  • Page 8: Pin Brazing

    PIN BRAZING CONSUMABLES (Brazing Pins, Ceramic Ferrules and Cable Lugs) The Easybond MKII Pin Brazing unit uses BAC fused pins to make the electrical connections. Each brazing pin is tipped with low temperature brazing alloy and the correct amount of flux, and has attached a copper fuse wire at the other end, which acts as a timed circuit breaker to control the duration of the braze.

    CABLE LUGS BAC cable lugs are specially manufactured in the intended material for pin brazing. The lugs are made in three different types. M1 is pin brazed to the cable. M2 is crimped to the cable and the “stinger” is pin brazed with the cable. The “stinger” permanently connects anode wires with a small diameter to pipes utilising the unique silver alloy BAC pin brazing method, without the use of cable lugs, crimping or old exothermic reactions.
