How to Install the SBC3-C Split Bolt Connector

Instructions for installing Panduit Split Bolt Connectors (SBC) for electrical connections.

Estimated time: 15m

Tools needed:

Torque wrench, Wire strippers, Pliers

Supplies needed:

Copper conductors, Aluminum conductors (if applicable)

  1. Prepare the Conductors

    Strip the ends of the copper and/or aluminum conductors according to the specifications in the provided table. Ensure the stripped length is appropriate for the connector size.

  2. Insert Conductors into Connector

    Insert one conductor into the 'run' side of the split bolt connector and the other conductor into the 'tap' side. Ensure the conductors are fully seated within the connector.

  3. Tighten the Connector

    Using a torque wrench, tighten the set screw of the split bolt connector to the required torque value specified in the table for the particular part number and conductor type. Refer to the nameplate or datasheet for specific torque values if they vary.

  4. Verify Connection

    Visually inspect the connection to ensure it is secure and that the conductors are properly aligned. For critical applications, use a multimeter to verify electrical continuity.
