Panduit SBC2/0-Q – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can Panduit SBC2 split bolt connectors be used on aluminum conductors?
No. The Pan-Lug SBC2 split bolts are a copper-to-copper connector built from copper alloy, so they're for splicing and tapping copper conductors only. For aluminum or copper-to-aluminum runs you need a connector rated AL9CU or an aluminum-bodied split bolt instead.
2) What conductor sizes do the Panduit SBC2 split bolt connectors cover?
Two sizes are offered: a 2/0 AWG connector (SBC2/0-Q) and a 250 kcmil connector (SBC250-Q). Each one takes a range of conductor combinations rather than a single size, which is the point of the wide wire-range design, so one part number can cover several splices and cut down the number of connectors you stock on the truck.
3) Will a 600V, 90C split bolt work in my panelboard and feeder circuits?
The SBC2 connectors carry a maximum voltage of 600V and a UL temperature rating of 90C, which suits typical commercial and industrial distribution work including panelboard and switchgear connections and feeder splices run with 90C-rated conductor insulation such as THHN or XHHW. Above 600V they are not rated.
4) Do I have to buy a full box of Panduit SBC2 connectors or can I order one?
Minimum order is one piece, so you can buy a single connector for a one-off splice. The standard package quantity is 25 pieces if you want to stock them for a larger job.
5) Do Panduit SBC2 split bolts meet Buy American / ARRA requirements on federal projects?
The SBC2 Series is flagged ARRA compliant and RoHS compliant, which is what a government or institutional submittal package usually asks for. Note the country of origin is Brazil, so if your contract carries a strict domestic-manufacture clause rather than an ARRA clause, verify against that spec language.
6) Why choose a split bolt over a compression sleeve for a copper tap?
A split bolt is mechanical, so it goes on with a wrench and no crimp tool, die set or hydraulic head, and it can be taken apart if the tap has to be moved. That makes it the practical choice for renovation and retrofit taps and for crews that don't carry compression tooling. A compression connector is the better answer where the splice will be direct-buried, submerged or otherwise inaccessible. Split bolt connections need to be taped or insulated after tightening since the connector itself is bare copper alloy.
7) How does the SBC2 hold a small tap conductor against a large main without pulling loose?
An internal pressure bar sits between the conductors, so when you torque the nut the pressure bar spreads the clamping load across mismatched conductor combinations instead of letting a small tap wire bury itself. Panduit states this gives the connection its wire pull-out strength across the full range of combinations the connector accepts.
8) Which Panduit part number do I order for a 250 kcmil copper feeder splice?
SBC250-Q is the 250 kcmil connector in the Pan-Lug SBC2 Series. For 2/0 AWG copper, order SBC2/0-Q. Both are copper-to-copper, 600V, 90C.
9) Are there any hazmat or shipping restrictions on these connectors?
None. The SBC2 split bolts are not flagged as hazardous material and contain no mercury, so they ship as ordinary freight or parcel with no special handling paperwork.
