CABAC BI-METAL STALK 35MM2 CABLE BS35/12 x 1/EACH

Description

Reliable Bi-Metal Connection for Aluminium to Copper Terminations

The CABAC Bi-Metal Stalk Lug BS35/12 is designed for dependable termination of 35 mm² stranded sector and circular stranded aluminium cables where a copper connection point is required. The friction-welded aluminium barrel and copper palm create a secure transition between dissimilar metals, helping prevent galvanic corrosion and ensuring consistent electrical performance in demanding installations.

Manufactured using 99.6% pure aluminium and 99.95% pure copper, this bi-metal lug delivers strong conductivity and mechanical strength. The aluminium sleeve is pre-filled with jointing compound to improve electrical contact and protect against oxidation during installation, helping electricians achieve long-lasting terminations with minimal preparation on site.

Built for Compliance and Long-Term Performance

Engineered to meet Australian and international electrical standards, CABAC bi-metal lugs are manufactured to Australian dimensions and are compatible with standard Australian crimping tools. This makes installation straightforward for contractors while ensuring compliance with industry requirements on commercial, residential, and industrial projects.

The lug’s fully annealed construction and friction-welded joint provide excellent mechanical integrity and electrical conductivity. Designed to operate in temperatures from –40 °C to +125 °C, it performs reliably across a wide range of environments—from switchboards and distribution panels to outdoor infrastructure installations.

Compliance with recognised standards including AS/NZS 4325 Part 1, IEC, DIN/VDE, JIS, and BS ensures the product meets the expectations of licensed electricians who require approved components for safe and compliant installations.

Designed for Efficient Trade Installation

On busy job sites, installation speed and reliability matter. CABAC bi-metal stalk lugs are individually packaged and ready for use, helping reduce handling time and contamination before installation. The integrated jointing compound and Australian-standard dimensions allow electricians to quickly crimp connections using standard tooling without additional preparation.

Whether you’re terminating aluminium feeders in a switchboard upgrade or connecting supply cables in a commercial distribution setup, the BS35/12 lug helps deliver consistent electrical connections while minimising rework and downtime. For contractors managing tight project schedules, dependable components like these help keep installations moving and compliant.
