Description

Cembre Insulated Pin Connectors – PC Series

Cembre insulated pin connectors provide a flat pin termination for flexible copper conductors from 10mm² to 35mm².

In the Australian electrical industry, these insulated terminals are commonly identified as PC10, PC16, PC25 and PC35. However, Cembre identifies the genuine manufacturer range as ANE-P.

Engineering Supplies displays both references so customers can search using the familiar Australian part number while still identifying the corresponding Cembre product.

PC to Cembre ANE-P Cross Reference

For example, an Australian specification calling for a PC16 corresponds to the Cembre ANE3-P14 insulated pin terminal.

Likewise, PC25 corresponds to ANE5-P16, while PC35 corresponds to ANE7-P20.

Insulated PC vs Uninsulated PCU Pin Connectors

It is important to distinguish between the two Australian pin connector ranges.

PC Series – Insulated

The PC10, PC16, PC25 and PC35 range uses Cembre ANE-P pre-insulated terminals with black PA6.6 insulation.

PCU Series – Uninsulated

The PCU10, PCU16, PCU25, PCU35, PCU50 and PCU70 range corresponds to Cembre’s A-P uninsulated flat pin terminals.

Therefore:

PC = Insulated Pin Connector
PCU = Uninsulated Pin Connector

Although the two ranges perform a similar termination function, they should not be confused when ordering or specifying a connector.

Cembre ANE-P Insulated Pin Connector Features

The Cembre ANE-P range features:

• Pre-insulated flat pin design
• Suitable for flexible copper conductors
• 10mm² to 35mm² conductor sizes
• Black PA6.6 polyamide insulation
• Funnel-shaped conductor entry
• Tinned electrolytic copper terminal body
• Copper purity above 99.95%
• Annealed construction
• Partial insulation
• UL94 V2 insulation classification
• Operating temperature from -20°C to +115°C
• Short-duration temperature threshold up to +130°C
• RoHS compliant

In addition, Cembre lists cULus certification to UL 486A-486B and EN 45545-2 HL2 classification for the ANE-P family.

Available Insulated PC Sizes

These dimensions match Cembre’s current ANE-P manufacturer data.

Insulated Pin Connectors for Larger Conductors

The flat pin allows a larger flexible conductor to terminate into equipment that accepts a relatively narrow flat connection.

Meanwhile, the insulated funnel entry helps guide conductor strands into the terminal barrel during installation.

Typical applications include:

• Switchboards
• Circuit breakers
• Control panels
• Electrical distribution equipment
• Industrial machinery
• Power supplies
• Terminal blocks
• Flexible cable terminations

Always confirm the conductor size, pin dimensions and equipment terminal arrangement before installation.

Selecting PC10, PC16, PC25 or PC35

Selection is straightforward when the conductor size is known:

10mm² → PC10 / ANE2-P12
16mm² → PC16 / ANE3-P14
25mm² → PC25 / ANE5-P16
35mm² → PC35 / ANE7-P20

However, conductor size should not be the only consideration. Check the available pin width, pin length and equipment terminal dimensions before selecting the connector.
