductor-specific dies, the conductor is inserted into the connector body and secured using mechanical clamping bolts, helping provide a controlled and repeatable installation.
The broad conductor range of the Cembre MBS50-240C makes it particularly useful for electrical contractors, utilities and maintenance engineers who work with multiple cable sizes. Its in-line configuration allows compatible power conductors to be joined within suitable cable jointing systems while maintaining a compact connection profile.
Typical Applications
- Power cable jointing systems.
- Electrical distribution networks.
- Industrial power installations.
- Utility cable networks.
- Infrastructure and building services.
- Underground and distribution cable joints.
- Electrical maintenance and cable repair work.
