Description

ERKO Tinned Mechanical Shear Lug for Fast Installation

The ERKO KSSP-12-1695 Tinned Mechanical Shear Lug is engineered to simplify cable terminations while maintaining dependable electrical performance. Suitable for 16–95mm² conductors, this mechanical connector eliminates the need for hydraulic crimping equipment, making installation faster and more convenient on construction sites, maintenance projects, and switchboard assemblies.

Its innovative shear bolt design ensures the bolt consistently breaks flush with the connector body once the correct torque is achieved, providing repeatable installations regardless of conductor size within its operating range.

Reliable Performance with Repeatable Clamping Force

Designed for professional electrical installations, the connector supports copper and aluminium Class 1, Class 2, and Class 5 conductors. The controlled shear bolt mechanism delivers consistent clamping pressure, helping minimise clamping force relaxation while reducing the risk of conductor damage during installation.

The reduced friction during assembly protects cable strands, while improved contact reliability helps reduce partial discharge risks in electrical connections. This makes the connector an excellent choice for demanding commercial and industrial applications requiring dependable long-term performance.

Built for Trade Professionals

The versatile design reduces the number of connector sizes required compared with traditional compression systems, helping electricians streamline inventory and improve installation efficiency. It also enables reliable connections for flexible Class 5 conductors where conventional screw fittings may not be suitable.

Backed by iSupply Electrical’s extensive range of over 15,000 electrical products, licensed electricians and contractors can enjoy competitive trade pricing, fast Australia-wide delivery, and convenient pickup options to keep projects running on schedule.
