Blackburn PRS30N – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the Blackburn PRS30N pigtail compression sleeve used for?
The PRS30N is a compression pin terminal for 266 conductor, used as a wire or cable compression reducer. You crimp the aluminum sleeve onto the larger cable and land the smaller pre-attached copper pigtail where the termination or lug only accepts a smaller conductor. Connection is compression, not mechanical set screw.
2) How long is the pigtail on the Blackburn PRS30N and how long is the barrel?
The copper pigtail measures 1/2 x 8 inches, and the aluminum sleeve itself is 5 inches long. Allow for both when you figure your cable strip length and the space inside the enclosure or splice box, since the assembled part runs well past a foot end to end.
3) Is the Blackburn PRS30N pigtail copper or aluminum, and can I land it on a copper lug?
Both. The barrel that crimps to the cable is aluminum, and the pigtail coming out of it is copper with a tin plating. The tinplated copper tail is what lands in the equipment, which is why this part is used to transition aluminum cable into a copper-rated termination.
4) Does the PRS30N come as a pair or do I buy them one at a time?
It sells each, so order one per conductor you are terminating. On a two conductor run that is two pieces.
5) Do I need a crimp tool for the Blackburn PRS30N, or can it be installed with a wrench?
It is a compression connector, so it needs a hydraulic or battery crimper with the correct die for the barrel. There are no set screws and nothing to torque with a wrench. The connector also ships without insulation, so plan on tape, mastic, or shrink tubing to rebuild the covering after the crimp.
