Overview

The ABB Q 2 C 7 Copper Full Tension Compression Splice is a high-integrity termination solution for #2 stranded or solid copper conductors. Engineered for permanent, low-resistance connections in power distribution systems, this splice ensures mechanical and electrical reliability under load. The 4-3/8 inch length accommodates standard installation clearances while the full tension design maintains conductor integrity under axial stress. Compatible with TQ, TQ163, and 1/2-inch dies, the splice is optimized for field installation using standard compression tools. Ideal for utility, industrial, and commercial applications where consistent performance and long-term durability are critical. The splice’s copper construction matches conductor material, eliminating galvanic corrosion risks in copper systems. Installation requires no special training beyond basic compression tool operation, reducing labor time and cost.
