Connector Products (CPI)

CPI Running Rail Connectors are designed as a permanent connection for copper conductor to a variety of rails used in Heavy Rail Mass Transit systems. Constructed with a heavy duty aircraft-quality steel spring member, copper cable nest, indentor, hex head bolt and locking nut.

  • No drilling in rail or need to weld conductor to the rail!
  • Rail is not subjected to warping by excessive heat or weakening by drilling
  • Labor saving - installation time can take as little as 10 minutes per connection
  • Fewer rail connections required due to large conductor capacity (Single conductors up to 1000 kcmil, Dual conductors up to 750 kcmil)
  • Large conductors can be bent away from the rail after installation without the risk of damaging the connector
  • The clamp is an active spring applying a consistent force on the conductor ensuring a positive connection through heat cycling and train vibration
  • The J-shaped spring member of the connector helps overcome loosening issues, problems associated with harsh train vibration, by flexing rather than breaking - a static-type connection doesn't have this resiliency and could crack under prolonged vibration
  • Consistent spring pressure prevents moisture and contamination from seeping into the connection
  • All copper components are tin plated and steel components are galvanized
