Overview

The ABB 61910A Bi-Metal Pin Connector, part of ABB's Installation Products line, offers a reliable and durable solution for terminating aluminum and copper conductors in industrial electrical systems. This connector is engineered for a voltage rating of 600V and features a bi-metal construction, combining aluminum and copper for optimal conductivity and corrosion resistance. The pin is constructed from stranded copper and is tin-plated to ensure a low-resistance electrical connection. The connector body is coated with an oxide inhibitor to maintain connection integrity over time. It is designed to accommodate aluminum cable sizes ranging from 6 AWG up to 350 MCM, and copper pigtail wire sizes from 8 AWG. The tin-plated finish on the copper pin further enhances its performance and longevity. The insulating cover, made from UL 94V-0 flammability rated material, provides essential electrical insulation and strain relief, protecting against bending stresses and ensuring user safety. This cover also eliminates the need for additional taping. The connector is identified by a blue die color code and corresponds to Die Code 24 for easy identification and inventory management. It meets UL 486A/B listing requirements for wire connectors and has a maximum insulation temperature rating of 90°C (AL9). The solid pin design is specifically suited for reliable electrical connections in pin-type terminal blocks. The brazed seam construction prevents the terminal barrel from splitting during crimping, and internal barrel serrations ensure consistent wire contact and tensile strength. The ABB 61910A is an essential component for secure and efficient electrical terminations in a variety of industrial applications where aluminum and copper conductors need to be joined reliably.

How to Install the Bi-Pin Connector for Aluminum to Copper Cable Transitions

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing a Bi-Pin connector to transition from aluminum to copper cable, ensuring a secure and compliant electrical connection.

Estimated time: 45m

Tools needed:

Screwdriver, Wire strippers, Multimeter

Supplies needed:

Bi-Pin connectors, Insulators, Mounting screws, Terminal connectors

  1. Prepare the aluminum cable

    Strip the aluminum cable to the length specified in the tool die selection table. Clean the cable using a wire brush or emery cloth to ensure a good connection.

  2. Insert cable into the Bi-Pin connector

    Insert the stripped aluminum cable fully into the Bi-Pin connector barrel. Ensure that the connector is marked for the correct aluminum wire size.

  3. Crimp the connector

    Using the appropriate color-coded installing dies, crimp the connector according to the specifications in the tool die selection table. Confirm that the die number embossed on the connector matches the number on the crimp dies.

  4. Attach the copper pigtail

    Slip the insulator over the copper wire end and pull it over the connector body. Insert the copper pigtail fully into the mechanical connector body and tighten the set screw to the manufacturer's recommended torque.

  5. Verify the installation

    Check that the installation complies with the National Electrical Code (NEC) requirements for spacing and torque. Ensure that all connections are secure and that there are no exposed wires.
