Description
MATERIALS
Aluminum-Tinned Copper
CHARACTERISTICS
- Easy installation with manual, mechanical or hydraulic puncher.
- The barrel is made of high conductivity aluminum.
- The pin is made of solid copper.
- For indoor or outdoor use.
- Copper coated body to guarantee bimetallic use.
- Copper-Aluminum (Cu-Al), Aluminum-Aluminum (Al-Al) or Copper-Copper (Cu-Cu) connections on the pin or barrel.
- Body with tin coating to increase resistance to corrosion.
- It can be used in voltages up to 35,000 volts.
- The connector features a countersunk barrel to facilitate cable entry and prevent possible conductor damage during insertion.
- The standard barrel allows an average number of strikeouts, which increases the mechanical resistance of the connection.
- Connectors are clearly marked with color coding on the barrel.
- The material is free of cracks, cavities, blowholes, superficial or internal defects or any failure that may affect correct operation.
- The barrel is pre-charged with a corrosion-inhibiting and current-carrying compound.
APPLICATION
The pin-type bimetallic compression terminals are part of an electrical system that uses installation tools and sockets to make the connections copper-Aluminum, Aluminum-Aluminum, Aluminum-Copper in a firm, light and high quality way. These terminals are characterized by creating permanent unions that ensure the termination and splicing of cables to electrical equipment or other connectors. The terminals have the function of improving the electrical and mechanical contact of the cable, since these elements will be used outdoors or indoors for light work and difficult access. This type of terminal is suitable for use in medium voltage networks up to 35 kV.
