ALUMINUM SHEARBOLT TERMINAL (ASBT) #2 AWG COMPACT TO 1000 KCMIL CONCENTRIC KEY FEATURES * Heavy-duty design made of high strength, tin-plated aluminum alloy *Compact and smooth body design *D ual rated for aluminum and copper conductors *P rovides long service life under normal operating conditions with reserve capacity for emergency loading conditions *T E now offers a series of Shearbolt Terminals that are UL Listed & CSA Certified TE Connectivity's (TE) new line of Aluminum ShearBolt Terminals (ASBT) are range-taking mechanical connectors that will accommodate a conductor range from #2 compact to 1000 kcmil concentric, stranded Class B. The primary application of the ASBT is for power cable terminations, both underground and above ground at voltages up to 35 kV. The ASBT is ideally suited for making aluminum or copper cable connections to flat bar or equipment pads equipped with 2-hole NEMA spacing. The terminal is manufactured from seamless, high conductivity aluminum designed for heavy-duty utility applications. The bore of the connector body has a unique grooved surface to enhance electrical contact and minimize resistance at the interface between the terminal and the conductor. The cable entry area is chamfered inside to provide easy cable insertion. The terminal design incorporates shear head bolts, which ensures that the correct torque is applied to each bolt and consequently the optimal contact force is generated to minimize connection resistance. The primary tool required to install the connector is a standard ratchet wrench with the appropriate hexagonal sockets. A holding tool is recommended to avoid core bending of conductors and can be ordered (#IT-1000-019). Customers can count on consistent, high quality products, driven by TE's proven innovation and backed by our extraordinary customer support.

FEATURE ADVANTAGE Wide Application Range Hexagonal shear head bolts No crimp tooling or dies required BENEFIT nly three connectors needed to accommodate all cable O sizes from #2 AWG compact strand to 1,000 kcmil stranded in both aluminum and copper Installs with simple ratchet-type socket wrench or TE cordless impact wrench Installs easily using readily available tools 2-hole NEMA pad Connects conductor ranges to a flat surface (or between any conductor from the range to a flat pad) Torque-controlled shear head bolts Centering inserts for small diameter conductors Knurled inner bore on connector and insert Sheared head gives positive indication of correct installation Properly positions small conductors for proper connection Unique profile breaks through conductor oxides and grips conductor strands Reduces inventory and prevents accidental use of the wrong connector Installs easily and quickly in confined areas ase of installation. Installation tool is no longer a E source of failure. Reduces tool and die inventory, maintenance and cost Ideal for aluminum or copper cable connections to flat bar or equipment pads equipped with 2-hole NEMA spacing Low contact resistance gives superior electrical performance Minimizes voltage stresses at transition from connector body to cable insulation Generates low contact resistance and increases pullout rating Please request Data Sheet # 3-1773453-0 for our Cordless Impact Wrench. Qualification of terminals includes results based on testing shearbolt splice connectors which represents a more stringent test configuration.

This convenient and quick cordless impact wrench has been tested and qualified to install ShearBolt connectors. To extend the range of each connector, an aluminum insert is assembled into the connector body, which centers the smaller conductor sizes in the barrel of the connector. For larger sizes the insert is not required and is easily removed with a standard screwdriver. An oxide-inhibiting joint compound is factory applied in the connector barrel to maintain a reliable connection for the life of the installation. The insert also has a unique grooved surface to enhance electrical contact, while minimizing resistance at the interface between the insert and the conductor. The connectors have been electrically tested to the Class A requirements of ANSI C119.4 and exceed the mechanical requirements of a class 3 connector by a large margin of safety. The existing ASBS (Aluminum ShearBolt Splice) connector Engineering Test Reports are applicable since the barrel end of the ASBT exactly replicates the design criteria of the ASBS. Test reports are listed below. ShearBolt connectors are designed to be compatible with most TE's Raychem cable accessories and insulation products. Please consult your local TE sales representative for applicable products. For other applications, please consult the manufacturer's installation instructions for compatibility. Now available TE offers a series of Shearbolt Terminals that are UL Listed & CSA Certified. Contact TE for more information.
