Blackburn AMTD50065 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What conductor size range does the Blackburn AMTD50065 multi-tap connector accept?
The AMTD50065 is a 500-6 connector, so each port takes conductors from 500 kcmil down to 6 AWG. That range covers a main feeder run and smaller branch taps in the same block, which is why it gets used for multiple tap-offs from a single large conductor.
2) How many ports does the AMTD50065 have and are they on one side or both?
Five ports, arranged both sides. A both-side (dual-sided) block lets you land conductors entering from opposing directions instead of forcing every lead in from one face, which matters in a tight enclosure or pull box where cables come from two directions.
3) Is the Blackburn AMTD50065 rated for 600 volt service?
Yes, it carries a 600 V rating, which covers standard commercial and industrial power distribution up to 600 V. That puts it in range for panel feeders, service taps, and motor circuits at 480 V and below.
4) Is this multi-tap connector UL listed and CSA approved for an inspected job?
It is covered under UL file E9809 and CSA 6591, so it will satisfy an inspector looking for listed connectors on both sides of the border. Institutional and MRO buyers standardizing on listed components can cite those file numbers directly on a submittal.
5) Can I use this Blackburn connector on aluminum conductors, or copper only?
The body is aluminum, and Blackburn AMTD-series multi-tap blocks of this type are dual-rated for aluminum and copper conductors. Use the correct joint compound practice for the conductor you are landing, and do not mix materials in ways your spec prohibits.
6) Do I need an insulating cover, or is the AMTD50065 insulated as supplied?
This is a bare aluminum tap block, not a pre-insulated device. For an accessible or exposed location you will need to add a separate insulating cover or install it inside an enclosure or junction box to meet live-parts guarding requirements.
7) Is this Blackburn tap connector made in the USA for Buy American requirements?
Country of origin is the United States, which is the answer government, education, and public utility procurement teams need when domestic-content language is in the purchase order.
8) Is the Blackburn AMTD50065 sold individually or in a multi-pack?
Sold each. One AMTD50065 block per unit, so order one per tap point rather than expecting a pair or a kit.
