Overview

The ABB QCO02 Compression Stirrup Contax Filled is a precision-engineered electrical connector designed for secure, high-integrity wire terminations in power distribution systems. Manufactured by ABB - Installation Products (SKU: QCO02), this compression stirrup accommodates a wire range of 2-6 ASCR (Aluminum Conductor Steel Reinforced) and 2 Stranded to 6 Solid AWG wires, making it ideal for overhead conductors and power line applications. The stirrup is constructed from high-conductivity copper and features a square-shaped design for enhanced mechanical stability and electrical performance. Key to its reliability is the 'Contax Filled' specification, which includes a pre-applied contact-enhancing compound. This compound reduces electrical resistance at the connection point, mitigates corrosion risks in harsh environments, and ensures long-term conductivity even under oxidative or moisture-prone conditions. The QCO02 is supplied as a single stirrup, optimized for single-point compression splices where durability and low maintenance are critical. Engineered for compatibility with standard compression tools, the QCO02 requires a maximum tightening torque of 22 Nm to achieve a secure, gas-tight connection. Its design supports efficient installation in utility, industrial, and commercial power distribution systems, where aluminum and copper conductors are commonly used. The product is packaged individually, ensuring ease of handling and inventory management on job sites. Applications include overhead power lines, substations, and renewable energy installations where reliable conductor splicing is essential. The QCO02’s compatibility with ASCR and solid/stranded copper conductors makes it a versatile choice for utility contractors and electrical engineers seeking a dependable splice solution.
