Overview

The ABB KL68-1 Service Entrance Compression Splice, SKU KL68-1, is engineered for reliable electrical connections in service entrance applications. This 3-1/2 inch splice facilitates the joining of aluminum conductors, accommodating both aluminum-to-aluminum and aluminum-to-copper configurations. End A is designed for 4/0 AWG ASCR (Aluminum Conductor Steel Reinforced) and 4/0 AWG stranded conductors. End B supports 3/0 AWG ASCR and 3/0 AWG stranded conductors, with an additional capacity for 4/0 AWG stranded compact conductors. The black color coding aids in identification. This splice requires die 840 for proper installation, ensuring a secure and permanent connection. The UNSPSC code for this product is 39121449. ABB's Installation Products division provides this essential component for utility and industrial power distribution networks, where conductor integrity is paramount. Its specific wire range compatibility ensures precise application in service entrance wiring scenarios. The compression design offers a mechanically sound termination, critical for minimizing resistance and preventing service interruptions. The material composition is aluminum, suitable for direct contact with aluminum conductors and compatible with copper conductors when used as specified.
