Blackburn ADR80-12D – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can the Blackburn ADR80-12D be used on copper as well as aluminum conductors?
Yes. The ADR80-12D is a dual-rated mechanical connector, which is the industry term for a lug approved for both aluminum and copper conductors. The aluminum body is tin-plated, which is what allows direct contact with copper without the galvanic corrosion you would get from bare aluminum on copper.
2) What wire size range does the Blackburn ADR80-12D take?
It is built for 300 through 800 kcmil conductors, one per lug. That puts it in service-entrance and large feeder territory, not branch circuit work. If your conductor is smaller than 300 kcmil, you need a smaller lug in the ADR family, because a conductor undersized for the barrel will not seat or torque correctly.
3) Is the ADR80-12D a one-hole or two-hole mount lug?
Two-hole mount, with 1/2 inch hole spacing on centers. Two-hole pads resist the conductor twisting the lug on the bus, which is why utilities and many specs call for them on large feeders. Confirm your bus or pad has matching 1/2 inch drilled centers, otherwise a one-hole lug or a different NEMA spacing is what you need.
4) Does the ADR80-12D take more than one conductor per lug?
No. It is a single-conductor lug, one 300 to 800 kcmil cable per barrel. For paralleled sets you order one lug per conductor, or move to a multi-tap connector rated for the number of runs you are landing.
5) Why choose a mechanical lug like the ADR80-12D instead of a compression lug?
A mechanical connector lands the conductor with setscrews, so all you need is a hex key or torque wrench, no hydraulic crimper, no die sets, and no die-index matching. That matters for field terminations and for maintenance work where a conductor may need to be pulled and re-landed. Compression lugs are the choice where a spec calls for a crimped, non-reusable termination. The ADR80-12D is the mechanical option, dual rated for aluminum or copper at 300 to 800 kcmil.
6) Is the Blackburn ADR80-12D sold individually or in a pack?
It sells as each, one lug per unit, under part number ADR80-12D. Count your terminations before ordering, since a three-phase plus neutral termination at one end of a run is four lugs, and a two-hole pad job usually means matching lugs at both ends.
7) Where is the Blackburn ADR80-12D made? We have domestic-content requirements on our project.
Country of origin is Mexico. If your job carries Buy America or similar domestic-sourcing language, this lug will not satisfy it and you need a US-manufactured connector instead.
