Raychem™ Shear Bolt Splice, 3/0 AWG to 500 MCM, CU/AL, 4 Screws

Description

TE Connectivity's (TE) aluminum shear bolt splice ASBS connectors are range taking mechanical connectors which accommodate a wide range of aluminum and copper conductors from no. 2 AWG compact stranded to 1000 MCM concentric stranded Class B to reduce inventory and prevent accidental use of wrong conductor. The primary application of aluminum shear bolt connectors is for underground splices up to 35 kV. TE's ASBS connectors are ideally suited for aluminum to aluminum, aluminum to copper and copper to copper applications making them the universal connector solution. The only tool required to install the connector is a standard ratchet wrench with the appropriate sized hexagonal sockets. The connectors design incorporates shear bolt heads, which ensures that the correct torque is applied to each bolt and consequently the optimal contact force is generated to minimize connection resistance. A holding tool is recommended to avoid core bending of conductors and can be ordered from TE (No. IT-1000-019). The solid center stop (available on all sizes) inside the connectors ensure proper conductor positioning and eliminates oil leakage when connecting oil impregnated conductors.
