Buy Bimetallic Lugs – DTL-1 / DTL-2 Series | Cu-Al Transition Terminals
What Are Bimetallic Lugs?
Bimetallic lugs are specialized terminal connectors designed to solve the challenges of joining aluminum conductors to copper busbars. These bi-metal cable lug solutions are engineered to prevent galvanic corrosion by separating dissimilar metals at the contact point. Typically made with an aluminum barrel and a copper palm, they are joined using advanced friction welding technology to form a durable, high-conductivity molecular bond. The design ensures that aluminum wires connect with the aluminum barrel and copper busbars interface with the copper palm. This structure eliminates direct contact between aluminum and copper, reducing the risk of electrical failure due to electrochemical reactions. These lugs are widely used in control cabinets, distribution boxes, solar combiner boxes, and power systems where Cu-Al transitions are common. Want a deeper dive into how bimetallic lugs are constructed and classified? Check out our detailed guide: What Are Bimetallic Lugs and Connectors – Types and How They're Made.How to Choose the Right Bimetallic Lugs
Choosing the correct bimetallic cable lugs depends on your installation environment, conductor size, and application type. SUNJ provides multiple series tailored to different needs:Model | Structure | Application |
---|---|---|
DTL-1 | Copper palm + Aluminum barrel | Standard Cu-Al cable termination |
DTL-2 | Aluminum barrel + Copper palm (reverse) | Projects requiring barrel-first crimping |
DTL-4 | Extended barrel or special shape | Customized or large-scale installations |
- Match lug size to your conductor cross-section (16mm² to 630mm²)
- Check compatibility with crimping tools
- For solar systems or outdoor use, prioritize models with anti-oxidation grease filling
- Refer to detailed technical sheets for installation torque, crimp zones, and test data (available upon request)
