Blackburn IPC3535 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What voltage can the Blackburn IPC3535 insulation piercing connector be used on?
The IPC3535 is rated 300 V, so it belongs on low voltage branch and control circuits, not on 600 V feeder or service runs. If the circuit you are tapping is a standard 600 V rated building wiring system, this is the wrong connector and you want a 600 V rated tap instead.
2) Do I have to strip the wire to install an insulation piercing connector like the IPC3535?
No. A piercing connector makes the tap through the insulation, so the run conductor stays intact and unstripped. That is the main reason crews use them for taps on existing runs where cutting the main is not an option. The IPC3535 is a mechanical connector, tightened down rather than crimped or compressed, so no special tooling beyond a wrench or driver is involved.
3) Can the IPC3535 piercing connector be used with 90 degree C rated wire like THHN?
Yes. The Blackburn IPC3535 carries a 90 degree C temperature rating, so it matches conductors with 90 degree C insulation. Circuit ampacity still has to be figured from the conductor and the termination rating at each end, not from the connector.
4) Is the IPC3535 sold individually or in a box?
It is sold each, so quantity ordered equals connectors received. Worth counting your taps before ordering if you are doing a run of them.
5) What color is the Blackburn IPC3535 connector body, and where is it made?
Black body, manufactured in Mexico. The black housing is the insulated cover over the piercing mechanism, which is what lets these be used on taps without a separate tape or boot buildup.
