Transmission Connectors (CA05063E)

Tin Plating—Tin plating can be furnished on certain connec tors by adding suffix“GP”to the catalog number, aluminum distribution. Hardware—Anodized AluminumClamping Bolts are stan dardwithmost AluminumPower Connectors assembled at factory. The bolts are fabricated 2024-T4, 2014-T4 or equal aluminumand are anodized. After anodizing, the coating is sealedwith a dichromate solution which imparts a yellow green finish. Standard nuts furnished on aluminumbolts are 6061T6 dry waxed coated. Insulator attachment hardware for bus supports is galva nized steel. Bronze Bolted Clamps Bronze bolted deadend and suspension clamps require high tensile strength and corrosion resistance in application are cast fromAnderson Alloy 112 (ASTMB-30 Alloy No. C95500). The 112 alloy is a 10% aluminum, 4.5%nickel cop per alloy with aminimum tensile strength of 90,000 PSI. Contact Sealants, Inhibitors and Joint Compounds—Various sealant formulations have been developed to provide im proved electrical andmechanical performance as well as en vironmental 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 com pounds, are recommended for flat connections and as a groove sealant in bolted connectors. Our gritted sealants are primarily used in compression con nectors. Aluminum single-die compression connectors have sealant applied at the factory.
