Overview

The ABB Type CA Aluminum Split-Bolt Connector (SKU: 6CA) is a reliable, UL-listed solution for splicing and tapping copper or aluminum conductors in the 4 AWG to 6 AWG range. Constructed from durable aluminum, this split-bolt connector features an integrated spacer and washer to ensure secure, low-resistance connections in branch circuits, service entrances, and distribution panels. The split-bolt design allows for tool-free installation with standard hex or socket drivers, reducing labor time while maintaining consistent torque application. Compatible with both solid and stranded conductors, the CA series connector eliminates the need for separate tap components, streamlining inventory and installation workflows. Typical applications include residential and commercial wiring, utility connections, and temporary power setups where quick, code-compliant splices are required. The connector’s aluminum construction provides corrosion resistance and thermal stability, while the zinc-plated steel bolt ensures long-term mechanical integrity. For equal main and tap conductor sizes within the 4-6 AWG range, the CA split-bolt delivers a compact, space-saving solution without sacrificing current-carrying capacity. Always verify local electrical codes and conductor compatibility before installation.
