Overview

The ABB 2RA18XCP Expanded Vinyl-Insulated Butt Splice (SKU: 2RA18XCP) is engineered for reliable wire splicing in industrial and commercial electrical installations. This butt splice is designed to join two solid or stranded wires, facilitating repairs or extensions. It features a brazed seam that prevents the terminal barrel from splitting during the crimping process, ensuring a secure connection. An internal wire stop is incorporated to guarantee the correct insertion length of wires into the terminal barrel. The vinyl insulation meets UL 94V-0 flammability standards and has a maximum insulation temperature rating of 221°F (105°C). This connector is UL and CSA rated for up to 600V per UL 486C. Constructed from tin-plated copper, it offers excellent conductivity and corrosion resistance. The expanded wire entry is designed to accommodate wires with larger insulation thicknesses. The overall dimensions are 1.13 inches in length and 0.25 inches in width, with a maximum insulation diameter of 0.170 inches. It is suitable for wire ranges of #22 to #18 AWG. The color code is red. This product is supplied in a convenient mini-pack, making it an efficient solution for contractors and electricians. ABB Installation Products provides dependable electrical components that adhere to stringent industry standards. Recommended installation tools include CT-100, CT-1550, CT-1551, CT-2300/ST, CT-2500/L, and UP14ZLW. The standard package quantity is 50, with 500 in a standard carton.
