Aluminium Copper Lug Type XCX

The EBM Aluminium-Copper Lug Type XCX is a heavy-duty uninsulated compression connector designed to join aluminium conductors to copper conductors or copper termination points, making it ideal for mixed-metal electrical connections in power distribution and electrical reticulation systems.

By combining aluminium and copper in a single lug (bimetallic/compression design), Type XCX helps manage the inherent challenges of connecting dissimilar metals, ensuring a safer, more reliable electrical and mechanical joint than a simple direct connection would allow.

Typical Applications

• Terminating aluminium power cables onto copper busbars, transformer terminals, or switchgear.
• Making safe, durable transitions between aluminium overhead/distribution line conductors and copper components in substations or distribution boards.
• Use in residential, commercial, or industrial electrical distribution systems where mixed-metal connections are required.
• Use in both low-voltage (LV) and medium voltage (MV) distribution systems, provided conductor and lug sizes match.
