3M SC0001 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What conductor sizes does the 3M SC0001 stem connector take?
The SC0001 accepts 2 to 1 AWG stranded conductors, or 1 to 1/0 AWG solid. If your cable falls outside that range the crimp won't be sound, so size the conductor first before ordering.
2) Can I use this 3M stem connector on aluminum cable, or is it copper only?
Both. The SC stem connector uses a tin-plated aluminum barrel that installs on either copper or aluminum conductors, and it ships with antioxidant paste already in the barrel for the aluminum connections.
3) What voltage class is the 3M SC0001 connector rated for?
Rated up to 35 kV, so it covers 15 kV, 25 kV and 35 kV class underground-to-overhead transitions. For anything above 35 kV this is the wrong part.
4) Do I need to crimp both ends of the 3M SC stem connector?
Only the cable end. The stem is factory crimped and sealed to the barrel, so on the job you make one compression crimp onto your conductor and land the stem on the overhead line.
5) How long is the stem on the 3M SC0001, and how thick?
The tin-plated copper stem is 6 inches long (152.4 mm) and 0.25 inch in diameter (6.4 mm). That gives you the length to land in a hot line clamp or connector on the aerial side without adding a pigtail.
6) Is a stem connector the right choice, or should I be using a two-hole lug?
Different jobs. A stem connector like the SC0001 has no bolt holes at all (zero-hole design) because the tin-plated copper stem is meant to be tapped into an overhead aerial line. If you're bolting to a transformer pad, bus, or switchgear stud, you want a drilled one- or two-hole compression lug instead.
7) Can the 3M SC0001 be installed outdoors on an overhead riser pole?
Yes, it's rated for indoor and outdoor use, which is what the aerial riser application requires. The sealed factory stem crimp and the antioxidant paste in the barrel are what keep moisture out of the connection.
8) How many 3M SC0001 stem connectors come in a case?
They're packed 10 per case. Utility and line crews usually buy by the case since a riser installation consumes one per phase.
9) Is the 3M SC0001 RoHS compliant for a government or utility spec job?
It is RoHS 2011/65/EU compliant without exemption. For federal contracts that require a country of origin representation, 3M requires Trade Compliance certification rather than relying on the packaging statement.
10) What is the 3M part number and barrel style for this stem connector?
Order it as 3M SC0001, from the SC stem connector series, built with a standard barrel rather than a long or offset barrel.
