Overview

The ABB Copper Parallel Splice, SKU 540250, is engineered for reliable electrical connections in industrial settings. This tin-plated copper splice is designed to join multiple copper conductors, offering excellent conductivity and corrosion resistance. It accommodates a wire range from (1) #3/0 and (4) #8 wires, up to (1) #3/0 and (8) #8 wires, with a circular mil range of 231,100 to 300,000. The seamless tubular barrel ensures a consistent, high-performance crimp, while the internal wire stop guarantees proper insertion depth. This non-insulated splice is rated up to 2000V per UL 486C and has a maximum recommended operating temperature of 302°F (150°C). Its robust construction from high-strength copper alloy resists corrosion and provides premium electrical and mechanical performance. The expanded wire entry is designed to accommodate wires with larger insulation thicknesses, and the brazed seam protects the terminal barrel from splitting during the crimping process. This parallel splice requires only one crimp to complete the connection, making it an efficient solution for repairing or lengthening wires. Trust ABB Installation Products for dependable electrical solutions that meet stringent industry standards.
