Compression cable lugs to DIN 46235

DIN

DIN stands for 'German Institute for Standardization'. It is an independent organization that develops standards and norms to ensure the quality, safety and compatibility of products and services. DIN standards are widely used in Germany and are often internationally recognized. They help to standardize technical specifications and serve as the basis for technical regulations to ensure efficiency and quality in various industries.

DIN 46235

DIN 46235 is a specific standard that deals with the 'processing of copper tubes for crimp connections'. More specifically, this standard specifies the requirements and test conditions for soft copper tubes used to make crimp connections. Crimp connections are mechanical connections that are made without soldering, welding or screwing by firmly connecting a tube (usually made of copper) to an electrical conductor by deformation.

The DIN 46235 standard describes, among other things

• Material requirements: the standard specifies which properties the copper tube must have, such as the strength and purity of the copper.
• Dimensions: Standard sizes and tolerances for the tubes are defined.
• Test methods: The standard describes how to test the quality of the crimp connections to ensure that they meet the required standards. This includes tensile strength tests and other mechanical tests.
• Marking: It specifies how the conduits are to be marked to demonstrate their conformity with the standard.

This standard is of particular importance in electrical engineering and electronics as it ensures that crimp connections are reliable and durable.

Hilpress compression cable lugs

Discover our high-quality compression cable lugs in accordance with DIN 46235, which are ideal for reliable and secure connections in electrical installations. These cable lugs are made from high-quality electrolytic copper (E-Cu) and offer excellent conductivity and durability.

Product features:

• Standard: Our compression cable lugs comply with DIN 46235, which stands for high quality standards and safe use.
• Material: Made from E-Cu (electrolytic copper), which is known for its excellent electrical and mechanical properties.
• Finish: Choose between two versions: bare copper (Cu bare) and tin-plated.
• Compression cable lugs with a bare copper surface are ideal for applications that require high conductivity and minimal contact resistance.
• Tin-plated compression cable lugs offer additional corrosion protection and are particularly suitable for environments with high demands on resistance to external influences.
• A compression cable lug is larger and longer than a conventional tubular cable lug.
• Conventional tubular cable lugs have different tube diameters compared to DIN compression cable lugs.
• The markings on the tube of a DIN compression cable lug (bar code) indicate how many crimps are required and what width these should be (there are both wide and narrow crimps, hence two parallel bar lines).
• The flange of the DIN crimping cable lug is embossed with the cross-section, hole diameter and manufacturer as well as a code number indicating the appropriate tool insert.
• The crimping inserts for DIN compression cable lugs also have a code number that leaves a control mark on the cable lug after crimping (in the example shown top left, the number '20').
• In accordance with standard 46235, it is recommended to use hexagonal crimping inserts for DIN compression cable lugs.
• According to the standard, these cable lugs may be used for solid, stranded, fine and super-fine stranded copper cables. Their main area of application is in the energy supply sector.
• We supply compression cable lugs with cross-sections from 6 to 240 mm².

Our compression cable lugs are the perfect choice for a reliable connection in a wide range of electrical applications. Whether in industrial systems, mechanical engineering or electrical installation - with our products, you can rely on quality and safety.
