The Burndy WEJTAP™ connector system is uniquely designed to provide unparalleled reliability both in terms of tooling operation and long-term performance of connection produced. Specific features and benefits include:
Unique C-member design:The extrusion line and grain-elongation directions in Burndy wedge connectors run along the direction of wedge insertion producing superior clamping forces and affording enhanced debris dispersal which allows oxide inhibitor/contaminants to flow out of the way of direct metal-to-metal contact. Sand-cast wedge component:Burndy WEJTAP™ sand-cast aluminum alloy wedge produces an abrasive surface that enhances the wiping action achieved during the rapid wedge insertion and serves to disrupt and remove oxides present on the conductor surface.
Weather-proof, rim-fired booster: The power booster utilized in the Burndy WEJTAP™ system is of a rim-fire design, employs a brass power cell contained within a plastic piston and encased within a nylon cartridge. The power booster uses standard black powder and gases through a pre-designed vent hole. This design is waterproof, extremely reliable and provides a unique recessed power cell for added safety.
