Overview

The ABB SP1DS Short Stud Double Service Post Connector (SKU: SP1DS) is a compact, high-integrity electrical connector designed for terminating two conductors on a single stud in industrial and commercial electrical systems. This connector accommodates 7 to 10 AWG stranded conductors or 6 to 10 AWG solid conductors, with a conductor diameter range of 0.164 to 0.102 inches (10 mm² to 6 mm²). The 1/4-20 x 1/2 stud size ensures compatibility with standard hardware, making it suitable for branch circuits, service panels, and distribution systems. Engineered for secure, low-resistance connections, the SP1DS connector simplifies wiring by eliminating the need for additional splicing or components. Its short stud design optimizes space in tight enclosures, including panelboards, switchgear, and junction boxes, while maintaining required clearance standards. The double service post configuration allows two conductors to terminate on a single stud, reducing installation complexity and material costs. The SP1DS is part of ABB’s Type SP-S Short Stud Service Post Connector series, which includes models for a wide range of conductor sizes and stud configurations. This series is designed for high-load applications where reliability and long-term performance are critical. The connector’s construction ensures stable electrical connections, minimizing the risk of loose terminations or overheating in demanding environments. Its compact footprint and compatibility with standard hardware make it a versatile solution for both new installations and retrofits.
