Blackburn PRS40N – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does the Blackburn PRS40N pigtail compression sleeve actually do?
The PRS40N is a wire or cable compression reducer. An aluminum sleeve crimps onto the large conductor and a pre-attached copper pigtail comes out the other end, giving you a smaller, tin-plated copper tail to land on a lug, terminal or connector that will not accept the full-size cable. It handles one conductor per sleeve.
2) What size pigtail comes on the Blackburn PRS40N, and how long is the sleeve?
The pigtail measures 5/8 by 8 inches and the aluminum sleeve itself is 5-1/2 inches long. Allow for both when you are laying out the termination inside a box, elbow or cabinet, since total installed length runs well past a foot.
3) Do I need a crimp tool for the PRS40N, or can it be installed with set screws?
Compression only. The PRS40N is a compression connection, so it has to be die-crimped with a hydraulic or battery compression tool. There are no set screws and no mechanical alternative on this part. If you want a tool-light termination, you want a mechanical set-screw reducer instead.
4) Is the Blackburn PRS40N a bimetallic aluminum-to-copper transition?
Yes, and that is the point of it. The barrel is aluminum for crimping onto aluminum conductor, and the factory-attached pigtail is copper with a tin plating on it. That plating is what lets the copper tail land on other copper or plated hardware without a bare dissimilar-metal contact.
5) Is the PRS40N sold individually or in a bag?
Sold each. One sleeve with its pigtail per unit, so order one per conductor you are terminating. A three-phase splice needs three.
6) What is the manufacturer part number for this Blackburn pigtail sleeve, and where is it made?
Order it as Blackburn PRS40N. It is manufactured in Mexico.
