Burndy YS39 Long Barrel Copper Compression Splice, 750 kcmil

The Burndy YS39 Long Barrel Copper Compression Splice is engineered to join 750 kcmil copper conductors in heavy-duty, high-voltage electrical systems. Featuring a long barrel design with an internal chamfer for smooth conductor entry, this tin-plated compression splice is rated 90°C and suitable for use at voltages up to 35kV. Backed by UL and CSA listings and a black color code with 24 Die Index for correct tooling, the YS39 delivers a secure, code-compliant connection for demanding power distribution applications.

Key Features

  • Conductor Size: Sized for 750 kcmil copper conductors, ensuring a precise compression fit.
  • Long Barrel with Internal Chamfer: The extended barrel and internal chamfer allow smooth, controlled conductor insertion and full conductor engagement.
  • Tin-Plated Copper Construction: Copper body with a tin (electro-plated) finish improves corrosion resistance and long-term conductivity.
  • Compression Termination: Installs using a compression (crimp) method for a permanent, low-resistance connection.
  • High-Voltage Rating: Rated for use up to 35kV, with a minimum voltage rating of 600V, suited to heavy-duty, higher-voltage applications.
  • 90°C Temperature Rating: Maintains reliable performance in demanding thermal conditions.
  • Black Color Code, 24 Die Index: Color-coded and die-indexed for fast, accurate identification and correct crimp-tool die selection.
  • Dimensions: Overall length of 6.38 in (162 mm), with a 2-7/8 in strip length and 2.81 in B length.

Burndy YS2C – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can I use a Burndy YS copper splice on aluminum cable?
No. The YS series body is copper with an electro-plated tin finish, and it is specified for copper conductors. Tin plating is there for corrosion resistance and conductivity on copper, not to make the splice dual rated. For aluminum or aluminum-to-copper work you need a connector specifically rated AL9CU or aluminum-only.
2) Is the Burndy YS39 splice rated for medium voltage cable at 35kV?
Yes. The YS long barrel splice carries a 35 kV rating (35,000 V maximum) with a 600 V minimum rating, which puts it in play for substation, underground and utility distribution splices as well as ordinary 600 V building feeders. It is UL Listed and CSA approved.
3) How much cable do I strip for a Burndy YS39 750 kcmil splice?
Strip length on the YS39 is 2-7/8 inches per conductor end. The splice measures 6.38 inches (162 mm) overall with a 2.81 inch B length, so allow for that full run plus your re-insulation when you lay out the splice window in the raceway or handhole.
4) What crimp die do I need for the Burndy YS39?
The YS39 is black color coded with a 24 die index, so set your hydraulic compression tool with the matching 24 die. The die index is stamped on the connector, match it and follow the number of crimps called for. The splice installs by compression only, it is not a mechanical set screw connector.
5) Why choose a long barrel splice instead of a standard barrel one?
The long barrel gives you more contact length per conductor, which means more crimps and a lower resistance, higher pull-out joint. That is what you want on heavy feeders and medium voltage cable. The barrel is also internally chamfered so the conductor feeds in without birdcaging the strands. On a short lug or standard splice you get fewer crimps and less engagement, which is fine for light branch work but not for 750 kcmil under load.
6) Will a Burndy YS splice hold up at 90 degrees C on a fully loaded feeder?
The YS splice is rated 90 degrees C, so it matches the conductor temperature rating of THHN/THWN-2 and most medium voltage cable insulation. Tin plating on the copper body helps in damp or corrosive environments such as underground vaults and handholes.
7) Does the Burndy YS splice meet the standards an inspector will ask about?
It is UL Listed, CSA approved, and built to UL468A-468B industry standards for compression connectors. That is the documentation a facility or utility inspector normally wants on a permanent splice. RoHS compliance status is recorded as CM.
8) Are Burndy YS splices sold individually or only in boxes?
Minimum pack quantity is 1, so you can buy a single splice rather than a full box. Useful when you need one YS32 for a 400 kcmil repair and nothing else.
