Blackburn OAPA-1000 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size conductor does the Blackburn OAPA-1000 offset pin terminal take?
The OAPA-1000 is built for 1000 kcmil cable. It is a single-size terminal, so it won't take a smaller conductor and still make a proper compression joint. For other conductor sizes you need the matching OAPA part for that kcmil.
2) Can I use the Blackburn OAPA-1000 pin terminal on copper cable?
No. This terminal is aluminum bodied and catalogued as an aluminum pin terminal, so it is intended for aluminum conductors. Landing it on copper puts you into a dissimilar-metal joint. Use a copper or dual-rated pin terminal sized for 1000 kcmil copper instead.
3) Why use an offset pin terminal instead of a standard lug on a 1000 kcmil feeder?
A pin terminal converts a large cable into a solid pin so it can land in a breaker, switch or panelboard terminal that is only built to accept a wire, not a bolted lug pad. The OAPA-1000 is the offset style, which shifts the pin off the cable axis to help line the pin up with the equipment terminal when the cable approach is not straight on. If the gear has a bolted pad, a conventional compression lug is the right choice instead.
4) What is the voltage rating on the Blackburn OAPA-1000?
Rated 600 V, which covers normal commercial and industrial service and feeder work at 120/208, 277/480 and 600 V. It is not a medium-voltage termination.
5) Does the OAPA-1000 come in a pack or is it sold individually?
Sold each, one terminal per unit, so order one per conductor being landed. On a 1000 kcmil three-phase feeder with a neutral, that is four.
6) Is the pin on the Blackburn OAPA-1000 solid or hollow?
Solid. The pin is a solid aluminum extension off the compression barrel, which is what lets it seat in a wire-type equipment terminal and take a set screw without collapsing.
7) What is the exact manufacturer part number for this Blackburn offset pin terminal?
Blackburn OAPA-1000. Blackburn is the sub-brand label on the product, and it is a compression cable or wire lug type termination for 1000 kcmil aluminum.
