Overview

The ABB Copper Parallel Splice, SKU 540004, is a non-insulated, tin-plated copper connector engineered for the reliable splicing of two copper conductors. This splice is constructed with a seamless tubular barrel, a design element that guarantees a consistent and high-performance crimp. Its parallel configuration simplifies the installation process, requiring only a single crimp to achieve a secure splice, thereby enhancing overall installation efficiency. The tin plating applied to this connector offers superior corrosion resistance, making it a suitable choice for a wide array of industrial applications where durability and protection against environmental factors are critical. To ensure accurate conductor placement and a proper connection, the splice incorporates an internal wire stop. This feature guides the conductors to the correct insertion length within the terminal barrel, preventing over-insertion and promoting a reliable electrical connection. This connector is certified for use in electrical systems with a voltage rating of up to 2000 V, as specified by UL 486C. Furthermore, it is designed to operate safely at a maximum recommended temperature of 302°F (150°C). The wire accommodation capabilities of the ABB Copper Parallel Splice are precisely defined. It can accept a combination of conductors, ranging from a minimum configuration of two #8 AWG conductors and one #14 AWG conductor, up to a maximum configuration of two #6 AWG conductors. The circular mil range supported by this splice spans from 33,100 to 52,600. The physical dimensions of the splice are also detailed: it measures 0.531 inches (13.49mm) in length, has an outer diameter of 0.41 inches (10.41mm), and an inner diameter of 0.302 inches (7.67mm). This product has achieved both UL and CSA ratings, underscoring its compliance with stringent safety and performance standards. The UNSPSC code associated with this product is 39121449.
