Overview

The NSI Industries Polaris IPL600-3 Multi-Tap Single Side Entry Connector is a pre-insulated, 3-port splicing solution engineered for secure, high-current connections in industrial and commercial electrical systems. Designed for conductors ranging from 600 MCM to 6 AWG, this connector supports copper and aluminum cables (excluding fine-stranded, flexible wire) with a maximum operating temperature of 90°C and a voltage rating of 600V. The IPL600-3 features a single-side wire entry design, eliminating the need for additional covers or taping, which reduces installation time and material costs. The aluminum alloy body is coated with high-dielectric strength plastisol insulation, providing resistance to abrasion, chemicals, and UV exposure while ensuring non-combustibility. Each port includes a removable access plug over hex screws, allowing for precise torque application (550 in./lbs) using a 5/16" hex key and torque wrench. The connector's dimensions are 4.470" (L) x 2.710" (W) x 3.020" (H), making it suitable for installation in cable trays, panel boards, ducts, raceways, or troughs. With a UL Listed 486B rating for dry locations and cold temperature performance down to -45°C, the IPL600-3 is a reliable choice for demanding splicing applications where efficiency and durability are critical. NSI Industries' Polaris line remains a trusted brand for pre-insulated connectors, offering a range of port configurations to meet diverse project requirements.
  • One-Side Wire Entry: Form secure connections between 3 conductors quickly using the single-side entry ports sized for wires between 600 MCM and 6 AWG
  • 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
