For the termination of conductive conductors in modern production, a cable bolt tip is used. In this case, the tip is fastened to the core using the hex head screwing method. Upon reaching the specified force, the head simply breaks. Thus, the connection becomes reliable and durable, it meets all state standards and requirements.
Tip Information
To connect and terminate the cable, the cable lug for crimping is most often used at present.
It is necessary to completely control the penetration of the cable inside the lug to ensure a reliable connection.
In this case, the tip size becomes a fairly important factor. In addition, it is necessary to choose the right degree of sealing and compression of the joint, the size of the working tool and the connecting sleeve.
Connection sleeves and cables for crimping are supplied with marking at the production stage. Thanks to this marking, it becomes easier to understand for which cable a particular product is suitable. Contact connection will be of high quality only if the dimensions are chosen as correctly as possible. Then the cable lug becomes the most efficient and reliable.
The cleanliness of the contact surface is one of the factors that ensures reliable operation of the contact joint. The contact pressure necessary for the proper operation of the whole system also contributes to this.
In order to achieve good performance, you must first completely remove the oxidation film, PE insulation or paper insulation from the surface of the tips, sleeves or cores. The oxidation film should not be present on the surface, because its electrical conductivity is quite low.
About cable lugs for crimping
A cable terminal of this type can be reusable or disposable. In the case of dismantling, reusable cables are much easier to disassemble, then to reinstall them in the same place. Disposable tips differ in that they must be crimped.
At its core, copper cable lugs, the price of which can be different - this is a hollow glass, which is made of soft metal.
High-quality crimping and reliable crimping of the cable are guaranteed only if the type and size of the cable lug and dies are selected correctly.
Aluminum tips
The integral connection of aluminum conductors is the main task that aluminum lugs perform.
Products made of this metal, used in its pure form, are generally considered the most suitable for modern cables, since they provide reliable operation of the entire structure. In other products, they can use impurities, which sometimes negatively affect the quality of the starting material.
In addition, cable copper lugs for crimping were widely used. It only takes a few minutes to install them. But in terms of strength, they are not able to get around aluminum products. However, in this case, an integral monolithic compound is obtained, which provides high-quality communication.
