Overview

The ABB AC2-TB is a single sleeve, full-tension compression splice engineered for reliable joining of aluminum conductors. Constructed from high-grade aluminum, this splice ensures robust electrical connections in demanding applications. Its 4-1/8 inch length provides ample surface area for secure crimping, and the full-tension design guarantees mechanical integrity under load. This splice is specifically designed for aluminum conductors, offering optimal conductivity and compatibility. The AC2-TB requires specific tooling for installation, utilizing mechanical dies such as BY23, W-163, or 1/2, and hydraulic dies including B17EA, 163, 1/2, or 510. Referencing the manufacturer's specifications for die compatibility is crucial for proper application. This component, part of ABB's Installation Products catalog, is identified by SKU AC2-TB and UNSPSC code 39121449. Its application is critical in power distribution, transmission, and industrial electrical systems where secure and durable conductor connections are paramount. The AC2-TB series splice is a direct solution for extending or repairing aluminum conductor lines, ensuring continuity and minimizing electrical resistance. The 4-1/8 inch sleeve accommodates a wire range of 2(7), making it suitable for a variety of aluminum conductor sizes. The full-tension compression design ensures that the splice maintains mechanical strength even under high tensile loads, reducing the risk of failure in critical infrastructure. The use of aluminum construction provides corrosion resistance and maintains electrical conductivity over time, which is essential for long-term reliability in outdoor and industrial environments. Proper installation with the specified mechanical or hydraulic dies ensures a secure connection that meets industry standards for electrical and mechanical performance. The AC2-TB is a trusted choice for professionals requiring a durable and efficient splice for aluminum conductors in high-stakes applications.
