Overview

The ABB Copper Two-Way Splice, SKU 54815, is engineered for reliable connections in high-voltage industrial and utility power distribution systems. This long barrel splice is constructed from tin-plated copper, offering superior corrosion resistance and long-term durability. It is UL Listed and CSA Certified for use up to 35kV and is temperature rated to 90°C when crimped with specified tools and dies. The splice accommodates stranded copper conductors up to 350 kcmil, with a specific wire strip length of 2.3125 inches. The internal wire stop prevents over-insertion of the conductor, and an inspection window aids in visually confirming full conductor insertion.
