Overview

ABB 16101-HM Aluminum Full-Tension Compression Splice is a precision-engineered solution for joining 4/0 American Wire Gauge (AAC), Aluminum-Alloy Conductors (AAAC), and 4/0 6/1 ACSR conductors. This splice ensures full-tension mechanical and electrical continuity, maintaining rated conductor strength and current-carrying capacity. The splice measures 17-7/8 inches in length with a diameter of 1-5/64 inches, providing a secure fit for standard 4/0 conductor applications. Designed for durability, the splice includes a center stop to prevent over-compression and orange caps for visual identification during installation. The oxide inhibitor prevents corrosion at the conductor-splice interface, extending service life in outdoor and industrial environments. Installation requires ABB dies 87 and 654, ensuring compatibility with standard compression tools. This splice is ideal for overhead transmission and distribution lines, substation connections, and utility infrastructure where reliable, long-term conductor splicing is critical. The aluminum construction matches conductor material, minimizing galvanic corrosion risks. The full-tension design meets utility-grade requirements for mechanical strength and electrical performance.
