Aluminum Connectors

IHI is a leader in the design and manufacture of aluminum connectors. Aluminum is the most economic material for carrying current, and extruded aluminum connectors are the most cost effective for manufacturing aluminum connector applications for wire ranges of AWG 6 to 1500 MCM kcmil. Electronic PCB aluminum connectors from AWG 18 -2

Aluminum connectors offer a weight reduction of two thirds over copper connectors for the same physical size.

Only aluminum connectors offer dual rating for use of both aluminum or copper wire in the same aluminum connector.

Unlike copper which is relatively difficult to form into complex hollow shapes, extruded aluminum connectors offer the designer an enormous variety of shapes at low much cost. This enables many innovative designs to be implemented. Aluminum connectors have been the primary method of connecting wire and cable to electrical equipment for many decades in North America where testing standards applied by UL and CSA have been used extensively to prove the reliability of aluminum connectors design.

The enormous extent of use of aluminum connectors in North America in almost every class of electrical panels, switches, circuit breakers, fuse holders, electrical machinery, and industrial and commercial building wiring, has resulted in tried and tested solutions in low cost, recyclable aluminum.
