Burndy KSU17 Split Bolt Connector with Spacer

Burndy KSU17 Split Bolt Connector with Spacer, Tin-Plated Copper Alloy

The Burndy KSU17 is a high-strength, tin-plated copper alloy split bolt connector built with an integrated spacer for 8AWG conductor connections. As part of Burndy's SERVIT line of mechanical connectors, the KSU17 uses its spacer to keep dissimilar conductors separated while extending the contact length along the splice, resulting in a more secure and stable mechanical connection. The tin-plated copper alloy body is engineered to hold up under installation torque while maintaining reliable conductivity at the connection point. This split bolt connector is designed for electricians who need a dependable mechanical splice for 8AWG conductors in commercial, industrial, and utility wiring work.

Key Features

• Conductor Range: Engineered for 8AWG conductors, providing a properly sized fit for a secure mechanical splice.
• High-Strength Copper Alloy Construction: The copper alloy body is built to withstand installation torque and long-term mechanical stress without deforming.
• Integrated Spacer: The spacer separates dissimilar conductors within the connector and increases the contact length along the splice for a stronger, more stable connection.
• Tin-Plated Finish: Tin plating helps protect the copper alloy surface from corrosion and supports consistent conductivity at the connection point over time.
• Mechanical Split Bolt Design: A bolt-and-nut split design allows the connector to be installed and tightened with standard tools, without the need for soldering or specialty crimping equipment.
• SERVIT Series Connector: Part of Burndy's SERVIT family of copper alloy mechanical connectors used for splicing and tapping applications.
