Overview

The NSi Industries ASC6T Dual Rated Aluminum Splice is a high-conductivity aluminum compression connector engineered for splicing 6 AWG to 8 AWG aluminum or copper conductors. Manufactured from 6061T-6 aluminum alloy with electro-tin plating, this splice ensures superior corrosion resistance and low contact resistance, making it ideal for industrial, commercial, and utility applications. The ASC6T features a center stop for precise cable installation and is pre-filled with oxide inhibitor to prevent oxidation, extending service life. Color-coded caps and die index markings simplify identification and tool selection, while the UL486A/B and cULus listings confirm compliance with North American safety standards for wire connectors. Rated for 600V maximum (2000V per UL486B) and 90°C temperature operation, the ASC6T supports applications up to 35kV when installed per cable manufacturer specifications. Compatible with NSi N1240 and N121D crimp tools, this splice is distributed in packs of 24 units. The expanded wire range (6-8 AWG) accommodates versatile installations, and the gray color code ensures quick recognition in the field. Trust NSi Industries, a leader in electrical connectors, for reliable, code-compliant splicing solutions.

How to Install Aluminum Compression Connectors

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing aluminum compression connectors, ensuring a secure and reliable electrical connection.

Estimated time: 30m

Tools needed:

Wire strippers, Crimping tool, Wire brush

Supplies needed:

Aluminum compression connectors, Cable

  1. Select the appropriate connector

    Choose the correct lug or splice connector based on the size of the cable being installed, ensuring it matches the specifications in the provided chart.

  2. Strip the cable insulation

    Carefully strip the insulation from the conductor without nicking the strands, leaving enough length to fully insert the stripped conductor into the connector barrel.

  3. Clean the conductor

    Use a wire brush to clean the stripped portion of the conductor, removing any oxide films to ensure a good electrical connection.

  4. Insert the conductor into the connector

    Insert the cleaned and stripped conductor completely into the connector barrel, ensuring it fills the barrel completely.

  5. Crimp the connector

    Using the appropriate crimping tool, crimp the connector according to the manufacturer's specifications, ensuring the number of crimps is per side for a splice connector.

  6. Verify the connection

    Inspect the crimped connection to ensure it is secure and that there are no visible gaps or loose strands.
