How to Install Aluminum Compression Connectors

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for properly installing aluminum compression connectors for electrical wiring.

Estimated time: 30m

Tools needed:

Wire strippers, Crimping tool, Heat gun or propane torch, Multimeter

Supplies needed:

Aluminum compression connectors, Heat shrink tubing, Belleville spring washers, Anti-oxidation compound, Mounting screws

  1. Prepare the wire

    Strip the wire insulation to the length specified on the tool chart. Ensure not to nick or damage the conductor strands.

  2. Clean the wire

    Use a wire brush to remove any oxide film from the stripped wire to ensure a good electrical connection.

  3. Insert wire into connector

    Insert the stripped wire into the aluminum compression connector until it reaches the stop. Ensure a secure fit.

  4. Crimp the connector

    Using the appropriate crimping tool, crimp the connector evenly in the designated crimp zone. Follow the tool chart for the required number of crimps.

  5. Inspect the connection

    Check the crimped connection for sharp edges, flash, or burrs, and remove any imperfections.

  6. Apply heat shrink tubing

    Cut the heat shrink tubing to the desired length, ensuring at least 1.5 inches of overlap on the wire insulation. Shrink the tubing using a heat gun or propane torch.

  7. Secure the connection

    For a secure bolt connection, use Belleville spring washers. Clean the mounting surfaces and apply anti-oxidation compound before tightening the bolt to the recommended torque.
