Blackburn ATC 600 TN – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the Blackburn ATC 600 TN a crimp connector or a mechanical set-screw connector?
It's a compression (crimp) connector. The ATC 600 TN is installed with a compression tool and die, not a set screw, so once it's crimped the joint is permanent and can't be re-opened to re-tension a conductor. If you need a connection you can take apart later for testing or re-termination, use a mechanical set-screw splice instead.
2) How many conductors does the Blackburn ATC 600 TN tap splice accept?
Two. It's a two-conductor splice, so it joins a run conductor to one tap or one cable to one cable. For a three-way or four-way arrangement you need a multi-port connector or a second splice.
3) Is the Blackburn ATC 600 TN insulated, or do I have to tape or shrink over it?
Bare metal, no insulation on the body. You cover it yourself after crimping, with tape, heat shrink, or a cold shrink sleeve sized to the finished barrel, or install it inside an enclosure or splice box where the joint stays protected.
4) Can I use the tin-plated Blackburn ATC 600 TN on both aluminum and copper conductors?
Yes. The barrel is aluminum with a tin plating, which is what makes it dual rated for aluminum-to-copper as well as aluminum-to-aluminum work. The tin layer keeps the copper from sitting directly against bare aluminum, which is where galvanic corrosion starts in a dissimilar-metal joint.
5) Does the Blackburn ATC 600 TN meet the connector standard my utility spec calls out?
It's built to ANSI C119.4, the standard covering connectors for use between aluminum and aluminum or aluminum and copper conductors. That's the reference most utility and industrial cable-splice specs cite for underground and above-grade connector qualification.
6) How long is the Blackburn ATC 600 TN splice, and will it fit in my junction box?
The body measures 5-29/32 inches long. Add your bending radius and conductor slack on each side when you're checking whether the finished splice lays into a box, gutter, or transformer pad without forcing the cable.
7) Is the Blackburn ATC 600 TN made in the USA for a Buy American job?
Country of origin on the ATC 600 TN is the United States, which is what a federal or utility contract with domestic-content language will ask you to document.
8) Do I order the Blackburn ATC 600 TN by the piece or by the box?
Each. Selling unit of measure is a single connector, so the quantity you enter is the number of splices you get. Order one per joint, plus spares, since a mis-crimped compression barrel is scrap.
9) What is the exact part number to order this Blackburn tapered compression tap splice?
Blackburn ATC 600 TN. That's the manufacturer part number for the tin-plated aluminum tapered compression tap splice, and it's the number to quote when a drawing or a distributor asks for the connector by catalog designation.
