Blackburn MD2M-2 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the Blackburn MD2M-2 used for?
The MD2M-2 is a male motor lead disconnect, the plug half of a motor pigtail connection. You crimp it onto a single conductor and mate it with the matching female half so a motor can be disconnected and reconnected without cutting and re-splicing leads. Copper body, tin plated.
2) Does the Blackburn MD2M-2 come with the mating female disconnect?
No. The MD2M-2 is the male half only, sold each. The female half of the pair is ordered separately, and it needs to be the same size 2 Color Keyed brown coding so the halves mate and the wire range matches.
3) Can the MD2M-2 be used with aluminum motor leads?
It is a copper terminal, so use it on copper conductors. For aluminum or mixed copper to aluminum motor leads, specify a connector rated AL9CU or dual rated instead. The tin plating on the MD2M-2 protects the copper barrel from oxidation, but plating alone does not make a copper-only terminal suitable for aluminum wire.
4) What does the brown color on a Blackburn Color Keyed disconnect mean?
Brown is the Color Keyed size marking on the MD2M-2, corresponding to its size 2 wire range. On a motor job the color lets you pair male and female halves and pick the matching die without reading the stamp on the barrel, so all the brown terminals on a panel take the same conductor size.
5) Is the Blackburn MD2M-2 motor lead disconnect UL listed?
Yes. The MD2M-2 carries UL file E9809. That is the reference an inspector or a spec writer wants for a motor lead termination in a commercial or industrial panel.
6) How many conductors does one MD2M-2 take?
One. It is a single-lead disconnect, so a three-phase motor needs three male halves and three mating female halves. Order per conductor, since it sells each.
7) Is the Blackburn MD2M-2 a crimp connector or a set screw connector?
Crimp. It is a compression wire terminal disconnect, so you will need the crimp tool and die that matches the size 2 Color Keyed brown coding. No set screws, no torque spec to hit.
8) Where is the Blackburn MD2M-2 made?
Mexico. That matters on public and institutional work where country of origin has to be documented on the submittal.
