Overview

The NSI Industries SC-4/0B Short Barrel Copper Compression Splice is a UL486A and cULus Listed connector designed for reliable, high-current connections in flexible copper cable applications. This splice features flared openings at both ends to simplify cable insertion, accommodating 4/0 AWG to 1 AWG flexible and extra-flexible cables such as locomotive, welding, and mining cables. The positive center stop ensures proper alignment and consistent crimping, while the tin-plated copper construction provides corrosion resistance and long-term durability. Rated for 600V and 90°C operation, the SC-4/0B is ideal for heavy-duty industrial environments where secure, low-resistance connections are critical. The connector's expanded wire range (4/0 to 1 AWG) is optimized for use with NSI's N12ID dieless compression tool, ensuring versatility and ease of installation. With a barrel I.D. of 0.547 inches, O.D. of 0.689 inches, and a length of 1.902 inches, this splice is engineered for compatibility with Class H and Class M ASTM copper cables. NSI Industries, a trusted name in industrial connectors, delivers a product that meets stringent UL and cULus standards for safety and performance. The SC-4/0B is specifically designed for flexible copper cable and is rated for copper cables only. The flared openings at both ends are a key feature for ensuring ease of cable insertion, particularly for flexible and extra flexible cables. The positive center stop is a critical design element that guarantees proper alignment during the compression process. The tin-plating is applied to provide enhanced corrosion resistance, contributing to the longevity and reliability of the connection. This splice is rated for 600 volts, making it suitable for a wide range of electrical applications. The construction is entirely copper, as indicated by its classification as a copper compression splice. The short barrel design is optimized for specific applications where space may be a consideration. The SC-4/0B is a robust solution for connecting flexible copper conductors in demanding environments.

How to Install Copper Compression Connectors

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing copper compression connectors, ensuring secure and reliable electrical connections.

Estimated time: 30m

Tools needed:

Wire strippers, Crimping tool, Wire brush

Supplies needed:

Copper compression connectors, Cable

  1. Strip the conductor

    Carefully strip the insulation from the conductor without nicking the strands, ensuring the stripped length allows for complete insertion into the connector barrel.

  2. Clean the conductor

    Use a wire brush to clean the stripped portion of the conductor, removing any oxide films to ensure a good electrical connection.

  3. Insert the conductor

    Insert the cleaned and stripped conductor completely into the connector barrel, ensuring it fills the barrel fully.

  4. Crimp the connector

    Using the appropriate crimping tool, apply pressure to crimp the connector securely onto the conductor, following the manufacturer's suggested crimp locations.

  5. Verify the connection

    Inspect the crimped connection to ensure it is secure and that there are no visible gaps or loose strands.
