Terminations for Aerospace, Lightweight

TE Connectivity (TE), a world leader in connectivity, has announced its new COPALUM Lite sealed terminals and splices that provide up to 60 per cent in weight savings versus copper terminal alternatives, and up to 53 per cent weight savings versus drop-forged aluminium terminals. The new terminals feature the time-tested dry crimp technology that has provided three decades of reliable connectivity to the commercial aerospace industry. The grease-free COPALUM dry crimp technology provides an efficient, reliable and clean crimp process using a single-step crimp for conductor termination and wire sealing. The terminal’s screened crimp barrel cuts through aluminium oxides to form a long-lasting, oxide-free termination. The single-crimp process reduces applied cost by eliminating the need for a second crimp for wire sealing. Additional efficiency gains can be expected by an enhanced wire barrel design, making wire insertion easy with ample room for conductors. These terminals also offer flexible design options. Single- or dual-hole terminals can be customized with straight or angled tongues, enabling a good fit in almost any customer application.
