Ideal Industries 2006S – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What wire sizes does the Ideal 2006S copper crimp connector take?
The Ideal 2006S copper crimp sleeve covers 18 through 10 AWG, so it handles everything from small control and fixture wire up through 10 AWG branch circuit conductors. One part number covers that whole range, which is why it works as a general splice sleeve on a truck or in a panel shop rather than stocking a separate sleeve per gauge.
2) Is the Ideal 2006S crimp connector insulated, or do I have to cover it myself?
It is a bare solid copper sleeve, not an insulated butt splice. After crimping you insulate it yourself, with heat shrink or tape as the installation and local code require. Plan that step into the job; if you want the insulation built into the connector, you want an insulated butt splice instead of a bare copper sleeve.
3) Can I crimp these copper sleeves with pliers, or do I need a proper crimp tool?
A crimping tool rated for copper crimp sleeves in the gauge you are working is required. Pliers will not produce the pressure connection this sleeve depends on. The solid copper construction does take less crimping pressure than plated alternatives, but the connection is still a mechanical pressure joint: full conductor insertion, a proper tool crimp, then a tug test to confirm the bond.
4) Are Ideal 2006S copper crimp connectors UL Listed for a permitted splice in a commercial job?
UL 486S Listed and CSA C22.2 No. 188 certified, and they also meet Federal Specification W-S-61D. That combination is what an institutional or government spec usually calls for on a pressure-type wire connector, and the CSA certification means the same part number works on Canadian jobs without a second SKU.
5) Can I splice two different wire gauges together with one of these copper sleeves?
Both conductors have to fall inside the 18 to 10 AWG range the sleeve is rated for, and both have to seat fully in the sleeve so the crimp bears on copper along the whole barrel. Mixing gauges inside that range is what the range is for, but a conductor that does not fill the barrel will not hold a pressure connection. Strip clean, insert fully, crimp, then tug.
6) Will a bare copper crimp sleeve hold up in a damp or corrosive location?
The sleeve is solid copper rather than plated, which is what gives it its corrosion resistance, and Ideal rates the construction for harsh environmental conditions where moisture can compromise a connection. The joint still has to be insulated and protected after crimping, and the enclosure or method has to suit the location per code.
7) Is a copper crimp sleeve a substitute for a wire nut on a branch circuit splice?
They solve the same problem differently. A twist-on wire connector is removable and reusable; the 2006S is a pressure crimp that makes a permanent joint and then needs insulating separately. Use the crimp sleeve where you want a joint that will not back off, such as motor control terminations, control panel wiring, grounding and telecom power connections. Use a wire nut where you expect to open the splice again.
8) How many crimp connectors come in a pack of Ideal 2006S?
The 2006S copper crimp connector ships 100 to a pack, which is the quantity that makes sense for a service van or an MRO crib rather than a single repair. One pack covers the full 18 to 10 AWG range, so it is a single line item on a stocking order.
9) What is the exact manufacturer part number for the Ideal copper crimp connector covering 18-10 AWG?
Ideal Industries part number 2006S. That is the number to order against for the solid copper, pressure-type crimp sleeve rated 18 to 10 AWG, UL 486S Listed and CSA certified.
