It's a compression splice reducer for wire or cable, meaning it joins two conductors of different sizes in one crimped connection instead of requiring an adapter plus a straight splice. There is no insulation on the body, so the joint has to be insulated in the field with tape, heat shrink, or a cold shrink kit after crimping.

Crimped. The connection type is compression, so it installs with a hydraulic or battery crimp tool and the correct die set, not with set screws or bolts. If you need a connector that can be installed with hand tools and later taken apart, a mechanical set screw splice is the better choice.

It is built to ANSI C119.4, the standard covering connectors for use between aluminum and aluminum, aluminum and copper, or copper and copper conductors. That is the reference most utility and industrial specs call out for compression splices, so it can be cited directly on a submittal.

The barrel is tin plated, which is the plating used to keep a dissimilar-metal joint from galvanic corrosion, so tin plated compression connectors are the standard choice for aluminum-to-copper and aluminum-to-aluminum work as well as copper-to-copper. Match the conductor sizes stamped on the connector to the two cables you are joining before you crimp.

You cover it yourself. Insulation material is listed as none, so the reducer ships as a bare metal barrel. Plan on heat shrink, cold shrink tubing, or a taped buildup rated for the circuit voltage as a separate line item on the order.

Country of origin on the SAC 1000 CPTR 600 TN is the United States, which is what public agency and federally funded projects ask for on domestic content documentation.

Order it by the Blackburn manufacturer part number SAC 1000 CPTR 600 TN. The TN suffix identifies the tin plated version, so keep it on the PO if your spec calls for plated connectors.

Individually. The selling unit of measure is each, so quantity one is one reducer. For a splice crew doing multiple terminations, order one per joint plus spares, since a miscrimped compression barrel cannot be reused.
