CABAC BI-METAL STALK 150MM2 CABLE BS150/12 x 1/EACH

Description

Reliable Bi-Metal Connection for Aluminium to Copper Terminations

The CABAC BI-METAL STALK 150MM2 CABLE BS150/12 is designed to provide a secure and efficient termination when connecting 150 mm² stranded aluminium conductors to copper equipment or busbars. The friction-welded aluminium barrel and copper palm create a dependable bi-metal interface that minimises resistance and supports consistent electrical performance in demanding installations.

Manufactured from 99.6% pure aluminium sleeve and 99.95% pure copper palm, the lug offers strong conductivity while maintaining mechanical durability. The barrel is pre-coated with jointing compound to help reduce oxidation and improve long-term connection stability. This ensures dependable current flow and helps prevent overheating or connection failure on high-load circuits.

Designed for stranded sector and circular stranded aluminium cable, the 150 mm² bi-metal stalk lug provides a practical and efficient termination option for switchboards, distribution equipment, and industrial installations.

Built for Compliance and Long-Term Electrical Reliability

CABAC bi-metal stalk lugs are manufactured to Australian dimensions, ensuring compatibility with standard Australian crimping tools used across commercial and industrial electrical work. The friction-welded join follows IEC welding standards, delivering a strong and reliable bond between the aluminium and copper sections.

Compliance with multiple international standards provides additional assurance for contractors working on regulated sites or specification-driven projects. The product meets recognised standards including:

• AS/NZS4325 Part 1

• IEC France

• DIN/VDE Germany

• JIS Japan

• BS United Kingdom

The lug is fully annealed, improving ductility and allowing a secure crimp without cracking or structural weakening. With an operating temperature range of –40°C to +125°C, it is suitable for demanding environments including outdoor installations, industrial switchboards, and infrastructure projects.

Trade-Ready Design That Saves Time on Site

Every CABAC bi-metal stalk lug is individually packed and pre-treated with jointing compound, reducing prep time on site and helping electricians achieve faster, cleaner installations. The lug design allows straightforward crimping using standard Australian tooling, making it easy to integrate into existing workflows without specialised equipment.

For contractors managing multiple projects, reliability and availability are critical. Products like the CABAC BS150/12 bi-metal stalk lug help reduce installation delays by providing a dependable solution for aluminium-to-copper terminations commonly found in switchboards, distribution panels, and heavy-duty power systems.

Backed by trusted manufacturing quality and compliant with recognised standards, this lug provides electricians with the confidence needed to complete installations efficiently while maintaining electrical safety and compliance.
