Description
Termco Copper C-Crimps
Termco Copper C-Crimps, also known as C connectors, provide a permanent compression connection for joining or tapping copper conductors. Their C-shaped design allows two conductors to sit within the connector before compression with the correctly matched crimping die.
The range suits electrical distribution, bonding and earthing applications where a reliable copper-to-copper connection is required. In addition, Termco offers multiple connector sizes to suit different combinations of main and tap conductors.
Key Features
- Copper C-shaped compression connector
- Suitable for joining and tapping copper conductors
- Electro-tinned finish
- Range of sizes for different conductor combinations
- Suitable for electrical bonding and earthing applications
- Compatible with correctly matched C-crimp dies
- Permanent compression connection
- Termco TCLT C Connector range
Selecting the Correct Connector
Selecting a C connector differs from selecting a conventional cable lug. Rather than choosing a connector solely from one cable size, users must consider the combination of the main conductor and tap conductor.
Therefore, always refer to the Termco C Connector selection chart to determine the correct connector and matching crimp die for the conductors being joined.
For example, different combinations of main and tap conductor sizes may require the same C connector. Conversely, changing either conductor size can require a different connector.
Using the correct connector and tooling helps achieve the intended compression and electrical connection.
Applications
Termco C connectors suit a range of copper conductor applications, including:
- Earthing and grounding systems
- Copper earth grids
- Main-to-tap conductor connections
- Electrical bonding
- Power distribution
- Industrial electrical installations
- Utility and infrastructure applications
The open C-shaped design also allows a tap connection to be made without requiring a conventional straight-through crimp link.
Termco C Connector Range
Engineering Supplies stocks a selection of Termco C connectors, including TCLT series connectors and additional connectors for specific run and tap conductor combinations.
Browse our Termco Copper Lugs range for standard copper lugs, bell mouth lugs, narrow palm lugs and stalk lugs. Alternatively, view our Copper Crimp Links for straight-through copper conductor connections.
Engineering Supplies can also assist with selecting the appropriate crimping tool and C-crimp dies for your conductor combination.
Always confirm the main conductor size, tap conductor size and required die before crimping.
