Overview

ABB WR269 is an aluminum wide-range H-type compression connector designed for reliable electrical connections in overhead distribution systems. This connector accommodates a 2/0 AWG ACSR main conductor and supports tap connections ranging from 2/0 to 1/0 AWG ACSR or stranded conductors. The WR269 uses die sizes D and D3 for compression, ensuring compatibility with standard tooling. The H-type design provides a secure mechanical and electrical joint, reducing installation time compared to traditional bolted or twisted connections. Typical applications include utility pole installations, transformer taps, and branch circuit connections where aluminum conductors are specified. The connector’s wide range capability minimizes inventory requirements by allowing a single part number to cover multiple conductor sizes. Installation requires a compression tool rated for the specified die sizes, and the connector is designed for use in outdoor environments with exposure to weather and UV radiation. The aluminum construction provides corrosion resistance and long-term reliability in typical utility applications. This product is part of ABB’s Installation Products line, known for durable electrical connectors used in utility and industrial installations.
