Default Aluminum to Copper interface

Howdy,


I've been using electric fence crimp terminals from Dare.
They're sold in numerous farm and hardware stores. There's
a crimper marketed by Dare for them as well at a very reasonable
price.

They're actually Nicopress terminals. Look like lead plated
copper to me. I've joined wire of various materials with
these including, aluminum to galvanized steel, aluminum to copper
and copper to galvanized steel. They do a fantastic job.

Thanks, Hal. I figured they had to exist.
