Overview

The Polaris IPLD250-5C 5-Port Dual-Sided Connector provides the simplest solution for forming a secure connection between up to five conductors in applications including cable trays, panel boards, ducts, raceways or troughs. Sized for 250 MCM - 6 AWG wires and rated for 600V, this pre-insulated connector comes pre-loaded with an oxide inhibitor and installs faster than traditional uninsulated connector options using just a hex key and torque wrench. The clear body lets installers see their work for optimal conductor placement and is ergonomically molded to offer a comfortable grip, in addition to being resistant to abrasion and chemicals. All-in-one design saves time and supplies on each job by eliminating the need for cover and taping; simply strip back their insulation, brush the conductors clean, insert one conductor into each port and secure the covered pressure screws. The IPLD250-5C connector is rated for a 90 degrees Celsius operating temperature and dual rated for use with copper and/or aluminum cables, up to max AMP ratings of 527 and 410 respectively. Polaris pre-insulated connectors are available in a range of port numbers and configurations to fit the needs of any job, including UL-listed parallel configurations. Polaris: the original pre-insulated connector and still the brand most asked for by name.
  • 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 5 dual-sided entry ports come pre-filled with an oxide inhibitor gel to prevent corrosion and provide low-contact resistance
  • Parallel Rated: This connector is specifically designed and rated for parallel installation, providing a safe and secure way to handle larger projects
