How to Install the LCAS4/0-38-X Compression Connectors

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing LCAS4/0-38-X compression connectors on copper cables.

Estimated time: 30m

Tools needed:

Wire strippers, Crimping tool, Multimeter

Supplies needed:

LCAS4/0-38-X connectors, Copper wire, Cleaning cloth

  1. Prepare the wire

    Strip the insulation from the copper wire to a length of 5/8 inches, ensuring not to nick or damage the conductor strands.

  2. Clean the wire

    Use a cleaning cloth to remove any dirt or oxidation from the stripped end of the wire to ensure a good connection.

  3. Insert the wire into the connector

    Insert the stripped wire into the LCAS4/0-38-X connector until it stops. Ensure that the wire is fully seated in the connector.

  4. Crimp the connector

    Using the appropriate crimping tool, place the connector in the die and crimp it between the color bands or knurl markings. Ensure to make the required number of compressions as indicated.

  5. Inspect the connection

    After crimping, inspect the connector for any sharp edges, flash, or burrs and remove them if present.

  6. Test the connection

    Use a multimeter to verify the electrical continuity of the connection to ensure it is properly installed.
