Overview

The ABB Copper Two-Way Splice (SKU: 54808) is a tin-plated copper electrical connector engineered for secure, high-voltage splicing of stranded copper conductors in industrial, utility, and commercial applications. This splice supports copper wire sizes up to 1 AWG with a maximum voltage rating of 35kV and is temperature-rated to 90°C when crimped with ABB’s specified tools. The long barrel design provides enhanced wire pull-out strength and accommodates multiple crimps for long-term reliability. The green die code (37) ensures compatibility with ABB’s crimping tools, including the 7-ton and 127-series indenters, and the tin plating inhibits corrosion for extended service life. UL Listed and CSA Certified, this splice meets Telcordia NEBS Level 3 requirements, making it ideal for telecommunications, power distribution, and renewable energy systems where durability and electrical integrity are critical. The 2.0-inch length and 0.49-inch diameter provide ample space for secure conductor insertion, while the two-way design simplifies parallel connections. For optimal performance, use with ABB’s die code 37 crimping tools to achieve consistent, code-compliant installations.
