Stainless Steel G Clamps Description
CVSIC G-type clamp (also called stainless steel G-clip or connection clip) is a specialized accessory for silicon carbide (SiC) heating elements, made from top-quality heat-resistant spring steel paired with aluminum braids, offering rust-free durability, corrosion and oxidation resistance, and easy setup. It securely fastens aluminum braids to the cold end of SiC heating elements, ensuring stable electrical connections. This is particularly beneficial for high-temperature furnaces, semiconductors, lithium batteries, ceramics, and powder metallurgy applications. The G-type design enhances fixing performance, working in conjunction with H-type and C-type clamps to provide a robust industrial heating connection solution.
Ordering Information
When ordering G-type clamps, please provide the following parameters:
- SiC Element Diameter: 8-65mm
- Example: G-type clamp for 18mm SiC element, denoted as: G-Type/18mm
- Note: Custom specs are available to ensure a perfect fit with SiC elements.
Stainless Steel G Clamps Connection Method
- Installation Position: The G-type clamp secures the aluminum braid to the outermost cold end of the SiC heating element, ensuring a tight fit.
- Connection Method:
- Place the aluminum braid on the aluminum coating of the SiC cold end.
- Secure the aluminum braid around the cold end with the G-type clamp using screws.
- Verify the clamp’s diameter marking matches the SiC element.
- Ensure connection end voltage is <0.01V for solid electrical contact.
Note: Avoid over-compression during installation to prevent damage to the SiC element; re-tighten screws after 2-3 hours of operation to address thermal relaxation.

Stainless Steel G Clamps Installation Method
To ensure the performance and safety of G-type clamps, follow these steps:
- Inspect Components: Confirm the clamp is undamaged and verify diameter markings match the SiC element.
- Secure Aluminum Braid: Place the aluminum braid on the SiC cold end’s aluminum coating, using the G-type clamp to secure it with screws.
- Check Stability: Ensure the clamp is neither loose nor over-compressed to prevent damage to the SiC element.
- Power Connection: Connect the power source via the aluminum braid, ensuring solid contact.
- Maintenance Check: After 2-3 hours of furnace operation, re-check clamp and screw tightness to prevent thermal relaxation.
Note: Professionals should perform the installation. Download our installation manual for step-by-step guidance.
Stainless Steel G Clamps Design Recommendations
- Diameter Matching: Choose a G-type clamp matching the SiC element’s cold end diameter (8-65mm), verifying marked numbers.
- Installation Force: Avoid over-compression to keep the clamp secure without damaging the SiC element.
- Temperature Control: Utilize an SCR voltage regulator (for precise current control) to prolong the lifespan of the clamp and element.
- Regular Maintenance: Check clamp and screw tightness during initial operation to prevent loosening or corrosion affecting performance.
- Compatibility with H/C-Type Clamps: G-type clamps can be paired with H-type or C-type clamps, depending on space and needs, to optimize connection layout.
