Insulation Piercing Connector

Application The clamps are designed and tested to fit all types of LV ABC as well the connections to service and lighting cable cores, whether the cables are insulated by XLPE, PE or PVC. Stripping of insulation of ABC or covered conductor is avoided. Designed for installation from 20°C up to +50°C and for operation from 50°C up to +150°C. Description Insulated Jacket (body) is made of weather & UV resistance fiberglass reinforced polyamide. Bolt is tightened until the heads sheared off and shear-off nut is well designed to make the piercing force constant while keep good conductivity with no damage to cables Contact plate is made of high strength copper alloy or high strength aluminum alloy which can be used for the connection of aluminum to aluminum, aluminum to copper or copper to copper. Sealing cover & cable end cap is made of PVC or TPE together with proper grease which can make sure of good performance of water tightness and moisture resistance Features No limitation of mechanical loads for main and tap cables. Simultaneous waterproof, classified to voltage withstand of 6 kV in water and no moisture ingress after immersed in a 30 cm depth water tank for 30 minutes. Voltage withstand to 6 kV after heavy weathering exposure like UV radiation, humidity and temperature cycling. Corrosion resistance of metal parts has proven satisfactory in salt fog chamber and wet SO2 gas chamber as well. Shear-off head forces are adapted to the required contact forces for each application. No significant change in contact resistance and temperature after overloads and load cycling. Conform to NF C 33020, BS EN 50483-4, EATS 43-14 and PIESA 1018-5. All ferrous parts are hot dip galvanized in compliance with ISO EN 1461, BS 729, ASTM A-153. Fasteners are made of galvanized steel. Grease is made of organic silicone compound.
