Blackburn ABP 640 C – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire sizes will the Blackburn ABP 640 C eyebolt connector take?
The ABP 640 C accepts conductors from #6 through 250 kcmil, with six tap ports under set screws. That range covers most overhead service and transformer tap work in one body, so you can land a large incoming run and smaller taps on the same connector.
2) How many conductors can I land on a Blackburn ABP 640 C multi-tap connector?
Six. It is a six-port set-screw connector, so one unit handles a run plus up to five taps instead of stacking multiple two-port blocks on the same pole or transformer.
3) Is the ABP 640 C connector rated for aluminum conductors or only copper?
It is an aluminum-body mechanical connector intended for overhead transformer and service work, and it meets or exceeds ANSI C119.4, which is the standard covering connectors for aluminum and copper conductors. The mechanical set-screw design means no crimp tool or die set is needed to make the connection.
4) Does the Blackburn ABP 640 C come insulated, or do I need to cover it?
It ships bare, with no insulation on the body. For any installation requiring an insulated connection you will need to add a separate cover or re-insulate the joint with tape or a boot after landing the conductors.
5) What temperature is the ABP 640 C connector good for?
Rated for conductor operating temperatures up to 90 degrees C, which lines up with standard 90 C rated building and service conductors. Size your conductors to the ampacity column you are actually using and the connector will not be the limiting element.
6) How big is the Blackburn ABP 640 C body, and what is the eyebolt size?
The connector measures 5-3/4 inches, and the eyebolt is a 1/2 by 4 inch. Check clearance on the crossarm or transformer bracket before ordering, since a six-port body of that length needs room for all the tap conductors to enter cleanly.
7) Do I need a crimp tool to install the ABP 640 C?
No. This is a mechanical set-screw connector, so it is installed with a wrench or hex driver to the set-screw torque, not with a hydraulic crimper and dies. That makes it practical for field taps and for adding a conductor later without cutting the run.
8) Is the ABP 640 C connector made in the USA for a Buy American job?
Country of origin on the ABP 640 C is the United States, which is what a government, school district, or utility procurement file usually needs documented for domestic-content requirements.
9) What standard does the Blackburn ABP 640 C meet for a utility spec submittal?
It meets or exceeds ANSI C119.4, the specification covering connectors for use between aluminum and copper conductors. Quote the part number ABP 640 C with that standard on the submittal.
10) Is the Blackburn ABP 640 C sold individually or in a box?
It is sold each, one connector per unit, so you can order the exact count for the pole or transformer bank rather than buying a full carton.
