Overview
Our VCXI Bimetallic Shear Bolt Lugs feature our shear head bolt technology. The aluminum barrel of our bimetallic lugs features an integrated shear head bolt which ensures that the correct torque is applied. Consequently, optimal contact force is generated and connection resistance minimized. No specific tools are required, and only one bolt is needed to ensure the tightening of these bimetallic shear bolt lugs. The inner surface of the aluminum part is grooved at the manufacturing stage and greased to ensure effective electrical contact with the conductors to be joined.
Our Bimetallic Shear Bolt Lugs are designed to connect an aluminum conductor to a copper bar in low and medium voltage applications.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Question: What is TE's VCXI Bimetallic Shear Bolt Lug made of?
Answer: The barrel of our VCXI Bimetallic Shear Bolt Lug is made of aluminium and its palm is made of copper. Both parts are welded together using friction welding technology.
Question: What is VCXI used for?
Answer: Our VCXI is used to connect aluminium or copper industrial conductors to a copper bar.
Question: How do I install TE's Bimetallic Shear Bolt Lugs?
Answer: Our VCXI lugs integrate shear bolt heads, which ensure that the correct torque is applied to each bolt and consequently the optimal contact force is generated. This minimizes connection resistance. You only need a standard wrench to tighten the shear head bolts controlling the tightening torque.
