AL/AL piercing clamp 16-120/16-95 single-sided, for limiter Z4

Piercing connector for overhead lines

This single-sided piercing connector AL/AL 16-120/16-95 is designed for safe and reliable connection of aluminum conductors in low-voltage overhead lines. It is particularly useful when transitioning from aluminum lines (without insulation) to insulated cables of type AsXS and AsXS(n), with a cross-section from 16 to 120 mm². This connector is widely used during network modernization, allowing easy and efficient connection of new, insulated sections to the existing infrastructure.

Construction and materials

The connector's design is focused on durability and resistance to weather conditions. The housing is made of plastic, which effectively protects against UV radiation and other external factors. The piercing contacts are made of a durable aluminum alloy profile, ensuring good conductivity and corrosion resistance. Hex head cap screws grade 8/8, hot-dip galvanized, guarantee solid and secure cable fastening. Additionally, the connector contacts are filled with contact paste, which minimizes electrical resistance and improves connection quality. Springs made of spring steel, also hot-dip galvanized, ensure stable contact between the conductors.

Application and benefits

This connector is an ideal solution for installers working on power grid modernization and for end-users looking for a reliable element for connecting overhead lines. Its through-channel construction for both the main and branch conductors simplifies installation and ensures a secure connection. Thanks to the use of screw-type piercing connectors (IPC), it is possible to directly connect the conductors without the need to remove the insulation from the main conductor – which significantly speeds up the installation process. The lack of the need for additional tools besides an Allen key is another advantage of this solution.
