Blackburn APS02 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What wire sizes does the Blackburn APS02 split-bolt connector take?
The APS02 is rated for 2 through 8 AWG conductors. That covers the common range for service and feeder taps down to branch-circuit grounding conductors, and it will join two runs anywhere inside that range, including a larger conductor to a smaller one as long as both fall between 2 and 8 AWG.
2) Can I use an aluminum split-bolt like the Blackburn APS02 on copper wire?
The APS02 body is aluminum with an electro tin-plated finish. Tin plating over aluminum is what allows a connector to be used on both copper and aluminum conductors without the dissimilar-metal corrosion you get from bare aluminum on copper. Confirm the AL9CU or dual-rated marking stamped on the connector body matches your application before you make the splice.
3) Does a split-bolt connector need to be taped or insulated after the splice?
Yes. A split-bolt is a bare mechanical connector, so the completed splice has no insulation of its own. Electricians build the insulation back with rubber splicing tape followed by vinyl electrical tape, or fit an insulating cover sized for the connector. Order that covering separately, it does not come with the APS02.
4) Split-bolt or compression connector for a feeder tap in a panel?
A split-bolt like the APS02 is mechanical, so it goes on with a wrench and can be taken apart later, which suits panel taps, service entrance work, and repairs where you may need to break the connection again. A compression connector needs a die and crimp tool and is not reusable, but it seals into a single body and is often preferred where the splice will be buried or submerged. For accessible, re-enterable splices in 2-8 AWG, the split-bolt is the usual choice.
5) Will the APS02 hold up in a damp or outdoor service entrance?
The electro tin plating over the aluminum body resists oxidation, which is the failure mode that loosens a bare aluminum connection over time. It is used in service entrance and utility distribution work. In a wet location you still need the splice fully insulated and, on aluminum conductors, brushed and treated with an oxide-inhibiting compound before torquing.
6) Do I get one connector or a pack when I order the Blackburn APS02?
Pricing and packaging are per piece, the selling unit is each. If you are splicing a three-phase feeder plus neutral, count one connector per conductor pair and order accordingly.
7) Where is the Blackburn APS02 split-bolt made?
Country of origin is listed as Mexico and the United States. For agencies and institutional buyers running domestic-preference procurement, that is the sourcing record on this part.
