Blackburn OAPA-400 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size conductor does the Blackburn OAPA-400 pin terminal take?
The OAPA-400 is the 400 size in Blackburn's Color Keyed line, so it is made for 400 kcmil aluminum conductor. Its pink color code is the identifier for that size within the Color Keyed system, and it should only be crimped on the conductor size it is built for.
2) Why would I use an offset pin terminal instead of just landing the aluminum cable in the lug?
An offset pin terminal is crimped onto the aluminum conductor and gives you a solid round pin to land in a set-screw lug or terminal that will not accept a stranded aluminum cable directly. The offset body shifts the pin off the cable centerline, which helps line the pin up with a terminal that does not sit in line with the cable run. The OAPA-400 is a compression connection, so it needs the matching crimping die and tool, not a wrench.
3) Is the OAPA-400 aluminum body safe to put into a copper or tinned lug?
The body is aluminum with a tin plated surface. Tin plating is what lets an aluminum connector be used at a copper or copper-alloy terminal without bare aluminum-to-copper contact. Note the pin itself is aluminum, so the terminal it lands in must be rated AL or AL/CU.
4) Can I use an OAPA-400 pin terminal on a 600 volt feeder?
Yes. The OAPA-400 carries a 600 V rating and is UL listed under file E9809, which covers it for standard 600 volt power distribution work.
5) Is the Blackburn OAPA-400 made in the USA for a Buy American spec job?
Country of origin on the OAPA-400 is the United States, which is the line item a government, school, or healthcare procurement file usually needs for domestic-preference documentation.
6) Is the OAPA-400 sold individually or in a bag?
It is sold each, so quantity one gets you a single 400 pin terminal. Order one per conductor you are terminating.
7) Can I reuse or re-crimp an OAPA-400 pin terminal?
No. It is a compression connector, crimped once with the correct die and permanently deformed onto the conductor. If the crimp is wrong or the cable is cut back, cut the terminal off and install a new one.
