Blackburn APA-300 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the Blackburn APA-300 pin terminal used for?
The APA-300 is an aluminum solid pin terminal, a wire lug that converts a large aluminum or copper conductor into a solid pin so it can land in a terminal that only accepts a pin or small solid conductor. Common use is feeding a breaker, panelboard lug, or meter socket terminal that will not take stranded aluminum cable directly. It is rated 600 V.
2) Is the Blackburn APA-300 rated for 600 volt service entrance and panel work?
Yes, the APA-300 carries a 600 V rating, which covers standard commercial and residential service and feeder work up to 600 volts. It is UL listed under file E63167.
3) Can the APA-300 pin terminal be used on copper conductors as well as aluminum?
The APA-300 is an aluminum-bodied terminal marked AL, meaning it is intended for aluminum conductors. Blackburn's dual-rated terminals carry an AL9CU or CU/AL mark; this one does not, so do not assume copper use. For copper conductors, specify a dual-rated pin terminal instead.
4) What does the brown color coding on the Blackburn APA-300 mean?
The brown body is Blackburn's color code identifying the conductor size range the terminal takes, in this case the 300 group. Matching the color to the die and the cable size on the job is how an electrician keeps the right terminal on the right conductor when several sizes are open in the panel at once.
5) Is the APA-300 a mechanical screw lug or a compression terminal?
It is a solid pin terminal, not a set-screw lug. Terminals of this style are crimped onto the conductor with a compression tool and the matching die, so plan on having a hydraulic or battery crimper on site rather than just a hex key.
6) Is the Blackburn APA-300 made in the USA for a Buy American spec job?
Country of origin on the APA-300 is the United States, which is what institutional and government buyers working to a domestic-content requirement need on the submittal. It is also UL listed under file E63167.
7) What is the exact part number to order the brown 300 Blackburn aluminum pin terminal?
The manufacturer part number is APA-300, Blackburn brand. That is the number to put on a purchase order or match against an existing installed terminal.
8) Does the Blackburn APA-300 come as a single piece or in a bag?
The APA-300 sells as each, so one terminal per unit. Order one per conductor being terminated, plus spares, since a mis-crimped pin terminal cannot be reused.
