Burndy AMS250 Tin-Plated Aluminum Set-Screw Splice/Reducer, 250 kcmil-6 AWG, Dual-Rated Al/Cu
The Burndy AMS250 is a tin-plated aluminum set-screw splice/reducer built for dual-rated Al/Cu conductor connections from 6 AWG up to 250 kcmil. It accepts 6 AWG-4/0 AWG stranded aluminum conductors, 6 AWG-250 kcmil stranded copper conductors, and 4 AWG-4/0 AWG solid copper conductors, secured by 4 set screws. A solid center barrier keeps aluminum and copper conductors separated to prevent contact between dissimilar metals. The AMS250 is UL Listed to UL467 and CSA Certified for commercial and industrial electrical installations.
Key Features
- Wide Conductor Range: Accepts 6 AWG-4/0 AWG stranded aluminum, 6 AWG-250 kcmil stranded copper, and 4 AWG-4/0 AWG solid copper conductors in a single dual-rated splice/reducer.
- Aluminum Construction: Tin-plated aluminum body resists corrosion for reliable long-term electrical connections.
- 4-Screw Set-Screw Design: Four 5/8" set screws with a 5/16" hex size secure conductors at a specified installation torque of 50 in-lb.
- Dual-Rated Al/Cu: Rated for both aluminum and copper conductors, with a solid center barrier that prevents direct contact between dissimilar metals.
- Splice/Reducer Configuration: Functions as an in-line splice and a conductor reducer for mixed conductor sizing.
- Tin-Plated Finish: Tin plating adds corrosion resistance at the connection point.
