Conductor Size: 2 - 500 MCM Cu Cable for 115 & 119 lb Rail

  • No drilling in rail or need to weld conductor to the rail!
  • Rail is not subjected to warping by excessive heat or to 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-shapred spring member of the connector helps overcoming loosening issue 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
