Overview

The ABB Copper Parallel Splice, SKU 540010, is a non-insulated, tin-plated copper connector designed for reliable splicing of solid or stranded copper conductors. This splice is engineered to repair or lengthen wires, accommodating a wire range from (6) #8 AWG to a maximum of (2) #4 AWG and (1) #6 AWG. Its circular mil range is specified between 83,700 and 119,500 kcmil. The seamless tubular barrel ensures a consistent, high-quality crimp, and the brazed seam protects the barrel from splitting during installation. An internal wire stop guarantees proper insertion depth into the terminal barrel. The tin plating provides excellent corrosion resistance, making it suitable for various industrial environments. This parallel splice requires only one crimp to complete the connection, simplifying the installation process. It is UL and CSA rated up to 600V per UL 486C. The maximum recommended operating temperature is 302°F (150°C). Key dimensions include a length of 0.75 inches (19.05mm), an outer diameter of 0.571 inches (14.5mm), and an inner diameter of 0.446 inches (11.33mm). The wire strip length required for proper termination is 5/16 inches (7.9mm). This connector is ideal for electrical contractors and maintenance professionals requiring durable and efficient wire splicing solutions.
