Bronze spades (AKA as Bronze Spade Terminals / Spade Terminal Connectors for Transformers) are a type of electrical connector used for making connections between components or conductors in the transformers or power distribution system. These Spade connectors are often used to establish secure and reliable electrical connections between wires, conductors, and terminals. Our Bronze foundry in India casts and CNC machines Bronze Spades and Terminals.

Bronze Spades – Spade Terminals connectors are used for stud to single or multiple bus bar vertical takeoffs and connections.

Features of  Bronze Spades:

  • Crafted from high copper content alloy and Tin plated
  • For use with Aluminum or Copper compression or bolted type lugs
  • Spade Terminal Spade Connector lug mounting holes are 9/16” diameter with 1-3/4” NEMA (National Electrical Manufacturers Association) spacing
  • Bronze Spades Can be supplied with studs bonded to terminal
  • We cast and offer Bronze spades in CDA 833, CDA 836, CDA 954, CDA 955, CDA 956 grades or any special alloy needed
  • These Spades – Spade Terminals Spade Connectors can be supplied with stud locking set screws (may be offered with stud locking set screws )

 

Bronze is a metal alloy known for its electrical conductivity, corrosion resistance, and durability. Bronze spade connectors might be used in various applications within the power distribution system, including:

  • Terminating Conductors: Bronze spade connectors can be used to terminate the ends of power cables or conductors. They are crimped or soldered onto the wires to create a solid electrical connection that can be easily attached to terminals or other components.
  • Transformer Connections: Bronze spades might be used to connect the wiring of transformers to distribution lines or other parts of the power grid. These connectors help ensure efficient and secure connections for power transmission.
  • Switchgear and Circuit Breakers: Within switchgear and circuit breaker panels, Bronze spade connectors can be used to connect control wires, signalling wires, or power conductors to different components within the system.
  • Grounding Applications: Bronze spade connectors might also be used in grounding applications, helping to establish reliable connections between grounding conductors and equipment.

It’s important to note that while Bronze is a suitable material for certain electrical applications due to its conductivity and durability, modern electrical connectors might also be made from other materials such as Copper, Aluminium, or various alloys.
