Blackburn PKL56-1 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does the Blackburn PKL56-1 pigtail compression sleeve actually do?
It is a wire or cable compression reducer: an aluminum sleeve with a pre-attached copper pigtail. You crimp the sleeve onto the larger conductor, and the smaller tinplated copper pigtail becomes the lead you terminate into equipment or a connector that will not take the full-size cable. It is compression only, not a mechanical set-screw fitting.
2) Is the PKL56-1 rated for medium voltage work?
Rated 35 kV, so it is suitable for medium-voltage cable terminations up to that class. It ships with no insulation on the sleeve, so the joint has to be insulated or covered as part of the termination.
3) Does the Blackburn PKL56-1 come insulated, or do I need to cover it after crimping?
No insulation is supplied. The sleeve and pigtail are bare metal, so you provide your own tape, heat shrink or cold shrink to insulate the crimp to the voltage class of the circuit.
4) Will an aluminum sleeve with a copper pigtail cause a dissimilar metal problem?
The transition is built into the part rather than made in your box. The barrel is aluminum for the incoming conductor and the pigtail is copper with a tin plating, which is the standard way to move from aluminum cable to a copper-only terminal without creating a bare aluminum-to-copper contact at the lug.
5) Is the PKL56-1 sold individually or in a bag?
Sold each, one sleeve per unit. Order one per conductor you are reducing, so a two-conductor termination takes two pieces.
6) What part number and manufacturer should I put on the purchase order for this Blackburn pigtail sleeve?
Blackburn PKL56-1 is the manufacturer part number, described as a compression pin terminal, 3/0 pigtail, .366 x 6. It is manufactured in Mexico.
