Burndy YS3CLBOX Compression Splice, 3 AWG Copper, Standard Barrel, Tin-Plated
The Burndy YS3CLBOX is a compression splice built for 3 AWG copper conductors, joining two same-size conductors with a standard barrel and internal chamfer for smooth wire entry. Part of Burndy's HYLINK™ compression line, it features a tin-plated finish, a 9 die index, and a WHITE color code for quick tooling match. Rated 90°C and UL/CSA listed for use up to 35kV, it is sized for limited-space applications.
Key Features
- Conductor Size: Sized for 3 AWG copper conductors with a standard barrel and internal chamfer.
- Copper Construction: Copper body provides reliable electrical conductivity at the splice.
- Compression Termination: Chamfered barrel with a 9 die index for correct crimp tooling.

Burndy YS3CLBOX – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Which die index do I set my crimper to for the Burndy YS3CLBOX splice?
Die index 9, color coded white. Burndy's HYLINK compression splices match the die number to the color code, so set your crimp tool head to the 9 die and you have the right crimp for this barrel. Wrong die index is the most common cause of a failed compression joint on medium-voltage copper.
2) What wire does the YS3CLBOX compression splice actually take, and can I join two different sizes with it?
It is sized for 3 AWG stranded copper on both ends, so it joins two same-size 3 AWG copper conductors. It is not a reducing splice and it is not rated for aluminum, the body is copper. For 500 kcmil or 750 kcmil copper, Burndy's YS34L and YS39L are the same YS-L family in those sizes.
3) How much insulation do I strip back before crimping this Burndy splice?
Strip 15/16 inch off each conductor. That matches the 7/8 inch B length, the depth each conductor seats to inside the barrel, with the internal chamfer guiding the strands in. Overall barrel length is 2.05 inches (52 mm).
4) Will a 3 AWG compression splice fit inside a splice box or conduit body with limited room?
That is what this one is built for. The YS3CLBOX measures 2.05 inches long with a 0.38 inch outside diameter, and Burndy classes it for limited-space applications, so it fits where a longer barrel or a bolted connector will not. Allow for tape or heat-shrink build-up over the 0.38 inch OD when you figure your available space.
5) Is the Burndy YS3CLBOX splice UL listed and good for medium-voltage cable?
UL Listed and CSA Approved, built to UL486A-486B, with a voltage rating from 600V minimum up to 35 kV. That covers medium-voltage distribution splices as well as ordinary 600V commercial and industrial copper joints. Note it is UL Listed rather than UL Recognized, and it is not cULus or ETL marked.
6) Does the tin plating on this copper splice matter for a damp or underground pull box?
It does. The barrel is copper with an electro-plated tin finish, which slows corrosion on the outside of the joint and at the conductor interface, so the connection stays stable in wet pull boxes and underground splice locations where bare copper would oxidize.
7) Can I use this splice on Navy-spec stranded copper cable?
Yes, the Burndy YS3CLBOX also covers 50 (19) Navy stranded copper in addition to standard 3 AWG stranded copper, so shipboard and Navy-spec cable schedules can use the same barrel and the same die 9 crimp.
8) Do I have to buy Burndy YS-L splices by the box or can I order singles?
Minimum pack quantity is 1, so you can order a single splice for a repair rather than a full carton. For crews standardizing a job, the same YS-L family covers 500 kcmil (YS34L) and 750 kcmil (YS39L) copper alongside the 3 AWG YS3CLBOX.
9) Where do I get the manufacturer spec sheet for the Burndy YS3CLBOX?
Burndy publishes a spec sheet for the YS3CLBOX at https://hubbellcdn.com/specsheet/BRDY-YS3CLBOX-SPEC-EN.pdf. Useful if a submittal package needs the manufacturer's own document for the 35 kV rating and die 9 tooling call-out.
