Bi-Metallic Copper And Aluminium Terminal Lugs

Key features and uses of bi-metallic Copper and Aluminium terminals include:

• Material: Bi-metallic terminals consist of two main parts – a Copper portion and an Aluminium portion. The Copper portion is made from high-conductivity Copper, and the Aluminium portion is made from high-quality Aluminium.
• Transition Design: Bi-metallic terminals are designed to accommodate both Copper and Aluminium conductors. The two metals are metallurgically bonded or mechanically clamped together to ensure a reliable and low-resistance connection.
• Avoiding Galvanic Corrosion: When Copper and Aluminium come into direct contact without a proper transition, it can lead to galvanic corrosion due to the different electrochemical properties of the metals. Bi-metallic terminals help prevent this corrosion issue.
• Size: Bi-metallic terminals come in various sizes to accommodate different Copper and Aluminium cable diameters, allowing for a wide range of cable termination applications.
• Termination: They are typically attached to the cable ends using compression or crimping methods, creating a reliable and permanent electrical connection.
• Applications: Bi-metallic Copper and Aluminium terminals are used in various electrical systems where connections between Copper and Aluminium conductors are required, such as power distribution, electrical panels, and transformers.
• Electrical Safety: Bi-metallic terminals ensure a secure electrical connection while mitigating the risk of galvanic corrosion and maintaining electrical safety.
• Durability: The metallurgical bonding or mechanical clamping of Copper and Aluminium in the bi-metallic terminals provides durability and resistance to environmental factors.
