The copper conical connectors of the DIN series (galvanized) meet DIN 46235 standards and are designed for cold crimping. They allow the termination of copper conductors and are used to connect a cable to a distribution panel, grounding, or other devices via screw connector. Using DIN connectors enhances the safety and durability of such connections. Compared to soldered connections, using connectors reduces the risk of conductor and insulation overheating.
All copper connectors undergo an additional hardening process by firing at 700°C, which removes impurities from the material. Hardened connectors are less prone to cracking during stamping, providing better performance parameters. The effectiveness of crimping depends on the use of suitable tools and molds compatible with the cross-section.
