Overview

The NSi Industries Polaris IPLD500-5 Multi-Tap Dual-Sided Entry Connector is a pre-insulated, UL Listed 486B wire connector engineered for secure, high-current splicing of large conductors in industrial and commercial applications. This 5-port connector accommodates wire sizes from 500 MCM down to 4 AWG, supporting both copper and aluminum cables with a dual rating of 806A (copper) and 631A (aluminum). The aluminum alloy body is wrapped in high-dielectric strength plastisol insulation, providing abrasion, chemical, and UV resistance while preventing combustion. Each dual-sided port allows wire entry from either side, eliminating the need for additional covers or taping. The connector features removable access plugs over hex screws for tool-free port closure and precise torque control using a hex key and torque wrench (5/16" hex size, 450 in-lbs torque). Designed for installation in cable trays, panel boards, ducts, raceways, or troughs, the IPLD500-5 measures 9.690" in length, 2.500" in width, and 2.940" in height. It operates at 600V and 90°C, with a cold temperature rating down to -45°C. The all-in-one design reduces installation time and material costs by combining insulation, oxide inhibitor, and mounting functionality in a single unit.
  • Dual-Sided Wire Entry: Form secure connections between 5 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 5 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
