Insulated Busbar Clamp Simet SBB 16 (81550007) black — for 16 mm² busbar connections

Insulated busbar clamp Simet SBB 16 in black is designed to provide a compact, insulated mechanical connection to busbars for conductors with a 16 mm² cross-section. The clamp secures a reliable electrical tap on distribution boards and electrical panels while maintaining electrical insulation and saving space. Its design is intended for use where safe, low-profile busbar connections are required in both industrial and residential installations.

Advantages

The Simet SBB 16 clamp combines mechanical stability and electrical insulation in a single component, reducing the need for additional insulating accessories. Its compact shape enables multiple taps along a busbar without significant increase in width, and the black insulated housing resists short circuits and accidental contact. The clamp is engineered for straightforward installation and provides consistent electrical contact for 16 mm² conductors.

Suitable for

• Making insulated taps on copper or aluminium busbars
• Connections in distribution boards and electrical panels
• Industrial control cabinets and residential electrical installations
• Applications requiring compact, low-profile busbar joining

Key specifications

• Insulation color: black
• Conductor cross-section suitability: 16 mm²
• Type: insulated mechanical busbar clamp for tapping/joining
• Mounting: direct onto flat busbar surface
• Typical use environment: distribution boards, electrical panels, control cabinets

How to use

Position the Simet SBB 16 clamp over the busbar at the desired tapping point and tighten the fastening screw or mechanism to secure firm mechanical and electrical contact with the busbar. Insert the 16 mm² conductor into the clamp terminal and secure it according to standard torque recommendations for the conductor size to ensure reliable connection. Verify insulation integrity and mechanical stability after installation and before energizing the circuit.

Usage recommendations

Use the clamp only with conductors and busbars of compatible dimensions and materials, follow applicable electrical codes and torque specifications, and perform visual and mechanical checks after installation. Avoid use outside rated conductor sizes and in environments with conditions (corrosive atmospheres, excessive vibration) not suitable for standard insulated clamps unless additional protective measures are applied.
