Overview
A service post connector gives a solid, threaded post to which one or more service conductors are clamped. It is used where a cable has to be terminated securely and re-tightened during maintenance, such as at meter boards, service poles and distribution boxes.
Empire Alloys manufactures service post connectors in brass and in bronze. Brass versions suit most indoor and protected applications; bronze is specified where higher strength and resistance to coastal or industrial atmospheres are needed. Both are cast or forged from the company’s own copper-alloy melt and finished on CNC and special-purpose machines.
Indian service conditions include heat, monsoon moisture, coastal salt air and industrial pollutants, so plating and material choice are discussed with each buyer.

Single-wire connectors
One conductor per post.
Multi-wire connectors
Several conductors terminated on one post.
Insulated connectors
Connectors supplied with insulation for exposed locations.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between brass and bronze service post connectors?
Brass is economical and machines easily; bronze offers higher strength and better resistance in harsh atmospheres. Both conduct well; we help choose by site condition.
Can you make service post connectors to a utility drawing?
Yes. Send the drawing and quantity, and the team will confirm tooling and lead time.
Are insulated versions available?
Insulated connectors are part of the range; specify the insulation requirement in your enquiry.
