Aluminum Wedge Deadend

The aluminum wedge deadend is a mechanical conductor termination fitting designed for anchoring aluminum and ACSR conductors in overhead power line construction. It uses a self-energizing wedge principle to securely grip the conductor under tensile load, providing reliable dead-ending without the need for compression tools or conductor pre-forming. The assembly ensures consistent mechanical performance, fast installation, and long-term stability in distribution and transmission networks.

Key Features

• Manufactured from high-strength, corrosion-resistant aluminum alloy
