Blackburn APA-400 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does the Blackburn APA-400 pin terminal actually do?
The APA-400 is an aluminum solid pin terminal. It crimps onto a conductor and converts the stranded end into a solid pin so it can be landed in a lug or terminal block that won't accept the stranded cable directly. It's a wire-termination lug-type fitting rated 600 V, and it's sold individually.
2) Is the APA-400 rated for 480V three-phase gear?
Yes. The APA-400 carries a 600 V rating, which covers 120/208, 277/480 and other common commercial distribution voltages up to 600 V.
3) Can I use an aluminum pin terminal like the APA-400 on copper conductors?
The APA-400 is an aluminum body. Aluminum-bodied pin terminals are made for aluminum conductors; for copper you want a copper or a dual-rated AL9CU connector in the matching size instead. If the cable you're terminating is copper, this is the wrong part.
4) Is the Blackburn APA-400 UL listed?
It's built under UL file E63167, so it's a UL-recognized/listed aluminum pin terminal for 600 V use. Inspectors asking for a listed termination on aluminum conductors will want that file reference.
5) Why is the APA-400 pin terminal pink, and does the color mean anything?
Pink is the die/size color code on the APA-400. Compression connectors in this family are color coded so a crew can confirm at a glance that the connector, the conductor size and the crimp die all match before the tool closes. Pink identifies the 400 size in the APA series.
6) Is the Blackburn APA-400 made in the USA for a Buy American job?
Country of origin on the APA-400 is the United States. That's the data point procurement officers on federally funded or Buy American specified work are usually chasing.
7) What part number do I give my distributor for this Blackburn pin terminal?
Order it as Blackburn APA-400. That's the manufacturer part number, the 400 size in the APA aluminum solid pin terminal series.
8) How is the APA-400 sold, one piece or in a box?
By the piece. The selling unit is each, so you order the exact count of terminations you need rather than a fixed carton.
