To help choose the right connector for the cross-section of the conductor, a specific type of connector for copper conductor has been developed for the US market which contains the necessary information for correct compression.
Cembre supplies devices for the electrical connection and securing of cables to companies operating in the manufacturing sector
for copper conductors
C series lugs are manufactured from electrolytic copper tube Cu-OF CW008A conform to UNI EN 13600.
The dimensions of the tube are designed to obtain the most efficient electrical conductivity and mechanical strength to resist vibration and pull out. Cembre lugs are annealed to guarantee optimum ductility, an absolute necessity for connectors which will have to withstand the severe deformation arising when compressed and any bending of the palm during installation.
In applications subject to vibration, terminals have to perform a reliable connection, the annealing process plays a vital role in avoiding cracking or breaks between the barrel and palm.
The presence of an inspection hole facilitates full insertion of the conductor. The barrel length has been designed to allow easy and accurate positioning of the dies during the crimping operation.
Lugs are electrolytically tinplated to avoid oxidization. The tongue is clearly marked with wire size and die index for Cembre tools.
UL listed for US and Canada per UL486A up to 35 KV.
C series lugs are an important part of Cembre crimping systems for power carrying conductors.
Cembre technicians are available to provide technical advice as required.
