Overview

The NSI Industries SC-8 is a standard barrel tinned copper splice designed for 8 AWG conductors. Manufactured from high-conductivity copper tubing, this compression connector ensures reliable electrical connections. Its tin plating provides excellent corrosion resistance, extending the lifespan of the splice in various industrial environments. Each SC-8 splice is clearly marked with the appropriate die index and color-coded (Red for 8 AWG) for quick and easy identification, streamlining installation and maintenance processes. This splice is UL486A Listed and cULus Listed (155027), meeting stringent industry safety standards. It is rated for a maximum temperature of 90°C and a voltage of 600V. Crucially, the SC-8 is suitable for use at voltages up to 35KV when properly installed according to cable manufacturer's voltage stress relief instructions, though it is rated for a maximum of 5KV in all bare splice applications. The connector features serrations that clearly indicate proper crimp locations, minimizing the risk of improper installation. The SC-8 is part of NSI's extensive line of compression connectors, offering a dependable solution for electrical infrastructure. For optimal performance and expanded wire range capabilities, consider using the NSI N12ID dieless compression tool. Consult your current NEC manual for maximum ampacity calculations based on specific insulation types and conductor materials.

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.
