Alan Capon:
In the Electricity Supply Industry, we would not crimp aluminium in a copper connector, or the other way around. We would either use a “bi metallic” connector which has one half aluminium and one half copper, or use a brass connector.
Which rather begs the question, how are the two halves of the crimp connected? (I am aware that it is possible to weld dissimilar metals, or just solder them.)
