  • Waterproof, UV-resistant, and corrosion-proof design

  • PA66 fiberglass-reinforced body for mechanical strength

  • Zinc alloy shear-head bolt ensures constant pressure and reliable torque

  • Copper/Aluminium contact teeth for Cu–Cu, Al–Al, or Cu–Al compatibility

  • High insulation strength up to 12 kV

  • Safe for installation on energized mains (not under load)

  • Compact and lightweight structure for easy handling

  • Fully tested under NFC 33 020, ANSI C119.5, EN 50483-4 standards

The TX-IPC-LVN-01 Low Voltage Insulation Piercing Connector, also called Low Voltage Cable Connector Conductor Range (Main 6–25 mm² / Branch 6–25 mm²), is designed for quick, reliable, and maintenance-free electrical connections in low-voltage distribution systems. It ensures perfect electrical contact between insulated aluminium or copper conductors without the need to strip insulation. The PA66 fiberglass-reinforced thermoplastic housing provides excellent UV, aging, and corrosion resistance, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor installations.

Equipped with a shear-head bolt, it guarantees precise tightening torque and consistent pressure during installation. Its waterproof sealing system prevents moisture ingress, ensuring long-term stability and performance even in harsh environmental conditions. This Low Voltage Cable Connector is ideal for low-voltage aerial bundled cables (ABC), street lighting, and residential power networks.

Standard: NFC 33 020, ANSI C119.5, EN 50483-4

Construction & Materials:

  • Body: PA66 Fiberglass Reinforced Thermoplastic,  High-strength, UV-resistant thermoplastic for durability and insulation.

  • Teeth: Tinned copper alloy/ Copper/Aluminium Teeth for excellent conductivity and corrosion resistance.

  • Bolts: Hot-dip galvanized or stainless steel with Zinc Alloy Shear Head for torque control.

  • Sealant: Pre-filled waterproof grease ensures a watertight connection and corrosion protection.

  • End Cap: Integrated PVC Cap which prevents contamination and loss during installation.

  • Color: Black

Performance & Reliability:

  • Watertightness: Tested at 6 kV for 1 minute under water.

  • Electrical Contact: Teeth penetrate insulation without conductor damage.

  • Mechanical Strength: Maintains cable integrity under load and vibration.

  • Environmental Resistance: Performs reliably in UV, rain, and temperature variations.

  • Maintenance-Free: Long service life with minimal degradation over time.

  • Safety: Live-line installation possible under non-load conditions.

Installation Guide

  1. Ensure the cables are within the specified conductor range.

  2. Insert the main and branch conductors into the connector grooves.

  3. Use a dielectric torque wrench to tighten the shear-head bolt (M8) to the rated 9 Nm torque.

  4. The head will shear off automatically when optimal contact is achieved.

  5. Ensure the PVC end cap is properly sealed to maintain waterproofing.

  6. No need to strip insulation or use additional sealing compounds.
