Burndy BIPC3501/0SC Mechanical Insulation Piercing Connector, Cu/Al, Run/Tap 1/0-350

The Burndy BIPC3501/0SC is a mechanical insulation piercing connector engineered for splicing, tapping, and dead-ending copper and aluminum (Cu/Al) conductors without fully stripping insulation at the connection point. This connector accommodates a Run range of 1/0-350 and a Tap range of 1/0-350, giving electrical contractors a single component that covers a wide span of conductor size combinations on a single job. Because it is rated for both copper and aluminum conductors, the BIPC3501/0SC can be used to join dissimilar conductor types in the same connection, which helps reduce the number of separate connector styles a crew needs to stock. The insulation-piercing design speeds installation while maintaining a secure, mechanical connection between matching or dissimilar conductor sizes, whether the application calls for a splice, a tap, or a dead-end termination.

Key Features

  • Conductor Range: Accommodates a Run of 1/0-350 and a Tap of 1/0-350, covering a broad span of conductor size combinations in a single connector body.
  • Dual Material Rating: Rated for Cu/Al (copper and aluminum) conductors, giving installers flexibility when splicing dissimilar conductor types on the same run.
  • Insulation Piercing Design: Mechanical piercing connector body engineered to splice, tap, and dead-end conductors without fully stripping insulation at the connection point, helping cut installation time.
  • Multi-Purpose Application: Suitable for splicing, tapping, and dead-ending applications, consolidating multiple connection tasks into a single connector rather than requiring separate parts for each function.
  • Mechanical Connector Construction: Mechanical Insulation Piercing Connector construction provides a secure termination point for Cu/Al conductor runs and taps alike, supporting the full 1/0-350 range on both the run and tap conductor.
  • Wide Run/Tap Compatibility: The matching 1/0-350 Run and Tap ranges mean the connector can pair conductors of equal or different sizes within that span in a single fitting.

Burndy BIPC4/010S – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can the Burndy BIPC3501/0SC connect a copper conductor to an aluminum one?
Yes. The BIPC3501/0SC is rated Cu/Al, so copper and aluminum conductors can be joined in the same connection. That is what lets one connector handle a copper tap off an aluminum feeder without adding a separate bimetallic fitting.
2) What conductor sizes does the Burndy BIPC3501/0SC accept on the run and the tap?
Both sides cover 1/0 through 350. Because the run and tap ranges match, the connector can pair equal-size conductors or two different sizes anywhere within that 1/0-350 span, so a 350 feeder with a 1/0 tap works in the same body.
3) Do I have to strip the cable insulation to install a Burndy BIPC insulation piercing connector?
No full strip is needed. The piercing design cuts through the insulation to make the mechanical contact at the connection point, which is the main reason crews use these instead of a stripped mechanical tap or a compression splice.
4) I need to tap a 500 kcmil feeder with a small conductor. Is the BIPC3501/0SC the right part?
No. Its run tops out at 350. For a 500 run, look to the BIPC5001/0S (500 run with a 1/0 tap) or the BIPC5004SC (500 run with a #4 tap), depending on the tap size you are landing.
5) Can one insulation piercing connector be used for a splice, a tap, and a dead-end?
The Burndy BIPC line is built for all three. The same body handles a straight splice, a tap off a run, and a dead-end termination, so an electrical contractor stocks one part instead of three connector styles for the same conductor range.
6) Which Burndy BIPC models are available besides the BIPC3501/0SC?
Seven BIPC models are offered: BIPC1/010SC, BIPC1/08SC, BIPC2504SC, BIPC3501/0SC, BIPC4/010S, BIPC5001/0S, BIPC5004SC. The number pairs describe the run and tap ranges, so pick by the two conductor sizes you are actually joining rather than by the largest number.
7) Is a mechanical piercing connector or a compression connector better for a feeder tap?
A mechanical piercing connector like the BIPC series is tightened with hand tools and pierces the insulation, so no crimp die, no hydraulic tool, and no full strip. A compression connector needs the conductor stripped and a matched die set. Use the piercing type where you want speed on an in-place insulated run; use compression where the spec calls out a crimped termination.
8) Where can I get the full spec sheet for the Burndy BIPC3501/0SC?
Burndy publishes a spec sheet for the BIPC3501/0SC at hubbellcdn.com/specsheet/BRDY-BIPC35010SC-SPEC-EN.pdf. That is where the torque values and detailed dimensions for the connector live.
