Overview

The ABB WR139 Aluminum Wide Range H-Type Compression Connector (SKU: WR139) is a high-strength, high-conductivity aluminum alloy connector designed for reliable electrical connections in overhead and underground distribution systems. Engineered for compatibility with ACSR (1/0 to 4 AWG), stranded conductors (2/0 to 3 AWG), solid conductors (2/0 to 2 AWG), and tap conductors (8 to 10 AWG stranded or 6 to 10 AWG solid), this connector ensures secure mechanical and electrical connections with minimal risk of loosening or failure under load. The H-type design features a ribbed internal structure that maintains conductor shape while maximizing contact area, reducing hot spots and improving long-term performance. Installation is simplified with a single die (Die: O), compatible with standard compression tools, eliminating the need for specialized equipment. The connector’s fold-in tabs provide positive interlock during compression, ensuring consistent, repeatable results. Prefilled with oxide inhibitor, the WR139 maintains low resistance over time, even in harsh outdoor environments. Its aluminum construction offers excellent corrosion resistance and conductivity, making it suitable for both aluminum-to-aluminum and aluminum-to-copper conductor combinations. For optimal performance, use with ABB-recommended compression tools and follow industry installation standards.
  • Accommodates ACSR (1/0-4 AWG), stranded (2/0-3 AWG), solid (2/0-2 AWG), and tap conductors (8-10 AWG stranded or 6-10 AWG solid)
  • High-strength 1350 aluminum alloy for durability and conductivity
  • Single Die: O compression tooling for simplified installation
  • Ribbed design ensures excellent connector/conductor contact without conductor distortion
  • Prefilled with oxide inhibitor to maintain low resistance over time
