Key Features
- Joins stranded sector or circular stranded 400 mm² aluminium cable to 70 mm² stranded copper cable
- Friction-welded aluminium-to-copper joint provides a mechanically strong electrical connection
- Designed to minimise electrolysis and galvanic corrosion between dissimilar metals
- Aluminium barrel is supplied with jointing compound to help prevent oxide formation
- Made to Australian dimensions for use with Australian standard tooling
- Suitable for power distribution, switchboard and cable termination applications
Professional Installation Requirements
- Installation and crimping should be performed by a licensed electrician or suitably qualified electrical contractor using the manufacturer's specified dies, crimp sequence and cable preparation procedures. De-energise and isolate the circuit before installation.
Applications
- Joining large aluminium power cables to smaller copper cables
- Electrical power distribution systems
- Switchboards and distribution equipment
- Utility, industrial and commercial cable termination work
- Reducing cable size between aluminium and copper conductors
Standards & Compliance
- AS/NZS 4325.1 for compression connectors and terminations
Environmental Benefits
- Aluminium and copper components are recyclable at end of service life
- Friction-welded construction and corrosion-resistant jointing compound support a longer service life and reduce replacement waste
- Enables the use of aluminium cable in applications requiring copper termination, potentially reducing conductor material and weight compared with all-copper alternatives
