Springs shall be of a phosphor-bronze, a stainless steel alloy conforming to the requirements for Alloy No. 30302 given in SAE J
29、405d, or of other acceptable material. NOTE Acceptable methods for the corrosion protection of metals include galvanizing, zinc impregnation, and plating with nickel, cadmium or zinc. Treatment with oil or grease is deemed to provide adequate protection for small parts. 3.2 Screws and nuts (screw te
30、rminals) 3.2.1 Screws and nuts used in terminals for the clamping of one or more conductors shall a) be of a metal that is neither soft nor liable to creep, such as zinc or aluminium; b) not serve to fix any other component, except that they may be used to retain the terminal in place or prevent it
31、from turning; c) be captive and not, when fully released, project above the mouldings of the terminal block for spring-loaded terminals; d) when designed to clamp directly onto the conductor(s) (see 3.3(e), have a diameter that is at least 0,75 times the diameter of the conductor hole, and be finish
32、ed off smoothly to minimize damage to the conductor(s); and e) when clamped to the conductor(s), have at least two full threads engaged. SANS 1433-1:2008 Edition 1.1 6 3.2.2 Only ISO metric threads shall be used and the fit of threads shall be such that slipping over of threads, undue movement and t
