Overview

The ABB Type HPS Split-Bolt Connector with Spacer (SKU: 40HPS) is a tin-plated copper alloy connector designed for reliable mechanical and electrical connections in overhead distribution systems. This split-bolt connector accommodates equal main and tap conductor ranges for ACSR 4/0-4 AWG and 4/0 stranded to 4 stranded configurations, with a minimum tap of one maximum main 4 AWG stranded conductor. The integrated spacer ensures proper conductor alignment and maintains consistent compression across joints, reducing the risk of loose connections or arcing. Tin plating provides corrosion resistance in outdoor and industrial environments, extending service life in exposed installations. Common applications include utility pole terminations, transformer taps, and branch circuit connections where secure, maintenance-free joints are required. The connector’s design allows for tool-free installation with standard hex or socket wrenches, enabling faster deployment in field conditions. Compatible with standard ACSR conductors, this connector meets utility-grade performance requirements for mechanical strength and current-carrying capacity. For projects requiring UL-listed components, verify local compliance as this product is designed for industrial-grade installations.
