Overview

The Panduit SCSF6-L is a copper compression butt splice engineered for #6 AWG stranded copper conductors in flex and locomotive cable applications. Its long, flared barrel design maximizes crimps, delivering premium wire pull-out strength and electrical performance. With an overall length of 2.38 inches (60.5 mm) and a wire strip length of 1.125 inches (28.6 mm), it ensures secure terminations. The blue color-coded barrel is clearly marked with Panduit Die Index P24 and Burndy Die Index 7, facilitating correct crimp die selection. This splice is compatible with Panduit Uni-Die™ dieless crimping tools for enhanced versatility. Constructed from tin-plated copper for corrosion resistance, it features internal wire stops to prevent over-insertion and maintain pull-out strength. The SCSF6-L is UL Listed and CSA Certified to 35 kV and rated for 90°C continuous operation. It also meets Telcordia NEBS Level 3 and American Bureau of Shipping (Type SCS) standards, making it suitable for rail, industrial, and utility environments requiring reliable, high-conductivity connections. Packaged in quantities of 50.

How to Install the Copper Compression Connectors

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing copper compression connectors, ensuring a secure and reliable electrical connection.

Estimated time: 30m

Tools needed:

Wire strippers, Crimping tool, Heat gun or propane torch

Supplies needed:

Copper compression connectors, Heat shrink tubing, Wire

  1. Prepare the wire

    Strip the wire insulation to the length specified in the tool chart, ensuring not to nick or damage the conductor strands.

  2. Insert the wire

    Insert the stripped wire into the copper compression connector until it reaches the stop. Ensure a snug fit.

  3. Crimp the connector

    Using the appropriate crimping tool, crimp the connector according to the specified number of crimps indicated on the tool chart, starting from the tongue end and moving towards the wire end.

  4. Inspect the crimp

    Check the crimped connection for sharp edges, flash, or burrs and remove any imperfections to ensure a safe connection.

  5. Apply heat shrink tubing

    Cut the heat shrink tubing to the desired length, allowing for at least 1-1/2 inch overlap on the wire insulation. Slide it over the crimped connector.

  6. Shrink the tubing

    Use a heat gun or propane torch to evenly shrink the tubing, moving from the crimped portion of the connector towards the insulated wire until the adhesive flows at the ends, indicating completion.
