Standoff Insulators:
Manufacture:
Termate’s AU6 standoff insulator range provides excellent electrical insulation and mechanical strength for a variety of applications. Standoff insulators can also be referred to as post insulators, egg insulators, bobbin insulators, or busbar isolators.
This standoff insulator range is available in heights from 2⅜ inch to 4 inch and insert sizes of ⁵⁄₁₆″—18 to ⅝″—11 UNC. Technical data is found on the table above which displays heights, thread size and depth, maximum tightening torques, tensile and cantilever strengths, and box quantities available.
Please note that while we have referenced imperial (inch) dimensions, the height and width of the range is identical to the metric sizes. The .STEP files attached are the correct dimensions.
- Made from UL 94 V-0 rated, self-extinguishing material
- Halogen Free
- Operating temperature range of −40 °F to +266 °F
- Insulation voltage of up to 1000 V AC, 1500 V DC
- Equipment voltage of up to 1000 V AC, 1500 V DC
- UL Recognised Component; file number E505645
Our standoff insulators are made from a halogen-free glass-reinforced material, which was specifically chosen for its mechanical and electrical insulation properties.
Brass inserts are used due to this alloy’s resistance to corrosion. The injection moulding process, combined with our excellent quality control and inspection procedures, results in a consistent product across every production run.
Testing:
Termate carries out rigorous and appropriate testing on all our products. The AU6 range of standoff insulators successfully passed extensive testing to ensure their electrical and mechanical capabilities.
Termate has obtained UL Component Recognition for our insulators. Where applicable, they comply with both UL891 Annex G and UL508A Annex D for brace and support requirements for panelboard and switchboard accessories.
AU6 standoff insulators meet the requirements for UL 94 V-0. UL 94 being a standard for the safety of flammability of plastic materials for parts in devices and appliances released by the Underwriters Laboratories.
Our Standoff insulator range is a UL Recognised Component and are listed under the product category “Panelboard and Switchboard Accessories – Component”, more information can be found at UL Product IQ.
