General comment We produce the terminals with friction welding, which means that aluminium is joined with copper. This is done when aluminium is rotated towards copper under pressure and it is the method that provides the best bond between Al and Cu. We produce AlCu terminals of type AKK, AKS, AKP and SL but also largely customised terminals (also larger than 1200 mm²). Terminals of type AKK are used at the end of an Al conductor for connection to a Cu bus bar. Through connectors of type AKS are used for jointing of Al conductors to Cu conductors. Pin sleeves of type AKP are made for connection of Al conductors to apparatus with connections of copper. AlCu type SL are shearbolt connectors and intended for stranded and solid aluminium and copper cable, low voltage and medium voltage up to 36 kV. Transition through connectors of type AKS -10S are used for jointing stranded Al conductors to solid Cu conductors 10 mm².

Owner of data set Elpress AB

Technical purpose Elpress AlCu terminals are designed to overcome the challenges of directly connecting aluminium and copper, such as galvanic corrosion and different material properties. They achieve a durable bond through a process called friction welding, where aluminium is rotated against copper under pressure.
