Blackburn AMTS250108 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What conductor range does the Blackburn AMTS250108 multi-tap connector accept?
The AMTS250108 is a 250-10 connector, meaning each of its eight ports takes conductors from 250 kcmil down to 10 AWG. That range covers most feeder taps and branch splices in a panel or pull box without needing a second connector size. It is an aluminum body rated for use on aluminum or copper conductors within that range.
2) Does this Blackburn multi-tap connector carry UL and CSA approvals for inspection?
It does. The AMTS250108 is covered under UL E9809 and CSA 6591, so it satisfies an inspector looking for a listed tap connector on both sides of the border. Institutional and government specs that require listed wiring components are met by those two file numbers.
3) What does "same side" mean on the Blackburn AMTS250108 8-port connector?
All eight ports enter from one face of the block rather than being split front and back. That matters in a shallow gutter or wireway: every conductor comes in from the same direction, so you are not routing half your taps around behind the connector. It also keeps all eight set screws accessible from a single approach when you torque them.
4) Is the Blackburn AMTS250108 rated for 600 volt service?
Yes. The AMTS250108 multi-tap connector carries a 600 V rating, which covers standard commercial and industrial feeder and branch circuit work at 120/208, 277/480 and similar systems. Anything above 600 V needs a medium-voltage rated connector instead.
5) Can I use an aluminum multi-tap connector like the AMTS250108 on copper conductors?
The AMTS250108 body is aluminum and is a dual-rated AL/CU style tap block, so it takes aluminum or copper within the 250 kcmil to 10 AWG range. Where you mix aluminum and copper in the same block, use the appropriate joint compound per the manufacturer's instruction and torque each port to the value marked on the connector.
6) Do I still need insulating cover or tape over an 8-port tap block like this?
Yes. The AMTS250108 is a bare aluminum tap block, black finished, and it ships as the connector only. Any insulating cover, boot, or tape system for the finished splice is a separate purchase, and it is required wherever the block sits in an accessible enclosure and the conductors are energized.
7) Is the Blackburn AMTS250108 made in the USA for a Buy American spec?
Country of origin on the AMTS250108 is the United States, which is what a government or federally funded project needs to see on a domestic-preference submittal for wiring components.
8) How many of these connectors do I get when I order one?
One. The AMTS250108 is sold each, not as a pair or a carton, so an eight-port splice in one gutter is one order line. Order one block per ungrounded conductor group you are tapping.
9) What is the exact part number to order this 8-port Blackburn tap connector?
Order Blackburn AMTS250108. That is the manufacturer part number for the aluminum same-side eight-port 250-10 multi-tap connector. Distributors cross-referencing it should note the AMTS prefix denotes the same-side port arrangement, which differs from Blackburn's opposed-port blocks.
