Industry news
Bimetallic lugs are a special and common electrical connector, generally made of two metals with different thermal expansion coefficients: an aluminum wire barrel and a solid copper terminal, which are connected together using friction welding technology to ensure a safe and reliable connection between the two conductors. This article will focus on the installation and practical application of such products.
