Blackburn PC 2-6533 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire sizes does the Blackburn PC 2-6533 copper compression splice accept?
The PC 2-6533 is built for copper conductors from No. 6 through No. 2 AWG. It joins two conductors end to end, one in each barrel, so it is a straight two-way splice rather than a tap or a multi-port connector.
2) Does the Blackburn PC 2-6533 splice come insulated, or do I have to tape or heat-shrink it?
It ships bare. The splice carries no insulation, so once it is crimped you need to insulate the joint yourself with tape, heat shrink, or a cover appropriate to the circuit voltage and location.
3) Can I use a copper compression splice like the PC 2-6533 on aluminum conductors?
No. This one is a copper-only splice, tin-plated for corrosion resistance on copper runs. Aluminum or mixed copper-to-aluminum connections need a connector rated AL9CU or equivalent dual-rated hardware; putting aluminum into a copper-only barrel risks a bad, corroding joint.
4) How long is the Blackburn PC 2-6533 splice barrel, and will it fit inside a standard box or splice enclosure?
Overall length is 2.625 inches. That is the dimension to check against your box or handhole depth, and remember the finished joint will be longer once it is taped or heat-shrunk over the ends.
5) Is the PC 2-6533 a crimp connector or a set-screw connector?
Compression. It is installed with a hydraulic or mechanical crimp tool and the correct die for the connector, not with a hex key. There is no set screw to re-torque, which is why compression is commonly specified for buried, grounding, and vibration-prone connections.
6) Why is the Blackburn copper splice tin-plated instead of bare copper?
The tin plating on the PC 2-6533 protects the barrel surface from oxidation and corrosion, which matters in damp locations, direct burial, and outdoor gear where bare copper would tarnish at the crimp interface.
7) Is the Blackburn PC 2-6533 sold individually or in a bag?
It is sold each, so quantity ordered equals the number of splices you receive. Plan one per conductor joint; a three-conductor feeder splice needs three.
8) Is the Blackburn PC 2-6533 made in the USA? I have a domestic-content requirement on the job.
Country of origin on the PC 2-6533 is the United States. That is the figure to cite on a domestic-preference submittal for this line item.
