For over a decade Connect-2 Technology has been providing numerous customers with high quality heavy duty power cables, battery cables and meter tails. Utilising quality terminals and tooling from manufacturers such as Amp (Tyco), Cembre, JST and Takbro to produce a range of assemblies suitable for standard high power requirements through to specific uses in demanding environs where resistance to corrosion and extreme vibration is required.Our extensive range of heavy duty tooling provides us with the ability to terminate single wires from 0.5mm2 to 120mm2 in both solid and stranded variants. Specific features of the Amp heavy duty terminal options, of which we stock in-depth, are as follows: -
SOLISTRAND Range:
The Amp SOLISTRAND range of terminals and splices are specifically designed to terminate both solid and stranded wires as well as irregular shaped conductors and combinations of these. The use of ‘matched’ Amp tooling ensures a uniform quality of the joint providing highly consistent performance, optimum electrical properties and a long service even in the most punishing of environments.
Corrosion and vibration resistance together with the tensile strength of Solistrand terminals and splices ensures that they are well within the limits of commercial and military specifications.
The Solistrand range includes; Ring and Fork/Spade Terminals, Parallel and Butt Splices.
Features:
- Accept solid, stranded and irregular shaped copper wires and combinations of more than one type without loss of performance.
- Constructed from fine grade high conductivity copper per ASTM B-152 and tin plated.
- Meet or exceed the requirements of MIL-T-7928, Type I, Class 1 and 2.
- Brazed barrel seam for uniform metal strength around the entire barrel area.
- Dimpled or serrated inner barrel surface for optimum tensile strength and electrical contact area after crimping.
- The “W” crimp creates optimum terminations of high reliability and providing long service even in the most punishing environments.
- Corrosion (including salt spray and most chemical fumes) and vibration resistant.
- Temperature rating 170° C.
- Approvals: CAA, MOD, CSA, UL and BS4G178
AMPOWER III Range:
The Ampower III range has been designed to accept a broad range of stranded wire from 10mm2 to 300mm2. Both terminals and splices are ideally suited for secondary power distribution in buildings and power plants. Compression crimping forms the terminal barrel and stranded wire into a strong, almost homogeneous unit, producing excellent conductivity with low temperature rise and outstanding resistance to oxidation and corrosion.
Features:
- Wire sizes 10mm2 to 300mm2 both rigid stranded (Class 2) and flexible (Class 5) wire types.
- Tube type terminal made from highly conductive electrolytic copper with a bright tin finish offers outstanding resistance to oxidation and corrosion.
- Accepts IEC 228 and IEC 719 designated cables.
- Wire size and stud holes clearly marked in metric.
- Chamfer design and inspection hole ensure ease of handling.
- Performance based on UL 486A, BS 4579-1, IEC 77.
