Technical Information
Termination methods
• Screw connection
Screw clamps are designed acc. to EN
60999-1 / VDE 609-1.
Chart 1 below shows the screw size depending
on wire size and the required clamping and testing
torque..

Diagram 1 below shows the range of tensile strength for a screw
connection with a clamp screw M3, fastened with a torque of 50 Ncm,
depending on the wire size.

It has to be noted that wires of the same AWG number but with different
composition have slightly different mm
