Overview

The NSI Industries SC-6 is a 6 AWG tinned copper compression splice designed for reliable electrical connections in industrial and utility applications. Manufactured from high-conductivity copper tubing, this splice ensures low-resistance, high-integrity joints critical for power distribution systems. The tin-plated finish provides superior corrosion resistance, extending service life in harsh environments such as outdoor substations, industrial plants, and renewable energy installations. Each SC-6 is color-coded blue and marked with die index information for quick identification and correct tooling selection during installation. The barrel features serrations to indicate proper crimp locations, ensuring consistent, repeatable compression with NSI-compatible tools. The SC-6 supports wire ranges from 6 AWG to 8 AWG, with an inner diameter of 0.205 inches, outer diameter of 0.295 inches, and a length of 1.000 inches. It is rated for a maximum continuous voltage of 600V and can be used at voltages up to 35kV when properly taped and installed according to cable manufacturer instructions. For bare splices, the maximum voltage rating is 5kV. The SC-6 is part of NSI’s SC Series of copper compression splices, which includes sizes from 8 AWG to 750 MCM, providing scalable solutions for diverse conductor requirements. The SC-6 is optimized for use with NSI’s N12ID dieless compression tool, with additional tool compatibility listed in NSI’s tool and die charts. For high-voltage applications exceeding 2000V, consult the cable manufacturer for voltage stress relief instructions to ensure long-term reliability.

How to Install Copper Compression Connectors

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

Estimated time: 30m

Tools needed:

Wire strippers, Crimping tool, Multimeter

Supplies needed:

Copper compression connectors, Wire brush, Insulation tape

  1. Strip the conductor

    Carefully strip the insulation from the conductor to a length that allows the stripped conductor to fill the barrel of the connector completely. Avoid nicking the strands.

  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 barrel of the connector, ensuring it is fully seated.

  4. Crimp the connector

    Using the appropriate crimping tool, crimp the connector securely onto the conductor according to the manufacturer's specifications.

  5. Verify the connection

    Use a multimeter to check the continuity and ensure that the connection is secure and functioning properly.
