All numerical values are in metric units [with U.S. customary units in brackets]. Dimensions are in millimeters [and inches].
Unless otherwise specified, dimensions have a tolerance of ±0.13 [±.005] and angles have a tolerance of ±2°. Figures and

1. INTRODUCTION
This specification covers the requirements for application of COPALUM sealed terminals and splices, which are
especially suited for the aerospace industry. These terminals and splices are designed to be terminated to fine
stranded aluminum (Al) wire sizes 8.6 to 110.9 mm
2
[8 to 4/0 AWG] and copper (Cu) wire sizes 4.8 to 85.9 mm
2
[10 to 3/0 AWG]. The terminals are available in a variety of ring tongue lengths, shapes, and stud hole sizes.
Markings on the terminals and splices indicate the accepted wire sizes and types (Al for aluminum and Cu for
copper).
Each sealed terminal and splice has a barrier that helps locate and seal the wire barrel and a funnel lead-in
chamfer in the wire barrel that helps guide the wire. A perforated insert in the wire barrel causes a wiping action
on the wire during crimping, removing oxides and forming a solid electrical bond between the wire and terminal
or splice.
Standard butt splices have a wire barrel at each end and are used for joining aluminum-to-aluminum,
aluminum-to-“down size” copper, or copper-to-copper wires. Transitional butt splices have a wire barrel at each
end and are used for joining aluminum and copper wires. A blue ring around one wire barrel (which has no
perforated insert) indicates the copper wire end of the splice.
All sealed terminals and splices are designed to be crimped with precision dies and a power-assist unit, which
perform a unique dry crimp that removes oxides to expose uncontaminated metal surfaces and seals the
termination to prevent oxidation.
When corresponding with personnel, use the terminology provided in this specification to facilitate your
inquiries for information. Basic terms and features of this product are provided in Figure 1.

The circumferential crimp alignment knurl and asterisk alignment mark featured on each wire barrel of the
splice indicates the direction that the splice should be placed in the dies when crimping the splice.
NOTE
Copper wire has a greater electrical conductivity, density, and weight than aluminum wire of the same size. Because of this
differentiation, there is a down size difference from an aluminum to copper wire. Size differences are given in Figure 2.

3.2. Storage
A. Ultraviolet Light
Prolonged exposure to ultraviolet light may deteriorate the chemical composition used in the product
material.
B. Shelf Life
The product should remain in the shipping containers until ready for use to prevent deformation to
components. The product should be used on a first in, first out basis to avoid storage contamination that
could adversely affect performance.
C. Chemical Exposure
Do not store product near any chemical listed below as they may cause stress corrosion cracking in the
material.
Alkalies Ammonia Citrates Phosphates Citrates Sulfur Compounds
Amines Carbonates Nitrites Sulfur Nitrites Tartrates
3.3. Wire Selection and Preparation
DANGER
To avoid personal injury, DO NOT use larger or smaller aluminum or copper wire sizes than those designated.
The terminal or splice selected will be determined by the wire size and type and wire insulation diameter which
is given on the customer drawing of each terminal and splice. For standard butt splices, a cross-reference of
wire size marking-to-use is given in Figure 2.
