The difference between BLMT mechanical terminal lug and ordinary crimping terminal

2024-04-28

 BLMT mechanical terminal lug have some unique advantages over crimp terminals. The following are the main advantages of torsion terminals:

1. Efficient and fast: The BLMT mechanical terminal lug adopts a unique shear bolt mechanism to provide a consistent and reliable stop, making the connection process between the wire and the equipment ultra-fast and ultra-efficient. This design greatly saves the labor force and improves the work efficiency.

2. Safe and reliable: The BLMT mechanical terminal lug can provide a consistent predetermined shear torque and compression force during the connection process to ensure the stability and reliability of the connection. At the same time, due to its unique design, torsion terminals can handle many types of wires, such as copper, aluminum and any connection between copper and aluminum, increasing its range of use and flexibility.

3. Excellent electrical and mechanical properties: BLMT mechanical terminal lug are usually composed of tinned aluminum alloy with an internal groove wall, which enhances their electrical and mechanical properties. This allows the torsion terminal to perform well when subjected to tension or vibration and to maintain a stable connection state.

In contrast, although the crimp terminal also has its advantages, such as simple and convenient installation, suitable for batch installation, etc., there are also some limitations. For example, crimp terminals have high requirements on wire terminals, and cannot adapt to complex connection environments (such as high temperature, high pressure, and corrosion), and the connection strength is relatively low. In addition, crimp terminals may not provide the same level of stability and reliability as BLMT mechanical terminal lug in some cases.


 BLMT mechanical terminal lug and ordinary terminals have significant differences in many aspects, which are reflected in the following aspects:

1 Design and construction:

· BLMT mechanical terminal lug have a unique shear bolt mechanism. This design not only provides a reliable and consistent stop point, but also ensures a predetermined shear moment and compression force, resulting in ultra-fast and ultra-efficient connections. In addition, BLMT mechanical terminal lug are usually made of tinned aluminum alloy and have internal slotted walls that enhance their electrical and mechanical properties.

· Common terminals, such as wiring terminals, are used to connect wires and cables with electrical equipment. They may include copper terminals, aluminum terminals, and copper-aluminum terminal blocks. Ordinary terminals usually need to be crimped by hydraulic pliers when they are connected, and a model can often only correspond to one specification of wire.

2 Materials and Applications:

· BLMT mechanical terminal lug with high strength aluminum alloy material, after copper plating and tin plating treatment, so that copper and aluminum wires can be used. With the optional gasket, one type of torsion terminal can be used for different cable specifications, thus reducing inventory requirements.

· Common terminals may not have this material diversity and versatility, and each model is often only used for a specific specification of wire.

3 Ease of operation:

· The BLMT mechanical terminal lug are bolted and can be installed using a sleeve without professional crimping tools, which makes the operation easy and convenient.

· In contrast, ordinary terminals require hydraulic pliers for crimping, and the operation may be more complicated.

4 Performance and security:

· The torque shear bolt design of the torsion terminal will not damage the cable conductor, ensuring the stable working performance of the product. In addition, the tube hole is coated with conductive paste, which has anti-oxidation and anti-corrosion characteristics, thus extending the service life of the product.

· Common terminals may not achieve the same level of performance and safety as torsion terminals.

In summary, there are obvious differences between BLMT mechanical terminal lug and ordinary terminals in terms of design and construction, materials and applications, ease of operation, and performance and safety. These differences make BLMT mechanical terminal lug show higher efficiency and reliability in some application scenarios. However, the specific choice of terminals needs to be considered according to the actual application requirements and environmental conditions.
