Connectors With New AxiClamp Cable Termination

Tuesday 19, September 2006

MULTI-CONTACT INTRODUCES PATENTED LEAD CONNECTING SYSTEM.

Powerline 1A The AxiClamp termination is Multi-Contact's patented lead connecting system for electrical and mechanical connection of copper leads with cross sections from 6mm² to 300mm² class 5 and class 6 according to DIN VDE 0295, IEC 60228. The individual strands of the connecting lead are screw-clamped against a metal cone by means of a tapered and threaded sleeve. The metal cone is part of the contact body. This guarantees a firm clamp connection with an equally good transition resistance compared to a conventional crimp connection. The AxiClamp has undergone extensive electrical and thermal testing according to DIN EN 61238-1 and mechanical tests in accordance to DIN EN 60068-2-6.

Advantages over conventional crimp terminations:
  • No crimping tools required.
  • Lead can be disconnected and connectors reused.
  • Same AxiClamp can be used for a range of cable cross sections.
  • Time- and cost savings.
All AxiClamp connectors are RoHS (PDF) compliant.
