Overview

The NSI C-500 Long Barrel Tinned Copper Splice is a high-conductivity compression connector engineered for 500 MCM copper conductors in demanding electrical applications. Manufactured from 99% pure copper tubing, this splice delivers superior current-carrying capacity and thermal performance, rated for a maximum temperature of 90°C and 600V. The tin-plated finish provides corrosion resistance, extending service life in harsh environments while maintaining optimal conductivity. Designed for Class B or C building wire copper cable only, the C-500 features serrations to indicate precise crimp locations, ensuring consistent, reliable connections. Each splice is color-coded (Brown) and marked with die index information for easy identification and inventory management. The expanded wire range accommodates 500-250 MCM conductors, offering flexibility in field applications. With an internal diameter of 0.83 inches, outer diameter of 1.063 inches, and total length of 4.25 inches, the C-500 is optimized for high-amperage connections in industrial and utility settings. It is suitable for use at voltages up to 35KV when installed according to cable manufacturer voltage stress relief instructions, with a maximum of 5KV for bare splices. The splice is compatible with NSI N12ID dieless compression tools for efficient installation. Ideal for power distribution, motor control centers, and renewable energy systems, the C-500 ensures dependable performance in critical infrastructure. Consult NEC manuals for specific ampacity calculations based on insulation type and conductor material. This splice is part of NSI Industries' C Series, a trusted line of copper compression connectors designed for durability and precision.

Estimated time: 30m

Tools needed:

Wire strippers, Crimping tool, Wire brush

Supplies needed:

Copper compression connectors, Cable

  1. Strip the conductor

    Carefully strip the insulation from the conductor without nicking the strands, ensuring the stripped length allows for complete insertion into the connector barrel.

  2. 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.

  3. Insert the conductor

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

  4. Crimp the connector

    Using the appropriate crimping tool, apply pressure to crimp the connector securely onto the conductor, following the manufacturer's suggested crimp locations.

  5. Verify the connection

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