Overview

The NSI Polaris IPLM4-4 Multi-Tap Mountable Single Side Entry Connector is a pre-insulated, 4-port splicing solution engineered for secure, high-performance connections in industrial and commercial wiring systems. The connector features a durable 6061-T6 aluminum alloy body with high-dielectric strength plastisol insulation, providing abrasion, chemical, and UV resistance while preventing combustion. Installation is simplified with 1/4" mounting holes on either side for direct attachment to troughs, panels, or wireways, eliminating the need for additional covers or taping. The single-side wire entry design streamlines routing in cable trays, ducts, raceways, and panel boards. With a compact 3.18" length, 1.24" width, and 1.39" height, the IPLM4-4 fits tight spaces while maintaining robust performance. Compatible with standard slotted hex tools, the IPLM4-4 is cold-rated to -45°C and dual-rated for parallel configurations, making it a versatile choice for demanding environments.
  • One-Side Wire Entry: Form secure connections between 4 conductors quickly using the single-side entry ports sized for wires between 4 and 14 AWG
  • Mounting Holes: Installation is simple with mounting holes on either side of the connector to attach directly to panels or troughs using 1/4" bolts
  • Ergonomic Design: The plastisol insulation features rounded corners for a comfortable grip and is UV, abrasion and chemical-resistant for durable performance
  • 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 4 single-side entry ports come pre-filled with an oxide inhibitor gel to prevent corrosion and provide low-contact resistance
