Aluminum to Copper (AL-CU) Superior quality through…
• Secure, mechanical connection of conductors
• Runs approximately 25°F cooler than purple twist-ons
• Provides more safety
Three ports allow conductors to remain separate, permitting the lug to:
- Provide lower resistance, therefore lower temperature
- Provide longer-term reliability
• One piece for easy installation
• Secure, mechanical lug designed for aluminum to copper (AL - CU) connections
• AlumiConn design features a tin plated lug with three ports and nickel-plated
compression screws
• Versus other products designed for aluminum to copper conductors, AlumiConn:
- Is a more cost-effective alternative for replacing aluminum electrical wire systems
- Offers a solution that makes pig-tailing easier and safer
• AlumiConn is suitable for multiple types of connections including:
- Aluminum to Aluminum
- Aluminum to Copper
- Copper to Copper
• Ports of connectors contain a layer of Corrosion Inhibitor
that provides resistance from oxidation.
