COMPAQ Mechanical shear head cable lugs and connectors are at the forefront of innovation in electrical connection technology. These advanced components offer a reliable, cost-effective, and efficient alternative to traditional crimping methods, ensuring seamless power distribution in low, medium, and high-voltage systems. This blog delves into the technical aspects, applications, and advantages of these indispensable solutions in modern power networks.

What Are Mechanical Shear Head Cable Lugs and Connectors?

Mechanical shear head cable lugs and connectors are precision-engineered components designed for joining electrical cables or conductors. They utilize shear bolts that are calibrated to apply consistent and optimal torque, guaranteeing a secure electrical connection without the need for specialized crimping tools.

• Material Versatility – Compatible with both copper and aluminium conductors.
• Wide Application Range – Suitable for conductors of various cross-sectional sizes.
• Precision Engineering – Shear bolts break off at a pre-set torque, ensuring consistent contact pressure.

This design minimizes human error and maximizes the efficiency and reliability of electrical installations.

Technical Features and Benefits

• Ease of Installation – No heavy or specialized tools needed; installation performed with a standard wrench or spanner.
• Optimal Contact Pressure – Shear bolts shear off precisely at required torque for uniform compression and superior electrical performance.
• Enhanced Safety – Can withstand high mechanical stress and electrical currents, ideal for demanding environments.
• Universal Design – Compatible with a wide range of conductor materials and sizes, reducing inventory requirements.
• Time and Cost Efficiency – Simplified installation cuts labor time and tool costs significantly.

How Do Mechanical Shear Head Lugs and Connectors Work?

• Insert the cable conductor into the lug or connector.
• Tighten the shear bolts using a standard tool.
• The bolts shear off at a predefined torque level, ensuring optimal compression and eliminating risks of over- or under-tightening.

This design guarantees a secure, low-resistance connection—crucial for the performance and longevity of power networks.
