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.

Who woulda thunk it - Look at this alum-to-copper twister wire connector

Google helped to find it
Hope this helps

I'm no metallurgist so forgive my ignorance. Most of
us have had the problem of interfacing copper to
aluminum. Is there some sort of alloy terminal block
that will accomplish that feat? Seems simple enough
to create an alloy that gradually transitions from
copper to aluminum but what do I know?
