Hereby we inform you that our products contained SVHC substance lead (CAS 7439-92-1) with concentration higher than 0.1% are now registered in SCIP database at ECHA (European Chemicals Agency). Those products contain aluminium and/or copper alloy in our connecting technology and are mentioned in BBC Cellpack REACH-Declaration of conformity regarding Regulation EC/1907/2006 from 28.02.2022, the products can be sold. The SCIP database number is protected by Data Protection Law and is not listed here.
The reason for the registration in SCIP database is described in Directive (EU) 2018/851, paragraph 38: “When products, materials and substances become waste, the presence of hazardous substances may render that waste unsuitable for recycling or the production of secondary raw materials of high quality. Therefore, in line with the 7th Environment Action Programme, which calls for the development of non-toxic material cycles, it is necessary to promote measures to reduce the content of hazardous substances in materials and products, including recycled materials, and to ensure that sufficient information about the presence of hazardous substances and especially substances of very high concern is communicated throughout the whole life cycle of products and materials. In order to achieve those objectives, it is necessary to improve the coherence among the law of the Union on waste, on chemicals and on products and to provide a role for the European Chemicals Agency to ensure that the information about the presence of substances of very high concern is available throughout the whole life cycle of products and materials, including at the waste stage”.

If the DR-L connectors have a second crimping point in the component application, they can be used on solid conductors. Since the DR connectors are designed shorter and only allow one crimping point, the component application cannot be used for solid conductors. The common crimping pliers have 2 crimping points in the jaws, i.e. on the DR-L, the pliers are applied 2x for left and right. On the DR, the pliers are pressed on both sides with 1x pressing operation. The EASY-FIX system application is in turn available on solid conductors.
(Component application = direct reference to the crimp connector)

Screw connectors CSV-LHS & CSV-T and screw cable lugs CSK from BBC Cellpack are made of aluminium alloy. Within electroplating process the complete surface (inside and outside) is tinned. Tin is a typical coating material, applicable for both Al and Cu parts, which make direct contact between aluminium and Copper parts possible without additional handling. Please be aware that tin layer should not be damaged. This is state-of-the-art technology, being used by all main producers of screw connectors and cable lugs in Europe.

-
The contact pin can be removed with a long socket, which makes it possible to reuse it. We recommend using an additional set, because the surfaces are both cleaned and the lubricant GM1 must be reused. It is also important to ensure appropriate air-release during installation on the feed-through and the termination insert. The required torque is available on request.
-
-
The screw cable lugs of the connector product range are not suitable for this application. This type of cable is very special and requires deeper inspection for suitability.
-
-
The tensile strength of BBC Cellpack sets depends on the system used (e.g.: shell with mounting, screwed connection, tensile connectors). The standard for sets does not include a tensile test of the installed joint. The standard for compression and screw connectors refers to DIN EN 61238-1, which describes the requirements for mechanical testing. A strain relief implies that no tensile forces are applied.
-
-
The conductor shapes are tested at the factory: RE (round, solid), RM (round, stranded), SE (sector, solid) and SM (sector, stranded). Connectors and cable lugs are approved for conductor class 1 (solid conductor construction) and 2 (stranded conductor construction). Compressed conductors (RMv and SMv) are also supported. There is no approval available for class 5 (fine stranded conductors) and class 6 (extra fine stranded conductors).

BBC Cellpack's AK screw branch clamps are suitable for branching aluminium or copper conductors. To ensure that no parts are lost, we recommend that you only open the AK clamp after the cable ends have been prepared. This is done by stripping the main conductor in the contact area without cutting the conductor. The conductor of the branch is also stripped at the end and then placed above the main conductor. To open the AK clamp, remove the contact screw and the upper plastic half. The AK clamp is assembled in the reverse order.
Two aluminium or two copper conductors can also be connected, but aluminium and copper cannot be combined due to the design.

BBC Cellpack's FK overhead line terminals are suitable for branching copper conductors. To ensure that no parts are lost, we recommend that you only open the FK terminal after the cable ends have been prepared. This is done by stripping the main conductor in the contact area without cutting the conductor. The conductor of the branch is also stripped at the end and then placed above the main conductor. To open the FK clamp, remove the nut. The FK clamp is assembled in the reverse order. Two copper conductors can also be connected.

-
BBC Cellpack's KP branch clamps are suitable for branching copper conductors. To open the KP clamp, turn the screw to the end of the thread. The main cable and the branch cable are then positioned in the housing recesses provided for this purpose without stripping them. To assemble the KP clamp, the screw is tightened again, while the wires are contacted by the integrated cutting contact.

Yes, CHE/CAE cable terminations can be used with class 5 & 6 conductors according to the cross-section ranges specified in the data sheet. Use cable lugs that are suitable for this class of conductor. CHESK/CAESK cable terminations are differentiated from CHE/CAE by the screw cable lug in the kit. They may not be used with class 5 & 6 conductors.
-
-
When assembling screw connectors and screw cable lugs, forces occur which can no longer be compensated manually. As a result, deformations can occur in the transition area. Deformations can impair the function of the set and damage the conductor material. We recommend using a counter-holder, because of its leverage effect with various tools.
-
-
If a cable lug is not already supplied by BBC Cellpack, it should be selected according to specific criteria. In addition to the conductor (material, cross section, shape), the length and diameter of the hole, the longitudinal watertightness is particularly important. This is due to the fact that the set is directly exposed to environmental influences (such as rain).
-
-
Compression cable lugs according to DIN 46235 and compression connectors according to DIN 46267 are generally suitable for a hexagonal compression of class 5 and 6 conductors (DIN/IEC 60228), this can be verified in a separate test sequence (e.g.: DIN IEC 61238).
-
-
For concentric conductors (without a fixed conductor shape), compression connectors tested according to DIN 46267 can be used. Screw solutions are also possible, but they must first be checked for suitability.

-
Standard over-the-counter crimping pliers can be used for insulated connectors. Please enquire with the manufacturer of your choice.

-
- The tools in the table have been tried and tested as assembly tools. A manufacturer-independent release of impact wrenches is not possible according to the current status, since only tested devices can be released (product liability).
- Notes on assembly: The tools must not have any defects and must be used properly and according to the enclosed instructions. They must also be positioned correctly and perpendicular to the shear bolt.
- There must be no leverage effect on the shear bolt. Suitable tool inserts (one-piece) must be used. The battery must be sufficiently charged. The assembly must be carried out according to the assembly instructions. The connectors or cable lugs must be approved for the respective application.
