Overview

The ABB PA06 Aluminum Pin Adapter Terminal, SKU PA06, is a specialized connector designed for electrical installations. This terminal is constructed from aluminum, a material chosen for its conductivity and corrosion resistance in many applications. It is specifically engineered to accommodate wire sizes up to 6 AWG stranded conductor. The surface of the PA06 terminal is tin-plated. This plating enhances electrical contact reliability and provides an additional layer of protection against environmental degradation, particularly oxidation. The tin plating ensures a stable, low-resistance connection over time, which is critical for maintaining system integrity and preventing power loss. This adapter terminal is part of ABB's Installation Products catalog, known for providing reliable components for electrical infrastructure. The specific design as a 'Pin Adapter Terminal' suggests its role in connecting pin-type connectors or facilitating a specific termination method within a larger electrical assembly. The absence of a die color code indicates that its application is not tied to a specific crimping tool die set, offering flexibility in its use with compatible tooling.

How to Install the PA06 Pin Adapter

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for safely installing the PA06 Pin Adapter, designed to reliably terminate #6 AWG stranded aluminum conductors with a #8 AWG copper pig-tail into mechanical connectors.

Estimated time: 45m

Tools needed:

Wire strippers, Wire brush, Compression tool (crimper), T&B 50 or Burndy BG/243 (ORANGE color code) compression dies, Torque wrench or screwdriver

Supplies needed:

PA06 Pin Adapter, #6 AWG stranded aluminum conductor, Mated insulating cover (supplied with adapter)

  1. Disconnect Power and Select Adapter

    WARNING: Disconnect all power to the electrical equipment before beginning installation to prevent risk of shock. Select the PA06 Pin Adapter, which is specifically designed for #6 AWG stranded aluminum wire and features a #8 AWG copper pig-tail.

  2. Prepare Aluminum Conductor and Perform Pre-Installation Checks

    Strip 1 inch of insulation from the #6 AWG stranded aluminum conductor, ensuring not to nick or ring the strands. Thoroughly scratch brush the stripped aluminum conductor to remove any oxide film. Before crimping, verify the copper pig-tail length against the equipment connector, check the mated insulating cover diameter for interference, and confirm the wiring room provides the minimum wire bending space required by codes like NEC Table 312.6(A). Bend the aluminum cable to fit the equipment as needed before attaching the adapter.

  3. Crimp the Pin Adapter onto the Aluminum Conductor

    Insert the prepared aluminum conductor fully into the compression barrel of the PA06 Pin Adapter. Using a compression tool with the appropriate ORANGE color-coded die (T&B 50 or Burndy BG/243), make the required number of crimps. Ensure crimps are made between the knurl or ink marks, overlapping if necessary, and compress from the base of the socket toward the cable. Remove any flash or excess inhibitor.

  4. Install Insulating Cover and Connect Copper Pig-Tail

    After crimping, slip the mated insulating cover completely over the compression barrel of the Pin Adapter to ensure minimum electrical spacing. Fully insert the copper pig-tail into the mechanical equipment connector. Tighten the connector's set screw to the equipment manufacturer's recommended torque. If no specific torque is provided, tighten to 35 inch-lbs with a screwdriver or 100 inch-lbs with a wrench.
