Overview

The ABB WR369 Aluminum Wide Range H-Type Compression Connector (SKU: WR369) is a heavy-duty electrical connector designed for secure, permanent joints in overhead distribution and transmission systems. Constructed from high-strength aluminum, this connector meets the demands of utility and industrial applications where reliable conductivity and mechanical integrity are critical. The WR369 supports main conductor sizes from 4/0 to 3/0 ACSR (Aluminum Conductor Steel Reinforced) and tap conductor sizes from 1-3 ACSR, 1/0-2 Stranded, and 1 Sol. The connector is rated for use with die D and D3, ensuring compatibility with standard compression tooling. With a compact 1-7/8 inch length, the WR369 is optimized for tight clearance installations while maintaining full current-carrying capacity. This connector is ideal for splicing main lines to smaller taps in overhead power distribution networks, substations, and industrial power systems. Its aluminum construction resists corrosion and provides long-term performance in outdoor and high-vibration environments. The compression design ensures a gas-tight connection, reducing resistance and preventing hot spots. For utility engineers and contractors, the WR369 delivers a cost-effective, field-proven solution for reliable electrical connections in medium to high-voltage systems.
