Burndy BIPC3501/0SC Mechanical Insulation Piercing Connector

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.
