AluminumandBronze Connectors —Alloys, Connectors, Hardware& Installation

Tin Plating —Tin plating can be furnished on certain connectors by adding suffix “GP” to the catalog number, aluminum distribution. Hardware —Anodized Aluminum Clamping Bolts are standard with most Aluminum Power Connectors assembled at factory. The bolts are fabricated 2024-T4, 2014-T4 or equal aluminum and are anodized. After anodizing, the coating is sealed with a dichromate solution which imparts a yellow-green finish. Insulator attachment hardware for bus supports is galvanized steel. Bronze Bolted Clamps Bronze bolted deadend and suspension clamps require high tensile strength and corrosion resistance in application are cast from Anderson Alloy 112 (ASTM B-30 Alloy No. C95500). The 112 alloy is a 10% aluminum, 4.5% nickel copper alloy with a minimum tensile strength of 90,000 PSI. Contact Sealants, Inhibitors and Joint Compounds —Various sealant formulations have been developed to provide improved electrical and mechanical performance as well as environmental protection to the contact area. Non-petroleum base sealants are provided for underground applications and other applications where natural or synthetic rubber goods might be adversely affected. Non-gritted sealants, generally referred to as joint compounds, are recommended for flat connections and as a groove sealant in bolted connectors. Our gritted sealants are primarily used in compression connectors. Aluminum single-die compression connectors have sealant applied at the factory. Standard nuts furnished on aluminum bolts are 6061 T6 dry waxed coated.
