2-hole inspection connection OC 90500101

Control connector for lightning protection connections

This control connector is designed for connecting lightning protection wires and for making control connections of down conductors to grounding. The construction based on galvanized steel elements ensures durability and corrosion resistance. The connector consists of two parts screwed together with M8 hexagon screws, which guarantees a stable and reliable connection.

The application of this connector is wide – it is ideal for both newly built installations and for modernizing existing lightning protection systems. Its use is particularly important when connecting copper wire (CU) with OC sheet metal, where the use of an additional brass spacer is recommended to avoid electrochemical corrosion. The designation 5.1 CU/OC indicates this specific application.

Features and benefits

• Durable construction: Made of steel, with a galvanized coating, which provides long-lasting protection against corrosion and weathering.
• Versatility: Suitable for connecting wires with a diameter of 8-10 mm, making it compatible with most standard lightning protection conductors.
• Safety: Maximum surge current of 100 kA guarantees effective protection of the installation in the event of lightning strikes.
• Easy installation: M8 hexagon screws allow for quick and secure installation with standard tools.
• Material compatibility: The possibility of using a brass spacer when connecting CU wire with OC sheet metal minimizes the risk of electrochemical corrosion and ensures connection durability.

The dimensions of the connector are A: 57 mm, B: 57 mm, C: 57 mm, D: 25 mm and E: 9 mm. These parameters ensure adequate contact surface and connection stability in various installation conditions. It is important to select appropriate M8 screws with a length ensuring solid screwing of the elements.
