Overview

The ABB 2B40 Type 2B copper two-bolt connector is a high-strength, UL 486A-listed splicing solution for copper conductors in electrical distribution systems. Designed for permanent, low-resistance connections, this connector accommodates a main wire range of 1/0 to 4/0 AWG stranded copper and a tap wire range of 6 AWG to 4/0 AWG stranded copper. The 9/16" bolt size ensures proper torque application, delivering reliable mechanical and electrical performance even under vibration or thermal cycling. Constructed from high-strength copper alloy castings and bolts, the 2B40 features a removable cap for simplified installation and neoprene washers that capture bolts in the bottom casting for easy handling. The two-bolt design provides stable clamping force, reducing the risk of loosening over time. Its copper construction ensures high conductivity and corrosion resistance, critical for long-term performance. The absence of a spacer streamlines installation without compromising reliability. For applications requiring durable, low-maintenance connections, the 2B40 delivers consistent performance with minimal upkeep.
