Couplers (bolted and Welded)
Copper and aluminum terminal connectors are used for joining copper or aluminum tube conductors, and aluminum and copper cable conductors to flat equipment pads. Depending on the field application requirements, BURNDY® has or can engineer configurations to accommodate your needs. | | T-Connectors / A-Frames (Bolted and Welded)
T-connectors / A-frames are offered in high copper and aluminum alloy. T-connectors are used for joining tube-to-tube, tube-to-cable, cable-to-cable, tube-to-cable to a flat pad in a run-and-tap configuration as well as to accommodate a bus bar. A-frames are designed for tube-to-tube connections in a run-and-tap configuration. | | Rigid Spacers, Shielding Caps and End Bells
BURNDY® offers rigid spacers to accommodate various conductor-spacing ranges. Our Shielding caps cover hardware when bolting terminals to flat pads singly or back-to-back. Our end bells close the end of tube sealing out moisture, reducing electrostatic loss and eliminating hazards created by nesting birds. |
