Ideal Industries 20U – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does the Ideal 20U breakaway streetlight connector actually do in a vehicle strike?
The 20U is built to come apart under impact instead of tearing the conductors. When a pole gets hit, the connector separates at the joint and leaves the wire intact, so restoration is a matter of reconnecting rather than pulling and splicing new cable. That is the whole point of a breakaway connector in a pole base.
2) Is the Ideal 20U fused or non-fused, and which conductor is it for?
Non-fused, in-line, and it is the neutral connector. If you need overcurrent protection on the hot leg in the pole base, the 20U does not provide it, you would pair it with a fused breakaway on the line side. Order the 20U for the neutral run.
3) What tools does a crew need to install an Ideal 20U streetlight connector in the field?
Knife, wire stripper, hex tool and crimp tool. Nothing proprietary, nothing that has to come off the truck special. Ideal rates the install at five minutes or less per connector, which matters when you are working a lane closure or a bucket lift on a live roadway.
4) Will the connection loosen over seasonal temperature swings in an outdoor pole base?
The 20U uses spring loaded contacts specifically to take up thermal expansion and contraction, so the contact pressure stays on the conductor as the metal moves through hot and cold cycles. That is the failure mode a plain compression splice tends to develop in an unheated pole base.
5) Where is a breakaway connector like the Ideal 20U typically required or used?
Municipal streetlight systems, highway and roadway lighting, parking lot and commercial outdoor lighting, traffic safety lighting, and public infrastructure work. Anywhere a lighting pole sits close enough to traffic that a strike is a realistic event, agencies specify breakaway connectors in the handhole so the pole can shear without damaging the feeder.
6) Is the Ideal 20U sold as a complete kit or do I buy the halves separately?
It ships as a kit under a single part number, 20U, with one model offered. You are ordering the connector assembly, not a line half and a load half billed separately.
