Overview

The NSI Industries Polaris IPL4-3C Multi-Tap Single Side Entry Vision Tap Connector is a pre-insulated, 3-port splicing solution engineered for secure, visible conductor connections in industrial and commercial electrical installations. Designed for 4 to 14 AWG copper or aluminum conductors, this connector supports line and load side applications up to 600V and operates reliably from -45°C to 90°C (-49°F to 194°F). Each port is pre-loaded with an oxide inhibitor to prevent corrosion and maintain long-term conductivity, while removable port plugs secure entry points and block debris. The ergonomic, abrasion-resistant housing is molded for comfort during torque application with a hex key, eliminating the need for specialized tools beyond a standard torque wrench. The IPL4-3C is dual-rated for both copper and aluminum cables, with maximum ampacities of 95A for copper and 75A for aluminum. Its single-side entry design simplifies installation in confined spaces, making it ideal for use in cable trays, panel boards, ducts, raceways, and troughs. Compatible with Class B and C conductors, this connector meets UL 486A-486B standards for insulated splicing devices and is optimized for parallel runs where multiple configurations are required. Choose the Polaris IPL4-3C for faster, cleaner, and more reliable multi-conductor splices in dry locations.
  • Clear Exterior: Vision Tap transparent design lets users see their work to ensure ideal conductor placement and the most secure connection
  • Ergonomic Design: Rounded corners and a smooth exterior finish over the plastisol insulation make Polaris connectors comfortable to grip
  • Removable Plugs: Each port and adjustable set screw is covered by a secure plug to prevent debris, moisture or contaminants from entering the insulated connector
  • Pre-filled Oxide Inhibitor: All 3 single-side entry ports come pre-filled with an oxide inhibitor gel to prevent corrosion and provide low-contact resistance
  • Professional Performance: The durable layer of insulation on each Polaris connector is UV, abrasion and chemical-resistant for reliable performance
