When it may not be suitable

This connector is specifically designed for steel tape applications and may not be compatible with round conductors or other specialized cable types. It is not intended for use in environments where non-standard mounting hardware or specific non-metallic materials are required.

Key specifications

• Material: Stainless steel
• Fastening type: 4-bolt connection
• Thread size: M8
• Application: Steel tape mounting

How to use

To install the connector, position the steel tape between the clamping plates and align the bolt holes. Insert the four M8 bolts and tighten them evenly to ensure uniform pressure across the connection surface. Ensure the contact surfaces are clean and free of debris to maintain optimal electrical conductivity throughout the system.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the dimensions of your steel tape to ensure compatibility with the connector size
• Ensure the M8 bolt configuration meets your specific project requirements
