Overview

The NSI Industries Polaris IPLD500-3C Multi-Tap Dual-Sided Entry Vision Tap Connector is a pre-insulated, 3-port splicing solution engineered for secure, high-current connections in industrial and commercial electrical installations. Designed for conductors sized from 500 MCM to 4 AWG, this connector supports both copper and aluminum cables with a maximum current rating of 430A (Cu) and 350A (Al) at 600V. The transparent plastisol body enables visual confirmation of conductor placement, ensuring proper alignment and reducing installation errors. Each dual-sided port is pre-loaded with oxide inhibitor to prevent corrosion and maintain low contact resistance over time. The IPLD500-3C features removable port plugs to secure entry closures and block debris, while hex screws with torque control ensure consistent, reliable connections without the need for additional taping or coverings. The ergonomic design provides a comfortable grip during installation, and the connector is rated for operation between -45°C and 90°C (-49°F to 194°F). Ideal for use in cable trays, panel boards, ducts, raceways, and troughs, this connector eliminates the need for separate insulation or taping supplies, streamlining installation and reducing material costs. Compatible with Class B and C conductors, the IPLD500-3C is a versatile choice for parallel runs and line/load side applications in dry locations. NSI Industries' Vision Tap series is recognized for its durability, chemical resistance, and abrasion resistance, making it a trusted solution for demanding electrical environments.
  • 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 dual-sided entry ports come pre-filled with an oxide inhibitor gel to prevent corrosion and provide low-contact resistance
  • Full Product Line: Polaris matches your application with multiple UL-listed parallel configurations across a range of gauges and number of ports
