Aluminum Vise Connectors & Aluminum Vise Clamps
(Aluminum Vise Connectors & Aluminum Vise Clamps)
Product Description
Aluminum Vise Connectors are mechanical, solderless connectors designed for grounding and bonding applications. These connectors use a vise-type, screw-driven clamping mechanism that securely accepts two conductors within the specified range, in any combination.
Manufactured using high-pressure Die Casting (DGC) of Aluminum followed by precision CNC machining, these connectors provide consistent dimensions, strong mechanical grip, and reliable electrical continuity for utility and industrial grounding systems.
Key Design & Performance Features
- Accepts two conductors within the listed conductor range, in any combination
- Vise-type clamping action for secure, vibration-resistant connections
- Side-opening, one-piece design for easy installation and reduced loose parts
- Wide conductor range reduces inventory and SKU count
- Suitable for grounding and bonding of structures, cabinets, enclosures, and equipment
- Aluminum construction offers excellent strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion resistance
- Designed for field installation using standard tools, including gloved handling
Manufacturing Process
- Primary Process: Aluminum Die Casting (DGC)
- Secondary Process: CNC Machining (critical dimensions, conductor grooves, threads)
- Hardware: Stainless steel or plated steel (as specified)
- Finish: As-cast or customer-specified surface treatment
Typical Applications
- Grounding and bonding taps
- Cabinet and enclosure grounding
- Equipment bonding connections
- Utility grounding systems
- Industrial earthing grids
- Telecom and infrastructure grounding
