 In the1950’s Metropolitan Vickers asked G Corner & Co to design a range of special cable terminals for use with DC motors in traction applications.In the 1960’s it was this range of terminals that was formally adopted by British Rail as the recommended terminals for all cables over 0.01 in² (6mm²). In 1963 the Associated Electrical Industries Ltd., Traction Division, based at Trafford Park, Manchester, set up a technical committee to investigate all available terminals and to recommend a type for use on all traction contracts.For cable sizes over 0.01 in² (6 mm²) to 0.6 in² (400 mm²) the committee recommended the use of G Corner terminals, which were found to be superior for mechanical strength, electrical performance and to be the most economical. TRANECT Ltd are proud to still manufacture these products with the same qualities of performance and economy as in 1963. Our high vibration terminals are used in cable assemblies and bogie earthing leads on many trains on Britain's rail network. In the 1970’s we were asked to design a range of Ultra High Vibration withstand cable terminals for bogie to axle and bogie to carriage applications. These have established a reputation for the ultimate performance in these especially arduous applications. In 1985 the British Railways Board adopted G Corner Terminals into Workshop Overhaul Standard Specification 560/4. A comprehensive cross reference list of our terminals with British Railways catalogue numbers is available here. Since 1963 our design of terminals have proved reliable, robust and safe for traction applications. When you buy one of our products you acquire our track record of performance and reliability. We continue to manufacture and supply these terminals from our factory in Liverpool. Our product range has continued to expand to include cable assemblies, wiring harnesses, copper braid products , connectors, terminals, crimps, busbars and associated tooling for high vibration environments including railway applications, standby power generators and military applications. In 2001 the rights to manufacture the Corner Terminals range was acquired by Tranect Ltd of Liverpool. Tranect continue to manufacture these products to the same specifications as the original designs. We have built a solid reputation within the rail industry, and now supply complete cable assemblies, wiring harnesses and copper braid assemblies to all sectors of the industry. We also have the capability to design new terminals, connectors and other products to suit customer requirements and have recently been awarded a Research and Development grant from the North West Development Agency to continue our development of electrical connections for high vibration environments. Our project has also received funding from the Merseyside Special Investment Fund as part of their support for businesses in the region. |
