Blackburn PCS71 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does the Blackburn PCS71 pigtail compression sleeve actually do?
The PCS71 is a compression pin terminal that adapts a larger conductor down to a smaller one. It is a wire or cable compression reducer: an aluminum sleeve with a pre-attached copper pigtail, so you crimp the sleeve onto the run conductor and land the smaller tinplated copper pigtail where the bigger cable will not fit, such as an undersized lug, breaker terminal or transformer pad.
2) What voltage can the Blackburn PCS71 pin terminal be used at?
It carries a 35 kV rating, so it is suitable for medium voltage work as well as ordinary low voltage terminations. Note there is no insulation on the part itself, so the insulating and jacketing at the splice point is up to your tape, tubing or molded cover.
3) Is the Blackburn PCS71 good for an aluminum to copper transition?
That is exactly what it is built for. The barrel is aluminum and crimps onto the run conductor, and the pre-attached pigtail is tinplated copper, so it gives you a factory-made aluminum-to-copper transition rather than putting dissimilar metals together in the field.
4) Can I install the Blackburn PCS71 with a mechanical set screw connector or do I need a crimper?
Crimp only. The PCS71 is a compression connector, so it needs a hydraulic or battery compression tool with the correct die for the sleeve. There is no set screw and no mechanical alternative on this part.
5) Does the PCS71 pin terminal come in a pack or is it sold individually?
Sold each, one connector per unit. Order the count you need for the job rather than a bag quantity.
6) Where is the Blackburn PCS71 made?
Country of origin is Mexico, which is worth noting if your project carries a domestic sourcing requirement on electrical material.
