Overview

NSI Industries WRD189 Dual Rated Wide Range Tap Connectors are engineered for reliable, high-strength connections between aluminum and aluminum-copper conductors in 3-1/0 AWG applications. These compression-type connectors are rated for 600V and designed for use with standard compression tools and dies, ensuring compatibility with existing tooling in industrial and electrical installations. Key features include formable ribs that expand contact area for improved conductivity and mechanical strength, while fold-in tabs provide a positive interlock during crimping to prevent conductor pull-out. Constructed from high-strength aluminum alloy, the WRD189 is fully reversible, allowing for flexible installation in tight spaces or when conductor orientation is uncertain. The connector accommodates both solid and stranded conductors, making it ideal for tapping into unbroken continuous mains, wire joints, or two-way splices. Standard packaging includes 25 units per carton, optimized for bulk handling in warehouses and job sites. For tool and die compatibility, refer to NSI Industries' compression tool charts (e.g., OD58, OD581, OD59) to ensure proper crimp profiles. The WRD189 meets industry standards for electrical performance and durability, providing a cost-effective solution for reducing inventory while maintaining reliability in critical applications.
