How to Install the SCMS120-Q Copper Compression Connector

Instructions for installing Panduit copper compression connectors using appropriate tooling and dies.

Estimated time: 15m

Tools needed:

Crimping tool (e.g., CT-100, CT-200, CT-1570, CT-600, CT-1701, Cembre HT131-C), Wire strippers

Supplies needed:

SCMS120-Q connector, Copper cable

  1. Select the correct tool and die

    Consult the tool chart to select the appropriate Panduit crimping tool and die part number based on the wire size, class, and connector type you are using. Note the required number of crimps and the die pocket number.

  2. Prepare the wire

    Using wire strippers, strip the copper cable to the length specified in the tool chart for your selected connector and wire size. Ensure the strip length is accurate.

  3. Insert connector and wire into tool

    Insert the connector into the selected die on the crimping tool. Insert the stripped end of the copper cable into the connector barrel.

  4. Crimp the connector

    Crimp the connector onto the wire using the selected tool and die. Refer to the tool chart for the required number of compressions. Crimp between the color bands or knurl markings on the connector barrel, starting near the tongue and working towards the wire end to ensure even spacing of crimps.

  5. Verify the crimp

    Visually inspect the crimp to ensure it is secure and meets the specifications indicated by the tool and die. For critical applications, consider pull testing or using a multimeter to verify electrical continuity.
