Overview

The NSI Industries Polaris IPLD500-10 Multi-Tap Dual-Sided Entry Connector is a pre-insulated, UL Listed 486B wire connector designed for secure, high-current splicing applications. This 10-port connector accommodates wire sizes from 500 MCM down to 4 AWG, with a maximum ampacity of 1612A for copper and 1262A for aluminum cables. The dual-sided entry design allows wire access from either side, eliminating the need for additional covers or taping. The aluminum alloy body is coated with high-dielectric strength plastisol insulation, providing abrasion, chemical, and UV resistance while preventing combustion. Each port includes a removable access plug over hex screws for torque-controlled tightening, and unused ports can be sealed with supplied plugs. The connector operates at 90°C and is rated for 600V, making it suitable for installations in cable trays, panel boards, ducts, raceways, or troughs. The compact, stacked wire entry design maximizes space efficiency in tight-fitting panels and small wire ways. NSI Industries' Polaris connectors are engineered for parallel-rated applications, ensuring NEC compliance for parallel conductor runs. Available in multiple port configurations (4, 6, 8, 10, or 12 ports) and wire ranges (350 MCM-6 AWG, 500 MCM-4 AWG, 600 MCM-6 AWG, or 750 MCM-250 MCM), the IPLD500-10 is part of a comprehensive line of pre-insulated connectors optimized for industrial and commercial electrical systems.
  • Dual-Sided Wire Entry: Form secure connections between 10 conductors quickly using the double-side entry ports sized for wires between 500 MCM and 4 AWG
  • Ergonomic Design: Rounded corners and a smooth exterior finish over the abrasion-resistant plastisol insulation make Polaris connectors comfortable to grip
  • Removable Plugs: Each port and set screw comes with a secure plug to prevent debris from entering the insulated connector
  • Pre-filled Oxide Inhibitor: All 10 dual-sided entry (DSE) 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
