Blackburn PCS766 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is a Blackburn PCS766 pigtail compression sleeve used for?
The PCS766 is a compression reducer for wire or cable: an aluminum sleeve with a pre-attached copper pigtail, so you can crimp it onto a 1/0 conductor and land the smaller tinplated copper pigtail lead where the full conductor won't fit. Rated 35 kV, which puts it in medium-voltage cable work rather than building branch circuits.
2) How long is the pigtail on the PCS766 and how long is the sleeve barrel?
Pigtail length is 5-3/4 inches and the sleeve itself is 2 inches long. Measure your termination pocket or splice enclosure against those two numbers before you crimp, since the 5-3/4 inch lead is what has to reach the lug or connector.
3) Does the PCS766 come insulated, or do I have to insulate the crimp myself?
No insulation is supplied. The PCS766 is a bare compression sleeve, so the splice or termination has to be insulated in the field with tape, a cold shrink, or heat shrink appropriate to the 35 kV application.
4) Is the Blackburn PCS766 rated for medium voltage cable terminations?
Voltage rating on the PCS766 is 35 kV, so it is intended for medium-voltage cable work. For 600 V building wire you would normally use a standard reducer or compression lug instead.
5) Will the PCS766 work on copper conductor, or aluminum only?
The sleeve body is aluminum with a copper pigtail attached, and the pigtail is tinplated. Tin plating is what allows a copper lead to be joined to aluminum hardware without a direct dissimilar-metal contact, so the assembly is suited to aluminum-to-copper transitions on 1/0 cable.
6) Do I need a special crimp tool for the Blackburn PCS766?
It's a compression connection, so it has to be crimped with a hydraulic or mechanical compression tool and the die matched to the sleeve; it is not a mechanical set-screw or bolted lug you can tighten with a wrench.
7) Is the PCS766 sold individually or in a bag of multiples?
Selling unit is each, so ordering quantity 1 gets you one sleeve with its pigtail. Count your terminations and order accordingly rather than assuming a multi-pack.
8) What is the exact manufacturer part number and where is the PCS766 made?
Manufacturer part number is PCS766, from Blackburn, made in Mexico. That MPN is what to quote when matching a spec or reordering to the same detail on a project.
