Contacts in no time

21 September 2017

New maintenance-free conductor connection clamps from Rittal feature push-in technology to provide a fast, easy and secure method for connecting conductors to busbars.

The connection clamps are suitable for many different types of conductors. They are available in two clamping ranges, 0.5–4mm2 and 1.5–16mm2 and, for copper busbars, 5 and 10mm thick in each clamping range.

The stripped end of the conductor is connected to the busbar simply by pushing them together, and the connection is held securely in place with a separate spring mechanism. The spring optimises conductivity by removing oxide layers that have formed on the busbar. And optimal contact is maintained by the integral contact block with its defined and raised contact points.

You can achieve quick and easy connections with solid, multi-wire and ultrasonic welding conductors and also fine wire conductors with wire end ferrules and twin wire end ferrules.

The clamp can reduce issues such as incorrect compression/torques and loosening while its maintenance-free design improves reliability and keeps running costs down.

Thanks to its numerous UL and IEC certifications, the new conductor connection clamp is suitable for use worldwide including in maritime and offshore applications.
