Blackburn PKL365-1 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does the Blackburn PKL365-1 pigtail sleeve actually do on a cable termination?
The PKL365-1 is a pigtail compression sleeve, described in Blackburn's data as a wire or cable compression reducer. You crimp the aluminum sleeve onto 1/0 conductor, and the pre-attached tin plated copper pigtail becomes the reduced-size lead you land on a terminal, lug, or smaller connector. It lets a larger aluminum conductor terminate where only a small copper tail will fit.
2) What conductor size does the Blackburn PKL365-1 take?
It's sized for 1/0 conductor, and the sleeve barrel is 3-1/2 inches long. The compression barrel is what has to match your cable, so a 1/0 termination is the only one this pin terminal is intended for.
3) Is the Blackburn PKL365-1 rated for medium voltage cable?
Yes, it carries a 35 kV voltage rating, so it is usable on medium voltage terminations up to that class. Note that it is supplied uninsulated, with no insulation material on the sleeve, so the insulating and shielding system around the termination is entirely on the kit or tape you install over it.
4) Does the PKL365-1 need a compression tool, or can it be tightened with a set screw?
Compression only. The connection type is compression, meaning it has to be crimped with the correct die for the barrel; there is no mechanical set screw option on this part. If your crew only carries a wrench, you want a set screw style reducer instead.
5) Can I use the Blackburn PKL365-1 to join aluminum cable to a copper terminal?
That is the point of it. The sleeve body is aluminum and the factory-attached pigtail is tin plated copper, so the aluminum-to-copper transition is made in the factory rather than in your enclosure. The tin plating on the copper tail is what lets it land on copper or plated hardware without a bare bimetallic joint.
6) How long is the copper pigtail on the PKL365-1 and what diameter is it?
The pigtail measures 23/64 by 6-1/4 inches, which is the .366 x 6.25 called out in the part description. That 6-1/4 inch length is what you have to work with for reaching the terminal point, so check your termination enclosure has that much room before you pull the crimp.
7) How is the PKL365-1 pin terminal sold, individually or in bags?
Each. The selling unit of measure on the PKL365-1 is a single piece, so quantity ordered equals pieces received. Plan one per conductor terminated.
8) Where is the Blackburn PKL365-1 made?
Manufactured in Mexico. Institutional and government buyers working to domestic-content requirements should treat this as an imported item when they document the submittal.
