How to Install the PA11 Pin Adapter for Aluminum Conductors

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for safely installing a PA11 Pin Adapter to reliably terminate 1/0 AWG stranded aluminum conductors into mechanical connectors designed for Al-Cu use.

Estimated time: 30m

Tools needed:

Wire strippers, Wire brush, Compression tool, Compression dies (specific to PA11, e.g., T&B 76/76H Red or Burndy 324 Red), Torque wrench or screwdriver/wrench

Supplies needed:

PA11 Pin Adapter, 1/0 AWG stranded aluminum conductor, Mated insulating cover, Mechanical connector (listed for Al-Cu use)

  1. Disconnect Power and Select Adapter

    WARNING: Disconnect all power before beginning installation to prevent risk of electric shock. Select the PA11 Pin Adapter, which is marked for 1/0 AWG aluminum wire size. Ensure the equipment connector is listed for Al-Cu use.

  2. Verify Compatibility and Clearances

    Check the copper pig-tail length against the equipment connector to ensure sufficient contact with the pressure plate or set screw. With the mated insulating cover in place, check its diameter to assure no interference. Verify that the use of the Pin Adapter will not reduce the minimum wire bending space required by the National Electrical Code. Bend the aluminum cable to fit in the equipment before installing the Pin Adapter.

  3. Prepare Aluminum Conductor

    Strip the insulation from the 1/0 AWG aluminum conductor to a length of 1.250 inches (as per column 'A' for PA11). Be careful not to nick or ring the conductor strands. Thoroughly scratch brush the stripped aluminum conductor to remove any oxide film before installation.

  4. Crimp the Pin Adapter

    Insert the stripped aluminum conductor all the way into the compression barrel of the PA11 Pin Adapter. Select the appropriate compression tool and dies (e.g., T&B die code 76 or Burndy die index 324). Make the required number of crimps (2 for PA11) adjacent to each other between the knurl or ink marks. Remove any flash and excess inhibitor after crimping.

  5. Install Insulating Cover and Connect to Equipment

    After installing the Pin Adapter on the conductor, slip the provided insulating cover completely over the compression barrel. This ensures minimum electrical spacing. Insert the copper pig-tail fully into the mechanical equipment connector body and tighten the set screw to the equipment manufacturer’s recommended torque. If no specific torque is provided, tighten to 50-150 inch-lbs as recommended for PA11.
