Blackburn PCS64 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does the Blackburn PCS64 pigtail compression sleeve actually do?
The PCS64 is a wire or cable compression reducer. It is an aluminum sleeve with a pre-attached copper pigtail, so you crimp the sleeve onto a larger conductor and land the smaller tinplated copper pigtail where the termination or lug is sized down. Connection is made by compression, not by a set screw.
2) What voltage can the Blackburn PCS64 pin terminal be used on?
It carries a 35 kV rating, which covers medium voltage distribution work as well as anything below it. Note the sleeve itself is uninsulated, so the insulation or terminating system around it has to supply the dielectric.
3) Does the PCS64 come insulated, or do I need to cover it after crimping?
There is no insulation on the PCS64 - it ships bare. You have to reinsulate the crimp yourself with the tape, tubing, or cold shrink your termination method calls for.
4) Can I tighten the PCS64 down with a set screw instead of a crimp tool?
No. It is a compression-only fitting, so it needs a proper crimp tool and die to make up the connection on the aluminum sleeve. There is no mechanical set screw option on this part.
5) Will the aluminum body of the PCS64 cause a dissimilar metal problem where it lands?
The crimp end is aluminum, but the pigtail you actually terminate is copper with a tin plating, so the connection at the lug is a tinned copper surface. The aluminum-to-copper transition is made inside the factory-attached sleeve assembly rather than at your termination.
6) Is the Blackburn PCS64 sold individually or in a box?
It sells each, one sleeve per unit, so order the exact count of terminations you need rather than a bagged quantity.
7) Where is the Blackburn PCS64 made, and what do I order it by?
Order it by manufacturer part number PCS64 from Blackburn. It is manufactured in Mexico.
