Overview

The ABB ICS65-1 Service Entrance Compression Splice is a high-integrity aluminum connector engineered for secure, long-lasting joints between aluminum-to-aluminum (AL-to-AL) and aluminum-to-copper (AL-to-CU) conductors. Designed for service entrance applications, this splice accommodates a wide wire range at End A (4 ASCR, 3-4 stranded, 2 solid, orange) and End B (10 stranded, 8 solid, brown), supporting both stranded and solid conductors. The 2-25/32 inch size with a 5/8 inch die ensures compatibility with standard compression tooling, delivering a mechanically sound and electrically stable connection. Ideal for residential and commercial electrical installations where code-compliant, reliable splices are required. The aluminum construction resists corrosion and provides long-term performance in outdoor and indoor environments. Compression splicing eliminates the need for solder or mechanical clamps, reducing installation time and improving reliability. This splice is specifically rated for service entrance applications, meeting NEC and UL requirements for safe, durable connections in electrical systems. The 5/8 inch die size is a standard configuration for compression tools, ensuring compatibility with common industry equipment. The orange and brown color-coding on the ends helps identify conductor types and sizes during installation, reducing the risk of mismatched connections. The splice’s design allows for efficient compression, creating a gas-tight seal that maintains conductivity over time. With a compact 2-25/32 inch length, it fits within tight junction boxes and enclosures, making it suitable for confined spaces. The aluminum material provides a consistent thermal expansion rate with aluminum conductors, minimizing stress and potential failure points. This product is part of ABB’s Installation Products line, which is engineered for durability and compliance with industry standards, ensuring reliable performance in demanding electrical applications.
