The Tin-Coated Brass Teeth of Insulation Piercing Connector (IPC) ZOP-74 Made by Jera Line

The ZOP-74 is a type of low voltage nsulation piercing connector (IPC) designed for low-voltage overhead cable connections. The connection between two conductors is set up using an IPC, without need to strip the insulation of the conductor. This ensures a quick and secure connection while maintaining conductor integrity.

Why do we use Tin-Coated Brass Teeth?

Jera Line has stamping machine to produce Tin-coated brass teeth , to use tin coated brass teeth in IPCs have the following advantages:

• Improved electrical conductivity: Brass provides good electrical conductivity, and tin coating helps maintain a stable, corrosion-resistant contact surface, reducing contact resistance over time.
• Corrosion resistance: Tin plating protects the underlying brass from oxidation, especially in humid or polluted environments. This helps prevent increased contact resistance, pitting, or fretting corrosion that can degrade performance.
• Compatibility with various materials: The tin-coated brass teeth ensure robust and stable connections with various conductor types, including both copper and aluminum. This versatility makes them ideal for a wide range of applications, such as residential wiring and industrial power systems.
• Thermal and electrical reliability: Tin coatings can help manage surface diffusion and maintain a stable contact under a range of temperatures, which is important in high-current or vibration-prone installations.

The tin-coated brass teeth perform excellently in electrical systems but cost more than aluminum ones. Jera Line’s LV IPC ZOP-74, with its tin-coated brass teeth, is more suitable for harsh environments. However, in some standard scenarios, tin-coated aluminum teeth are sufficient.

Select either aluminum or copper teeth based on your specific requirements, or simply inform us of your needs. Jera Line will recommend the most suitable product to eliminate your selection challenges.

Conclusion

Jera Line manufactures all parts of the IPC on-site, including outer sheaths produced by injection machines, piercing teeth made by punch presses, and shear head bolts crafted by drilling machines. For the piercing teeth, Jera Line offers customization in materials such as tin-coated aluminum, tin-coated brass, or tin-coated pure copper. Choosing Jera Line as your IPC supplier will save your time in finding products that have high quality and affordable costs.
