Overview

The ABB IKL54 4-inch Aluminum Service Entrance Compression Splice is a high-integrity, compression-type connector designed for secure, long-term wire splicing in service entrance applications. Constructed from durable aluminum, this splice accommodates a wire range from 3/0 AWG ASCR, 3/0 AWG STR, 4/0 AWG CPT, and 3/0 AWG CPR at the black end to #4 AWG ASCR, #3-#4 AWG STR, and #2 AWG SOL at the orange end. The dual-color design (black/orange) simplifies identification during installation and inspection, reducing the risk of mismatched connections. The splice includes a 5-7/16-inch sleeve for enhanced mechanical strength and electrical continuity, meeting stringent service entrance requirements. Installation requires ABB TX 249 840 (EEI 11A) dies for proper compression, ensuring compliance with NEC and utility standards. Ideal for residential, commercial, and light industrial service entrance wiring where reliable, code-compliant splices are critical. The compression design eliminates the need for solder or tape, providing a permanent, vibration-resistant joint that maintains low resistance over time. Compatible with standard aluminum conductors, this splice is a cost-effective solution for permanent wire connections in harsh environments.
