This connector is designed to accommodate a broad conductor range from 1 AWG to 4/0 AWG, simplifying inventory and ensuring compatibility across various applications. Installation is streamlined, utilizing standard compression tools and dies, with specific tool and die information available on page 92 of the NSi Industries catalog. The WRD279 features formable ribs that significantly increase the contact area, promoting a more robust and secure electrical connection. Additionally, integrated fold-in tabs ensure a positive interlock as the tool closes, preventing slippage and ensuring proper crimp formation. Constructed from high-strength aluminum alloy, these connectors offer durability and excellent conductivity. All WRD series connectors are reversible, adding to their versatility in installation. Rated for 600 Volts, the WRD279 is suitable for a wide range of industrial and commercial electrical systems. The catalog specifies the WRD279 for conductor combinations including ACSR, STR, and SOL conductors, with detailed range specifications provided in the catalog data. For the WRD279, the catalog indicates a standard conductor range for A Groove and B Groove, and compact conductor ranges for A Groove and B Groove, accommodating various conductor types and sizes within the 1-4/0 AWG spectrum. For example, it can be used for 3/0 AWG ACSR/STR/SOL in the A Groove and 2/0 AWG in the B Groove, or 4/0 AWG in the A Groove and 1/0 AWG in the B Groove, demonstrating its wide range-taking capability. The WRD279 is designed for use with specific tooling, with the D52 die being referenced for this model in the tool/die charts. This connector is a critical component for ensuring safe and efficient power distribution in demanding electrical environments.
