(IPC) is one of our core products. This article will comprehensively introduce the structure, working principle, application
scenarios, and advantages of insulation puncture wire clamps, helping customers gain a deeper understanding of this
important power component.
Structure and composition of insulation puncture wire clamp
The design of insulation puncture cable clamps aims to ensure safe and reliable electrical connections without
damaging the insulation layer of the cable. Its main components include:
High strength casing: The casing is made of high-performance insulation materials, which can effectively resist
environmental factors and electrical risks.
Piercing blades: These blades are precision machined to penetrate the insulation layer of cables and make contact
with conductors without causing damage to the cables themselves.
Sealing gaskets and waterproof grease: These components ensure a waterproof seal around the cable, preventing
moisture from seeping in and maintaining the electrical integrity of the connection.
High strength bolts and torque nuts: These fasteners are used to apply appropriate clamping force to ensure that
the puncture blade is in close contact with the cable conductor.
Cable terminal cap: This component provides additional protection for the cable end, ensuring a smooth transition
of branch connections.
Working principle of insulation puncture wire clamp
The working principle of the insulation puncture wire clamp is based on its clever mechanical design. When branch
connections are required, the following steps are usually followed:
Preparation: Insert the terminal of the branch cable into the cable terminal cap and determine the position of the
branch connection on the main cable.
Installation process: Position the insulation puncture cable clamp on the main cable and tighten the torque nut
with a wrench. As the nut is tightened, the puncture blade is pressed into the cable insulation layer and comes
into contact with the conductor.
Sealing and connection: At the same time, the sealing rubber ring is compressed on the cable insulation layer,
and waterproof grease is filled in the gaps to form a firm and waterproof connection. When the optimal torque
is reached, the torque nut automatically falls off, indicating that the connection has been completed.
Application scenarios of insulation puncture wire clamp
Due to its multifunctionality and reliability, insulation puncture wire clips are widely used in various electrical fields,
with main application scenarios including:
• Power distribution network: Insulation piercing clamps are widely used for branch connections in overhead and
underground power distribution networks. It can quickly connect without cutting or peeling off the outer skin.
Communication network: In communication networks, insulation piercing clamps are used to connect branch cables
to main feeder cables, ensuring the reliability of signal transmission.
Industrial facilities: In industrial settings, insulation piercing clamps are used to connect power and control cables,
facilitating efficient power distribution and control systems.
Renewable energy system: With the widespread application of renewable energy, insulation piercing wire clamps are
used in solar and wind energy devices to connect photovoltaic arrays and wind turbines as cables.
The advantages of using insulated puncture wire clamps
Compared with traditional cable connection methods, insulation puncture clamps have many significant advantages:
Easy installation: No complex tools or professional training are required to quickly complete the installation, thereby
reducing installation time and labor costs.
• Safe and reliable: Its design ensures a secure and reliable connection without damaging the cable insulation layer.
Its waterproof and corrosion-resistant properties further improve the service life and reliability of the connection.
Cost effectiveness: By reducing the need for cable cutting, stripping, and additional connectors, insulation piercing
clamps provide an economically efficient electrical connection solution.
• Maintenance free: After installation, the insulation puncture clamp requires almost no maintenance, reducing overall
operating costs and ensuring long-term stable operation.
Insulation piercing clamps are essential components in modern power systems, providing a safe, reliable, and efficient
method for electrical connections. Its unique design and functionality make it suitable for various application scenarios
such as power distribution, communication, and industrial facilities. As a professional B2B power fittings manufacturer,
