Overview

NSI Industries IPCS5040 Insulation Piercing Connector is a UL486B-listed, dual-rated device engineered for safe, reliable copper-to-copper, copper-to-aluminum, and aluminum-to-aluminum connections without wire stripping. Rated for 600V and 90°C operation, this connector handles main conductors from 500 MCM to 2/0 AWG and tap conductors from 4/0 to 4 AWG, supporting current ratings up to 440A (copper) and 315A (aluminum). The exclusive "turbo spacer" maintains an open tap side during installation, eliminating the need for a third hand and ensuring consistent torque application via double shear-head bolts. Fully insulated with a rubber grommet seal, the IPCS5040 is watertight, corrosion-resistant, and prevents water migration or contamination between main and tap conductors. Installation requires no special tools, tape, or spacers, and the connector can be installed on energized main conductors—though the tap must not be under load. Dimensions are 4.5" (H) x 3.0" (W) x 3.9" (L), with a standard pack quantity of 2 units. Ideal for overhead and underground distribution systems, panelboards, and branch circuit taps where rapid, code-compliant connections are critical. Compatible with solid or stranded conductors, this connector meets ANSI C119.4 standards and is not approved for submersible or extra-flexible cable applications.
