What is a Shear Bolt Connector?

The Shear Bolt Connector is to terminate the cable by means of a torque bolt, which does not require a special crimping tool and replaces the original crimping-type terminal.

It has the following characteristics:

1. No crimping tool is needed, just an ordinary socket wrench to twist off the torque bolt. The benefits are fast, simple, reduce installation costs, stable joint quality, and not affected by human factors.

2. Suitable for copper and aluminum, and can be used for copper conductors, aluminum conductors, and aluminum alloy conductors with voltage levels of 35Kv and below, including copper-aluminum transition connections. The benefit is that the inventory is greatly reduced, and there is no need to purchase multiple models to take over, which is convenient for management. For example, the torque connection 150/240 originally required three types of copper connection, three types of aluminum connection, and three types of copper-aluminum transition connection. Now only one type is needed.

3. Wide range. Because the diameter of the cables produced by each cable factory is different, the inner diameter of each takeover factory is inconsistent, and the water used by each installer is different. The installation quality of traditional crimping type pipes varies greatly, according to customers. Statistics show that no more than 5% of joints meet the requirements of the standard. Due to the wide range characteristics of torque takeover, these problems have been solved. To describe in the words of the customer is to use technical means to solve practical problems.

4. The electrical performance is more reliable. After traditional pipe crimping, rhomboid, burr, and even flash will be generated, which requires careful polishing and requires high construction personnel.

5. For special applications, such as thin-stranded flexible cables, since flexible cables are thicker than ordinary copper cables in the same screenshot, it is very easy to use torque to take over ordinary pipes.
