ALPAR lightning protection cross connector G702, 2-screw terminal for earthing/earthing conductor connections

ALPAR lightning protection cross connector G702 is designed to join grounding and earthing conductors at crossing points within lightning protection and earthing systems. The compact 2-screw terminal provides a secure mechanical and electrical connection suitable for outdoor and rooftop installations, allowing reliable continuity in conductor networks and enabling branching or crossing points without cutting conductors.

Advantages

The cross connector offers a simple two-screw clamping mechanism that ensures stable electrical continuity and mechanical retention of conductors. Its construction is intended for exposure to the conditions typical of external lightning protection systems, providing a straightforward and low-profile joining solution that minimises installation time. The design allows conductors to be connected at intersections while maintaining conductor alignment and conductivity.

Suitable for

• Joining grounding/earthing conductors at crossing points in lightning protection networks
• Creating branching or intersection points on rooftops and outdoor structures
• Installing on metallic or non-metallic supports where conductor continuity is required

Key specifications

• Terminal type: 2-screw cross connector for conductor crossing and joining
• Application: Lightning protection and earthing conductor connections
• Mounting: Inline crossing installation for rooftop and outdoor networks
• Connection method: Mechanical screw clamping for conductor retention and electrical contact
• Materials: Corrosion-resistant metal parts suitable for outdoor use (manufacturer-specified material)
• Compatibility: Designed for standard lightning protection and earthing conductors

How to use

Position the cross connector at the conductor crossing point and place the conductors into the two intersecting channels provided. Tighten the screws evenly to secure each conductor, ensuring firm mechanical clamping and continuous electrical contact. Verify that conductors are properly aligned and that screw torque meets installation practice or local regulation requirements. After installation, visually inspect the connection and, if necessary, perform an electrical continuity check to confirm proper grounding connection.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate corrosion-resistant fasteners and follow local standards for lightning protection and earthing installations. Ensure screw torque and conductor sizes comply with applicable regulations. Regularly inspect rooftop and outdoor connectors for corrosion or loosening and retighten or replace components as required.
