Overview

The ABB RCJ266 is a 7-inch partial-tension distribution compression splice engineered for reliable electrical connections in overhead power distribution systems. Constructed from durable aluminum, this splice is specifically designed to accommodate wire ranges of 266.8 ASCR (18/1). Its robust construction ensures secure and long-lasting performance under typical distribution load conditions. This splice utilizes hydraulic crimping for installation, requiring specific die sets for proper application. The catalog indicates compatibility with hydraulic dies B80EA, 655, and 11/8-1. The partial-tension design is suitable for applications where the splice is not subjected to the full mechanical tension of the conductor, making it an efficient choice for certain distribution configurations. Key specifications include: * **Manufacturer:** ABB - Installation Products * **SKU:** RCJ266 * **Material:** Aluminum * **Size:** 7 inch * **Series:** RCJ * **Wire Range:** 266.8 ASCR (18/1) * **Required Hydraulic Dies:** B80EA, 655, 11/8-1 The RCJ266 splice is a critical component for maintaining the integrity of electrical distribution networks. Its aluminum construction offers excellent conductivity and corrosion resistance, essential for outdoor power infrastructure. The 7-inch length provides ample surface area for secure crimping, ensuring a low-resistance connection that minimizes power loss and heat buildup. Proper installation with the specified hydraulic dies is paramount to achieving the intended mechanical strength and electrical performance for this partial-tension splice.
