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
- Prepare the wire
Strip the wire insulation to the length specified on the tool chart. Ensure not to nick or damage the conductor strands.
- Clean the wire
Use a wire brush to remove any oxide film from the stripped wire to ensure a good electrical connection.
- Insert wire into connector
Insert the stripped wire into the aluminum compression connector until it reaches the stop. Ensure a secure fit.
- 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.
- Inspect the connection
Check the crimped connection for sharp edges, flash, or burrs, and remove any imperfections.
- 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.
- 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.
