Where the RCL2.5 Crimp Link Is Used

A compression crimp link (also called a crimp joiner or crimp sleeve) joins two conductor ends together — the conductors are inserted from each end of the link body and a compression crimp tool closes the barrel around both conductors, making a permanent, mechanically secure, low-resistance electrical joint. The crimp link is the correct method for extending a conductor run, jointing cables in a junction box or enclosure, or connecting two cable ends where a screw terminal or connector block is not appropriate or practical.

The RCL2.5 is sized for 2.5mm² conductor — the standard cable size used for power circuits in Australian residential and commercial wiring including ring mains, power points, and general purpose outlets. The tinned copper construction combines the excellent conductivity of annealed copper with a tin electroplated surface that resists oxidation and maintains a clean, low-resistance contact surface over the life of the joint. The single crimp design is applied with a K26 crimping die using a standard compression crimp tool.

Crimp links in the RCL range are available in sizes from 1.5mm² through to 70mm² — covering the full range of common cable conductor sizes used in Australian electrical installations.

Q: What is the difference between a crimp link and a crimp lug?
A: A crimp link (RCL2.5) joins two conductor ends together — it has an open barrel at both ends, one for each conductor. A crimp lug terminates a single conductor to a bolted connection point — it has one barrel end and one lug or ring end. Use a crimp link for conductor-to-conductor joints; use a crimp lug for conductor-to-terminal connections.

Q: What crimping tool and die is required for the RCL2.5?
A: The RCL2.5 requires a K26 crimping die with a standard compression crimp tool. Confirm your crimp tool is rated for 2.5mm² copper conductors before use.

Q: Is the RCL2.5 sold individually or in a bag?
A: The RCL2.5 is sold individually.
