Blackburn PA31 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire size does the Blackburn PA31 pin adapter terminal take?
The Blackburn PA31 is sized for 3/0 stranded conductor. It is a pin adapter terminal, so it accepts the 3/0 stranded cable on the barrel end and converts it to a solid pin for landing in a breaker or lug jaw that will not take stranded wire cleanly.
2) Can I use the Blackburn PA31 on copper wire, or is it aluminum only?
The PA31 body is aluminum and it is a dual-rated AL/CU (TP) terminal, so it can be used on either aluminum or copper 3/0 stranded conductor. Use the oxide-inhibiting compound normally required on aluminum terminations.
3) Why would I use a pin adapter terminal instead of landing the stranded cable directly in the breaker lug?
Some equipment terminals, particularly older or smaller breaker and disconnect lugs, are prepped for a solid or pin-style conductor and will not clamp a large stranded cable reliably. The PA31 crimps onto 3/0 stranded and presents a solid pin at the other end, so the cable lands in that terminal as the equipment expects. If your breaker lug is already rated for stranded at that size, you do not need a pin adapter, a straight compression or mechanical lug is the simpler termination.
4) I have a Blackburn PA31 on an old spec sheet, what is the current part number?
PA31 is the Blackburn manufacturer part number, and the current replacement product ID on record is 7TAH007770R0083. Both point to the same aluminum pin adapter terminal for 3/0 stranded conductor.
5) What does the red color on the Blackburn PA31 pin terminal mean?
Red is the color code on this Blackburn pin adapter, and on this family of terminals the color identifies the wire range the barrel is built for, here 3/0 stranded. On a panel with several pin adapters staged, the red body is how the installer picks the 3/0 out of the pile without re-reading every stamp.
6) Is the Blackburn PA31 made in the USA?
Country of origin on the PA31 aluminum pin adapter terminal is the United States, which matters on federal, municipal and other domestic-preference jobs where terminations fall under the procurement requirement.
7) Are Blackburn PA31 pin terminals sold individually or in packs?
Selling unit is each, so a quantity of one is a single pin adapter. On a three phase plus neutral landing you would order four, one per conductor.
