Blackburn DB 100 MM 100 MM ALUM PARALLEL CONN 100MMSQ

It's sized for 100 mm2 on both legs: main 100 mm2 and tap 100 mm2. Both conductors have to be that size, since an H-tap has one crimp cavity per conductor and the die is matched to the connector. If your main is a different size than your tap, you need a different DB part number with that main/tap combination.

The DB 100 MM 100 MM is an aluminum parallel (H-tap) connector supplied bare, with no insulation. Aluminum bodies of this type are commonly used for aluminum-to-aluminum taps; for copper or mixed copper-to-aluminum runs, use a connector rated by the manufacturer for that combination. Since the body is bare, the finished tap has to be insulated or covered in the field.

It is RUS Accepted and complies with ANSI C119.4 specifications, which is the standard for connectors used on electrical distribution and transmission conductors. That combination is what utility and co-op specs typically call for on aluminum taps.

Yes. The connector is rated for operation up to 90 C, so it matches 90 C rated conductor insulation systems such as XLPE and EPR cable.

Compression. It's crimped with a hydraulic or battery tool and the correct die, not bolted. If you need a tap you can take apart later or install with hand tools only, a mechanical bolted tap connector is the better choice; compression is the permanent, lower-resistance option.

Two conductors, one main and one tap, run side by side through the H-shaped body. Overall length is 2.187 inches, which is what you need to check against your available working space in a pedestal, handhole, or splice box before you order.

Yes, it's built around metric conductor sizing at 100 mm2 main and tap rather than AWG or kcmil. That makes it the right family for metric cable specs. Country of origin is Mexico, which matters on jobs with origin documentation requirements.

It sells as each, so one connector per unit. Count your taps and order the quantity you need, plus spares for misfires since a bad crimp cannot be reused.
