Blackburn AMTD50046 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does the 500-4 in AMTD50046 mean?
It describes the conductor range the ports accept, running from 500 kcmil down to 4 AWG. Each of the six ports takes a conductor within that range, so one connector can serve a large feeder and several smaller taps off it.
2) What is the Blackburn AMTD50046 multi-tap connector used for?
The AMTD50046 is an AMT-style 6 port, double sided mechanical tap connector in aluminum. It lets you land multiple conductors off a single run in a panel, gutter, or pull box, with three ports on each side of the body rather than all six on one face. It carries a 600 V rating, so it suits standard low voltage distribution and service work.
3) Can I use the AMTD50046 connector on copper conductors, or is it aluminum only?
The connector body itself is aluminum. Blackburn's AMT series taps are dual rated for both copper and aluminum conductors, which is standard for this style of mechanical tap. If your job spec calls out a specific conductor combination, confirm it against the AL9CU marking on the part before installing.
4) Should I pick a double sided tap connector or a single sided one?
Double sided, like the AMTD50046, puts three ports on each face of the body. That is the one to use when conductors approach from both directions in a gutter or panel, because you avoid bending cable around the block. A single sided tap with all ports on one face is easier when everything comes from the same side and you are tight against a wall or backpan.
5) Does the Blackburn AMTD50046 come with an insulating cover?
It is sold as the bare connector, one each. Mechanical taps of this type are normally insulated in the field with a molded cover or with tape and resin, and the cover is ordered separately by matching it to the AMT body size.
6) What is the part number and country of origin on the Blackburn 6 port double sided tap?
Order it as Blackburn MPN AMTD50046. It is made in the United States, which matters if your job carries a domestic sourcing requirement on electrical materials.
