Overview

The ABB Installation Products PAA339 is a one-bolt aluminum parallel groove clamp engineered for secure, long-lasting electrical connections in overhead and underground power distribution systems. This clamp is specifically designed to accommodate a wide range of conductor sizes, supporting main conductors from 1/0 to 6 AWG stranded aluminum/copper (AL/CU) and tap conductors from 1/0 to 6 AWG solid aluminum/copper. The PAA339 is dual-rated for use with aluminum, ACSR (Aluminum Conductor Steel Reinforced), and copper conductors, making it a versatile solution for utility and industrial applications. Constructed from high-strength, heat-treated cast aluminum alloy, the PAA339 offers exceptional corrosion resistance and conductivity. Its pressure-cast aluminum body effectively seals out moisture, reducing the risk of galvanic corrosion between dissimilar metals. The clamp’s design separates conductors to minimize contact resistance, ensuring a stable and reliable electrical connection over time. The included galvanized steel carriage bolt, nut, and lockwasher provide secure clamping force, while the single-bolt installation simplifies assembly and maintenance. The PAA339 is ideal for splicing and terminating conductors in power distribution networks, substations, and industrial facilities. Its compact dimensions (9/16" bolt size, 1 9/16" height, 1 1/4" width, 1 1/2" length) make it suitable for tight spaces, and its robust construction ensures durability in harsh environmental conditions. For enhanced protection against oxidation in copper-to-aluminum connections, the PAA339 is available prefilled with oxide inhibitor. This product is part of ABB’s Blackburn series, a trusted name in electrical connectors and grounding solutions.
