Overview

The ABB Copper Two-Way Splice Connector, SKU 54508, is engineered for reliable high-voltage splicing in industrial electrical systems. Constructed from durable copper and featuring a tin plating, this connector ensures excellent conductivity and resistance to corrosion. It is rated for a maximum of 35kV, making it suitable for demanding power distribution applications. The standard barrel design accommodates 1 AWG stranded copper conductors. The connector is identified by Die Code 37, indicated by a green color code, which aids in proper tool and die selection for crimping. This two-way splice connector is UL Listed and CSA Certified to 35kV and temperature rated to 90°C when crimped with specified tools and dies. Internal wire stops prevent over-insertion of conductors, ensuring a secure and efficient connection. The tin plating further inhibits corrosion, contributing to long-term reliability. When used with Panduit Uni-Die™ Dieless Crimping Tools, it offers wide wire range-taking capability. Tested by Telcordia to meet NEBS Level 3 and approved by the American Bureau of Shipping, this connector meets stringent industry standards. Its robust construction and precise specifications make it a trusted choice for electrical contractors and industrial professionals requiring secure and efficient splicing solutions for 1 AWG conductors in high-voltage environments.
