DTL-5 forged bimetallic cable lugs are designed to connect aluminium or aluminium-alloy conductors to copper terminals on transformers, switchgear and other electrical equipment. The aluminium barrel and copper palm are friction-welded to provide a reliable electrical transition between dissimilar metals.
Key Features
- Friction-welded joint: Connects the aluminium barrel and copper palm.
- High-purity materials: Typically aluminium ≥99.5% and copper ≥99.9%.
- Pre-filled contact compound: Selected designs include neutral jointing compound inside the aluminium barrel.
- Protective cap: Helps protect the barrel before cable installation.
- Multiple sizes: Available for different conductor cross-sections and terminal dimensions.
