Copper, Aluminium & Bimetallic Tube Terminals
AEW manufactures a complete range of copper, aluminium, and bimetallic compression terminals and connectors designed to deliver reliable electrical performance across every application. Our terminals are available in sizes ranging from 1.5 mm² to 1000 mm², covering a broad spectrum of conductor cross-sections for both low and high-voltage connections.
Each terminal is precisely engineered for optimum conductivity and crimping performance. Our terminals are also available with inspection hole or notch to verify proper conductor placement during crimping, and with or without bell-mouthed entry to ensure smooth and easy cable insertion — allowing customers to select configurations best suited to their application needs.
Our products are manufactured from high-conductivity ETP-grade copper and EC-grade aluminium with electro-tinned or natural finishes, ensuring superior corrosion resistance and durability under demanding environmental conditions. The bimetallic range is friction-welded for perfect copper-to-aluminium bonding, eliminating galvanic corrosion and ensuring optimal current transfer in dissimilar metal connections.
At AEW, every terminal is built to meet international standards and tested for crimp integrity, tensile strength, and conductivity, ensuring that every connection you make is strong, reliable, and built to last.
Our Product Range
Quality Beyond Compliance
Evaluates crimp retention strength and ensures the conductor remains secure under vibration, tensile load, and mechanical stress.
Simulates harsh environmental exposure and confirms long-term corrosion resistance in coastal, industrial, and high-humidity conditions.
Measures current transfer efficiency and guarantees low resistance, reduced heat generation, and stable electrical performance.
Checks tin plating thickness and uniformity to ensure oxidation protection, increased durability, and enhanced solderability.
Validates ETP-grade copper and EC-grade aluminium purity, ensuring maximum electrical conductivity and optimal current flow.
Assesses mechanical properties post-forging and annealing, ensuring the ideal balance of ductility and strength for reliable crimping and long service life.
All tests comply with IEC 61238-1, UL 486A/B, and DIN 46235 standards.
