Prevent oxidation – the right protection for durable cables

When copper comes into contact with oxygen, the copper oxidizes and forms copper oxide. The copper oxide is green in color and acts as an insulator. It prevents the current from getting through and is a disaster for charging.

A tin coating around the copper protects it from oxygen and helps the copper stay fresh for longer. That is why we offer a wide range of tinned products.

To protect the cable, the crimping is critical. The crimping tool, cable lug, and cable must match each other. With hexagonal crimping, it is possible to crimp in a way that prevents oxygen from entering and oxidizing the cable.

We have the quality products needed to handle the crimping and ensure that you don’t have to redo the job of improving your electrical system again next season.
