ABS Insulation Piercing Connector overview

The ABS Insulation Piercing Connector is listed in the GRL range for overhead cable branching. Use the model-specific information below to compare main conductor and branch conductor sizes, conductor material and insulation compatibility and installation and sealing requirements before selecting a configuration.

These standards include tests to verify reliable operation even in the harshest environments:

Designed for installation from –20 °C up to +50 °C

No limitation of mechanical loads for main and branch conductors
Shear head forces are adapted to the required contact forces for each application (main, service, lightning)
Voltage withstand to 6 kV in a 30 cm water bath
No change in contact resistance and temperature after overloads and load cycling
Voltage withstand to 6 kV in metallic balls after heavy weathering exposure (UV-light, humidity and temperature cycling)
Corrosion resistance of the metal parts has been proven in the salt fog chamber and wet SO2 gas chamber
