Lemax Series are manufactured from electrolytic copper tubes. The dimensions of the tube are designed to obtain the most efficient electrical conductivity and mechanical strength to resist vibration and pull out.
Lemax Lugs are electrolytically tinplated to avoid oxidation and it meets the highest quality requirements and complies with BS standards.
Lemax lugs are annealed to guarantee optimum ductility which is an absolute necessity for connectors that will have to withstand the severe deformation arising when compressed and any bending of the palm during installation.
In application subject to vibration, lugs still have to provide a reliable connection and annealing plays a vital role in avoiding cracking or breaks between the barrel and palm.
The presence of an inspection hole facilitates full insertion of the conductor, whilst the barrel length has been designed to allow easy and accurate positioning of the dies during the crimping operation.
