Blackburn ADR21 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can the Blackburn ADR21 connector be used on both copper and aluminum conductors?
Yes. The ADR21 is a dual-rated mechanical connector, meaning it is rated for both copper and aluminum conductors. The body itself is aluminum with a tin plated finish, which is the standard construction for dual-rated lugs because the plating limits galvanic corrosion at a copper-to-aluminum interface.
2) What wire sizes will the Blackburn ADR21 accept?
The ADR21 takes a single conductor from 2/0 AWG down to 14 AWG. That one range covers most feeder taps, panel grounds and branch circuit terminations, so an electrician can stock one part instead of several size-specific lugs. It is a one-conductor connector, not a multi-tap body.
3) Is the Blackburn ADR21 UL listed for commercial and industrial work?
The ADR21 carries UL file E9809, which is what an inspector or a spec writer on a commercial or industrial job will want to see on a mechanical connector. It is used in building wiring, control panels and distribution equipment.
4) Does the ADR21 connector come insulated, or do I need to cover it after landing the wire?
It ships bare. Insulation material on the ADR21 is listed as none, so the connection has to be insulated in the field with tape or a suitable cover, or else installed inside an enclosure where that is not required.
5) What is the 1/4 inch spacing on the Blackburn ADR21 connector?
Spacing on the ADR21 is 1/4 inch, the mounting hole and stud dimension the connector is built around. Check the stud or bolt on the bus, panel or ground bar you are landing on matches before ordering, since that dimension decides whether it bolts up without drilling.
6) Is the Blackburn ADR21 sold individually or in a box quantity?
It is sold each, one connector per unit, so you can buy exactly the count a job needs. The orderable part number is ADR21.
7) Will a tin plated aluminum connector hold up in a damp or corrosive location?
Tin plating over the aluminum body is there specifically for corrosion resistance and to keep contact resistance stable over time. That is what makes it workable in outdoor enclosures and damp industrial spaces, though the connection still needs to be protected inside a suitable enclosure since the lug itself is bare metal with no insulation.
8) Where is the Blackburn ADR21 connector made?
Country of origin on the ADR21 is Mexico, which matters if you are filing origin documentation on a government or institutional purchase.
