Blackburn PTF 1000-6 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What conductor size does the Blackburn PTF 1000-6 pin terminal take?
The Blackburn PTF 1000-6 is sized for 1000 kcmil conductor. It is a compression pin terminal, so the barrel is crimped onto the cable with a die-set compression tool rather than bolted or set-screwed. One terminal per conductor, sold each.
2) Can I use an aluminum pin terminal on copper cable?
The PTF 1000-6 body is aluminum, which means it is intended for aluminum conductor. Crimping aluminum onto copper cable is not the right pairing; for 1000 kcmil copper you want a copper compression pin terminal instead. The pin itself is tin-plated, so the pin end can land in an aluminum or copper-rated lug or breaker terminal.
3) Why would I put a pin terminal on a 1000 kcmil cable instead of a lug?
A pin terminal converts a large stranded cable into a solid round pin so it can be landed in a set-screw or mechanical lug that is too small to accept 1000 kcmil strand, which is the usual case on breakers, switches, and panelboard terminals. If the equipment has a bolted pad instead, a compression lug with NEMA bolt holes is the part you want, not a pin.
4) How long is the pin on the Blackburn PTF 1000-6?
Six inches of pin. That length lets you cut the pin down to whatever depth the equipment terminal needs, which is why the long-pin version gets ordered for deep or stacked terminations. Order the shorter pin length if you do not want to field-trim.
5) Is the PTF 1000-6 insulated, and do I need to tape or boot the connection?
No insulation on it. The body is bare aluminum with a tin-plated pin, so the completed termination has to be insulated in the field with tape, heat shrink, or a cover sized to the barrel if the application calls for it.
