Tightening torque
Recommended tightening torque for
wet lubricated screws and nuts bright
galvanized zinc type with strength class
8.
Use socket wrench tighten the screws.
• Always use hard flat washer reduce
friction against the connection surface
and the edge pressure, hardness min
HB200. See table Chapter 12.
Handles multiple area steps
The advantages shearbolt terminals
are that installation can done easily
without any heavy special tools and that
they can manage several area steps in
the same through connector/terminal,
for example 10-50 mm².

Shearbolt terminals
Shearbolt terminals kV
Elpress shearbolt terminals are available
as through connectors and terminals for:
• stranded and solid and cables
• round cross section 630 mm²
• sector cross section 240 mm²
SL240N-12
The screws used are made brass, that
has the advantage providing lower
friction compared aluminium steel
screws. This makes easier for the user
to perform the installation.8, used for connecting terminals with
Cu and palms:
• Always use torque wrench cer-
tain the right torque achieved.
Labelling
Elpress marking shearbolt terminals
shows logo, product name, cable area
(for stranded and solid conductors) and
shearbolt installation order.
Through connector SC50R50S with pre-assem-
bled screws. The terminal
palm marked with screw size M-thread
for bolted joints. reduce the number
of terminal variants, screw terminals are
supplied with reduction washers that
allow the use two different bolt sizes.8 and coarse threaded (normal thread),
used with corresponding washer for
connection terminals with Cu- and Al
palm.
Washers are always needed for con-
necting terminals with screw joints to
busbars.
Shearbolt terminals are made harde-
ned aluminium with alloy that allows
both copper and aluminium cable be
joined, while preventing the occurence of
galvanic corrosion. SC50R50S also suitable as
a screen connector for 10-35 mm² Cu/Al. SL70R70S-10-12

The following apply for bright galvanized
type nuts and screws, with strength class
8.
• Use the recommended torque according
to the screw manufacturer’s instruc-
tions.
We recommend that the fitter uses a
counterhold tool secure the shearbolt
terminal more easily when tightening the
screws. Make
sure calibrated regular intervals
according the supplier’s instructions.

On the SC50R50S through connector, the
screws are threaded into the sleeve and
can handle all their cable areas one th-
