COPALUM Lite sealed terminals and splices from TE Connectivity (TE) feature the time-tested, dry-crimp technology that has provided 30-years of reliable connectivity to the commercial aerospace industry. The optimized design provides a weight reduction of up to 60% over copper and dropforged lugs.

The terminal’s perforated insert, in the crimp barrel, penetrates aluminum oxides on the conductor to form a long-lasting, oxide-free termination. The single-crimp process also eliminates the need for a second crimp for wire sealing. Weight savings originate from the lightweight aluminum alloy, optimized wall thickness, and short barrel length.
