Tin plated pure copper or copper alloy blades imbedded in molded plastic and surro-unded with a sealing compound insure electrical contact in 1kv or 10kv overhead distrib-ution networks.A single or double torque-control nut draw the two halves of the connector togeter and shears off when the teeth have pierced the insulation and made contact with the conductor strands.The mechanical strength of the connection is in accordance with the tensile requirements of ANSI class 3 or NF(French standards) C 33020 while the electrical performance meets or exceeds the test outlined in ANSIC 119.4 class or NF C33004.the dielectric and waterproof tests are to the rigid standards of NF C33020 and corrosion test per NF C 33003.the end cap is attached to the connector assembly and provide end cable sealing for tap or splice applications.The installed end caps have been tested for dielectric strength and resist 6kv for one minute
