3M 1328 Elect Cond Alnox 100 Gm

Product Details

3M™ 1328 Electrical Conductive Compound provides efficient and trouble-free service on aluminium-to-aluminium and aluminium-to-copper connections. It can be used for indoor as well as outdoor connections. Application: Pad to pad electrical connections where the operating temperature is at or below 250° C. Can be used for aluminium-to- aluminium, copper-to- aluminium and copper-to-copper.Features Lowest Electrical Resistance 3M 1328 compound Contains extremely hard metallic particles with sharp and irregular shapes of carefully controlled grain size. This forms many metal to metal contact points for low resistance connections. Weather Resistant 3M 1328 compound adheres to pad surfaces, protecting the connection against the harmful effects of the environment. Wide Temperature Tolerance 3M 1328 compound has a wide temperature tolerance. It is workable at low temperatures, -18 °C (0 °F), and does not drip at high temperatures. It has a melting point above 288 °C (550 °F) The 3M™ 1328 Electrical Conductive Compound (Alnox) is a black, grease-like paste containing hard, metallic particles used to provide low-resistance, corrosion-protected connections for aluminum-to-aluminum and aluminum-to-copper electrical joints. The 100 GM refers to its packaging size of 100 grams. Key Features and SpecificationsThis compound's features contribute to reliable electrical connections:  It provides the lowest electrical resistance due to hard metallic particles that create multiple contact points. It is weather resistant, forming a protective seal against moisture and corrosion. It has a wide temperature tolerance, remaining workable down to -18°C (0°F) and not dripping below 288°C (550°F). When stored dry, it has an infinite shelf life. It is packaged in a 100 gram bottle or tube. Its physical state is a black grease/paste.  ApplicationsThe 3M™ 1328 Electrical Conductive Compound is suitable for ensuring efficient performance in various electrical connections:  It is primarily used for pad-to-pad electrical connections, especially at operating temperatures up to 250°C (482°F). It works with aluminum-on-aluminum, copper-on-aluminum, and copper-on-copper connections. It can be used for both indoor and outdoor electrical connections. Examples of use include dead ends to terminals and terminals to tee taps.  Directions for UseAccording to 3M, proper application includes:  Cleaning contact surfaces. Abrading the surfaces. Immediately coating the surfaces with the compound. Assembling thein without removing the compound. The core performance of the 3M™ 1328 compound is based on several distinct features: Lowest Electrical Resistance: The compound contains extremely hard metallic particles, which are of a carefully controlled grain size and have sharp, irregular shapes. When the joint is assembled and compressed, these particles penetrate the oxide layers on the metal surfaces, forming multiple, stable, metal-to-metal contact points, which significantly lowers the electrical resistance of the connection. Weather Resistance: The grease-like nature of the compound allows it to adhere well to the contact pad surfaces, effectively sealing the connection against moisture, air, and other environmental contaminants that could lead to corrosion. This protective seal is vital for long-term joint integrity, especially outdoor or harsh environments. Wide Temperature Tolerance: The 3M™ 1328 compound maintains its performance across a broad temperature range.
