Blackburn M2D8M-2 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the Blackburn M2D8M-2 motor lead disconnect the male half or the female half?
Male. The M2D8M-2 is the male side of a motor lead pigtail disconnect, so it has to be mated with the matching female half to make up the connection. Order both halves if you are building the splice from scratch.
2) Will the M2D8M-2 work on aluminum motor leads or copper only?
Copper only. The barrel is copper with a tin plated finish, so it is intended for copper conductors. For aluminum leads you need a connector specifically rated AL9CU or AL/CU.
3) How many conductors does the Blackburn M2D8M-2 pigtail disconnect take?
Two leads, at 8 AWG. It is the 2-conductor version, so a three-lead or single-lead motor connection needs a different configuration in the same family.
4) What does the red color on the Blackburn M2D8M-2 disconnect mean?
Red is the Blackburn Color Keyed size marking, not a phase code. On this part it corresponds to a die/size 2 crimp for 8 AWG conductors, so red tells the installer at a glance which die and conductor size the barrel matches.
5) Does the Blackburn M2D8M-2 come as a pair or do I buy each piece separately?
It is sold each, and it is the male half only. A complete motor lead disconnect needs the mating female half ordered separately.
6) Is the tin plating on this motor disconnect worth anything in a damp motor terminal box?
Tin plating over the copper barrel slows oxidation on the contact surfaces, which matters in motor terminal boxes and pump housings where humidity gets in. It is the standard plating for copper compression terminations and helps keep contact resistance stable over repeated disconnects.
7) Where is the Blackburn M2D8M-2 made? I have domestic-preference requirements.
Country of origin is Mexico (MX). If your project carries a Buy American or domestic-content clause, that will not qualify as domestic.
