Overview

This 12-port connector accommodates wire sizes from 250 MCM down to 6 AWG, supporting both copper and aluminum conductors with a maximum current rating of 1053A for copper and 820A for aluminum. The dual-sided design allows wire entry from either side, with removable access plugs to seal unused ports, enabling flexible installation in cable trays, panel boards, ducts, raceways, or troughs. The aluminum alloy body is coated with high-dielectric strength plastisol insulation, providing abrasion, chemical, and UV resistance while preventing combustion. Pre-loaded with oxide inhibitor, the connector eliminates the need for additional taping or covers, streamlining installation with just a hex key and torque wrench (torque value: 30 in-lbs). Mounting is simplified via 1/4" holes on either side, compatible with 5/16" bolts for secure attachment to troughs or panels. Operating at 600V and rated for 90°C, the IPLMD250-12 is cold-temperature rated to -45°C, making it ideal for harsh environments. The ergonomic, molded design ensures a comfortable grip and precise fit, while the UL-listed parallel configurations expand compatibility across diverse industrial wiring systems. Choose Polaris for reliable, code-compliant connections in power distribution, motor control centers, and renewable energy installations.
