Tyco grounding connector cuts installation time

Grounding connector
Tyco Electronics has introduced a grounding connector that shortens the installation time of a ground wire to a solar panel frame.
The threaded connector is inserted through a hole in the frame and uses two hex nuts to help provide a reliable connection.
The connector handles 6AWG and 8AWG (13.3mm2 and 8.4mm2) solid uninsulated copper wire.
In connecting to the frame, the connector body and the one-piece lock washer nut penetrate the surface of the aluminium frame, helping to create a reliable ground path.
In the six-second short-term current test, the connector handles 1,530A with a 6AWG ground wire.
With an 8AWG ground wire, a four-second test concludes that the connector handles 1,180A.
In UL 486A/B pull-out testing, the connector provides 100lb (45.3kg) with a 6AWG wire and 90lb (40.8kg) with an 8AWG wire.
