Cable terminals may be relatively small in size, but they are an essential component of the functioning and connection of various elements within an electrical installation. Mechanically, they form an electrical connection between individual conductors and electrical devices in the installation, thus ensuring a durable and safe electrical contact.
Most terminals are made of copper or tin, and their variety of shapes: cable lugs, sleeves, auto connectors, connectors, fork-type cable lugs… insulated, non-insulated, is justified by their intended use.
You will find this variety of cable terminals and lugs with us at LDG, featuring the Italian brand BM. In BM's portfolio in this segment, we have various sizes available in stock:
- - Copper - tinned cable lugs - perhaps providing the most stable connection between the conductor and the device. There is a vast variety in terms of size, cable cross-section…
- - Copper - tinned cable lugs DIN 46235 - in some installations, cable lugs are required to comply with the international DIN standard, where the cable entry part is longer, and the walls of the lugs are thicker;
- - Ring-type lugs (insulated) - one of the most common cable terminals, as they establish a stable connection between the conductor and the device;
- - Fork-type lugs (insulated) - these cable terminals are primarily used for making connections in limited spaces;
- - Pin-type lugs (insulated) - as implied by the name, these cable terminals are designed for installations where the cable needs to fit into a very tight space;
- - Auto connectors (insulated and non-insulated) - these cable sockets are applicable for shaping the ends of multi-core conductors, especially in connections subject to frequent attachment and detachment;
- - Cable terminals for one or two conductors - insulated - these are likely the most common cable terminals;
- - Cable connectors (insulated and non-insulated) - unlike most cable terminals used to make a connection between cable and device, this type of cable terminal connects two conductors.
Another interesting and practical offer comes from the cable lugs and connectors with a shear bolt from the brand Morek. Applicable for connecting aluminum and copper conductors with a voltage up to 36 kV, they possess several advantages over others:
- - The Shear Bolt technology allows installation of cable terminals with a regular wrench - without crimping tools or other specialized equipment, advantageous in emergency situations;
- - You can choose to connect conductors with different cross-sections;
- - The "shearing" bolts are made of high-quality aluminum alloy and are tinned, allowing their use with both aluminum and copper conductors;
- - The bolts are designed to break at the precise tension required for the best electrical connection;
- - The cutting bolts are treated with a special anti-oxidant grease, ensuring lubrication and eliminating all types of oxidation at points of electrical contact;
- - The cable terminals and connectors with shear bolts are waterproof and suitable for indoor and outdoor installations with solid, multi-core conductors with PVC insulation or oil-impregnated paper insulation;
- - The compact design of the Shear Bolt requires minimal installation space - an advantage, especially with larger terminals and conductors.
Our main task here at LDG is to offer our clients quality solutions. BM's cable terminals are one of these solutions. Practical, high-quality, essential, and available at LDG!
