Blackburn PC 500-6533 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What conductor sizes does the Blackburn PC 500-6533 copper splice accept?
The PC 500-6533 is sized for copper conductors from 4/0 AWG through 500 kcmil. Both ends take the same range, so it is used to splice like-size cable end to end within that window. Anything smaller than 4/0 or larger than 500 kcmil needs a different splice size.
2) Can I use this Blackburn splice on aluminum cable?
No. The PC 500-6533 is a copper splice, intended for copper conductors only. For aluminum or for a copper-to-aluminum transition you need a connector rated AL9CU or an aluminum-bodied splice, not this one.
3) Does the PC 500-6533 splice need a crimp tool, or can it be tightened with a wrench?
It is a compression splice, so it is installed with a hydraulic or battery crimp tool and the correct die, not with set screws. Plan on having the tool, dies, and your insulating tape or heat shrink on hand, since the barrel ships bare with no cover included.
4) What is the exact part number to order for a 4/0 to 500 kcmil copper compression splice from Blackburn?
Order Blackburn PC 500-6533. That is the manufacturer part number for the copper compression splice covering 4/0 AWG through 500 kcmil, and it is the number to quote so you get the right barrel size rather than an adjacent one in the PC series.
5) Will a compression splice like this work where I need to be able to take the connection apart later?
No. Once the PC 500-6533 is crimped onto the conductors the joint is permanent and has to be cut out to be removed. If the connection needs to be opened for testing or future re-termination, use a mechanical set-screw connector or a bolted two-hole lug pair instead, and keep the compression splice for buried, in-wall, or pull-box runs you never intend to open.
6) Is the Blackburn PC 500-6533 sold individually or in a box?
The splice is an individual piece; the next packaging level up holds 50 pieces, which is how it comes for crews standardizing on one cable size across a job. Net weight of a single splice is about 1 lb (453.5 g).
