VTE Inc. uses two type of retaining fasteners:
- Conductive Fasteners
- Mechanical Fasteners
Conductive Fasteners
Our conductive fasteners are used where current will pass through the fastener. The electrical properties are such that conductivity is superior to mechanical fasteners.
- Using copper as a standard:
100%
- - Brass conductivity: 37%
- - Stainless steel conductivity: 2.4%
Mechanical Fasteners
Our retaining fasteners are used where current does not need to pass through the fastener. An example of this would be at the end of a connection post, to tighten an assembly.
Some key points:
- Conductive nuts include: brass, tin-plated brass. On some bus material: nickel-plated brass. Brass is used for its superior conductivity to stainless steel.
- Mechanical nuts: stainless steel, steel. Steel is used to tighten, or torque an assembly. Steel is much harder, and can handle higher torque before distortion.
- Brass and copper are more expensive than steel, and are only used where conductivity is required.
- Brass (or plated) nuts are marked by VTE with a Blue Mark. This is to notify the installer that the fastener is for conductivity positions only.
- Conductivity nuts are installed by the factory, and must be left in their original position.
- When installing multiple lug or ring terminals, washers are not recommended between terminals.
VTE also offers insulator packages for our 8 point distribution post. We offer these packages in 1, 2, or multiple cable entries.
Included in each package is an insulator cap to protect against accidental shorts, a clear insulator disk, and an extra spacing conductive nut, to raise the terminal position.
