Overview

The ABB Copper Two-Way Splice (SKU: 54510) is a high-reliability electrical connector engineered for splicing copper conductors in industrial, utility, and power distribution systems rated up to 35kV. This splice features a standard barrel design with tin plating to inhibit corrosion and maintain optimal conductivity over time. Designed for stranded copper conductors sized at 2/0 AWG, it provides a secure, low-resistance connection critical for high-voltage applications. The black barrel is color-coded with die code 45 for easy inventory management and die selection during crimping operations. Certified by UL and CSA for use up to 35kV and temperature-rated to 90°C when installed with compatible crimping tools and dies, this splice ensures compliance with stringent electrical safety standards. The internal wire stops prevent over-insertion of conductors, while the tin-plated copper construction delivers consistent electrical and mechanical performance. Ideal for power transmission, distribution networks, and industrial wiring systems where durable, high-integrity splices are required. Compatible with standard crimping tools and dies, including those from Panduit, Burndy, and T&B, as indicated by the die index markings on the barrel. This splice is part of ABB’s Installation Products line, trusted for reliability in demanding environments. The 2/0 AWG wire size accommodates a broad range of conductor applications, and the die color code simplifies tool setup for efficient installation. When crimped correctly, the splice meets NEBS Level 3 requirements and is suitable for applications exceeding 2000V, provided proper voltage stress relief instructions from the cable manufacturer are followed.
