BAC pin brazed connectors have low transition resistance which does not change with time, and they can handle amperages above the capacity of the cable.

Brazing pins are available in direct connection or threaded formats of various sizes. A new ferrule must always be employed in pin brazing (the ferrule must be changed after each brazing operation). The purpose of the ferrule is to prevent splattering of the molten solder, to prevent oxidation of the molten solder, and to protect the operator against radiation from the arc. The ferrule must be stored dry.

BAC cable lugs are specially manufactured in the intended material for pin brazing. Consult the table of recommendations on the choice of a suitable cable lug. The lugs are made in two different types. M1 is pin brazed to the cable. M2 is crimped to the cable. Always use BAC approved crimping methods to ensure adequate contact.

Sleeves are manufactured to allow smaller cables to be crimped into larger than usual lugs. The cable is inserted into the sleeve, then the sleeve and cable are inserted into the lug. All three items are then crimped together.

Various approved crimping tools are available depending on application needed.
