Special Features
Low Stresses produced at interfaces precludes significant conductor creep and minimize loss of clamping force on connectors. Contact forces are nearly constant during temperature changes or conductor compaction. Driving action helps remove oxidation from conductor and lowers contact resistance. RUS Accepted
