Blackburn SAC 2 TN – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the Blackburn SAC 2 TN splice rated for aluminum conductors, or copper only?
The SAC 2 TN is an aluminum compression splice with a tin-plated finish, and it meets ANSI C119.4, the standard covering connectors for aluminum and copper conductors. The tin plating is what lets a tin-plated aluminum body be used on copper as well as aluminum without the dissimilar-metal problem you get with a bare aluminum barrel.
2) Does the SAC 2 TN splice come insulated, or do I need to tape or heat shrink it?
It ships bare. Insulation material is listed as none, so the barrel is uninsulated and you supply the cover yourself, typically tape, heat shrink, or a molded insulating cover sized to the 3 inch barrel length.
3) Is this a set screw or mechanical connector, or does it need a crimp tool?
Compression only. The SAC 2 TN has no set screws, so installation requires a hydraulic or battery compression tool with the correct die for the barrel. If you want a tool-free field connection, use a set screw or mechanical splice instead.
4) How many conductors does the Blackburn SAC 2 TN splice join?
Two. It is a straight two-conductor butt splice, one cable in each end of the barrel, compressed with a die-type crimp tool. It is not a tap or a multi-port connector, so if you need to land a branch off a run you want a tap connector instead.
5) How long is the Blackburn SAC 2 TN splice barrel, and how much room do I need in the box or enclosure?
The barrel is 3 inches long, so allow at least that plus your bend radius and insulating cover inside the enclosure or handhole. With two crimps per splice, plan the conductor strip lengths against a 3 inch body.
6) Is the Blackburn SAC 2 TN made in the USA for a Buy American job?
Country of origin is the United States. For federally funded or Buy American specified work, that is the documentation point most procurement officers ask for on a connector submittal.
7) Is the Blackburn SAC 2 TN sold individually or in a bag?
Sold each. One splice per selling unit, so order the quantity to match your splice count rather than assuming a bagged pack of ten or twenty.
8) What is the correct part number to specify for the Blackburn tin-plated aluminum compression splice?
Order it as Blackburn SAC 2 TN. The TN suffix denotes the tin plating on the aluminum body.
