Panduit PS16-C – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire sizes does the Panduit PS16-C parallel splice take?
The PS16-C Pan-Term parallel splice accepts conductors from 0.8 mm2 to 2 mm2. In AWG terms that range covers roughly 18 through 14 gauge stranded control wire. Both conductors enter the same side of the barrel and run parallel, so the two wires you are splicing need to fall inside that range together.
2) How far back do I strip the wire for a Panduit PS16-C splice?
Strip 5/16 inch. The barrel itself is only 0.29 inch long overall, so a longer strip leaves bare copper hanging out past the crimp and a shorter one leaves insulation inside the barrel where the crimp needs bare strands.
3) Does the Panduit PS16-C meet UL and CSA standards for code work?
Yes. The Pan-Term parallel splice meets UL 486C and CSA C22.2 No.65, and it is RoHS compliant. It is also flagged ARRA compliant, which matters if you are on a federally funded job with domestic sourcing language.
4) Is a non-insulated parallel splice the right choice, or should I use an insulated butt splice?
A parallel splice like the PS16-C joins two conductors entering from the same end, running side by side, rather than end to end the way a butt splice does. Use it where you are tapping or doubling a conductor and the wires come from the same direction. Because it is non-insulated with a metallic color code, you have to insulate it yourself with heat shrink or tape after crimping. If you want the insulation built in and the wires approach from opposite ends, a butt splice is the better fit.
5) Can I use the Panduit PS16-C in a high-temperature control panel?
It carries UL and CSA temperature ratings of 150 C (302 F), which covers most industrial control panel and panelboard environments. Voltage rating is 2000 V, so it is well clear of typical 600 V control and branch circuit work.
6) How many Panduit PS16-C splices come in a pack, and what is the minimum order?
Standard package is 100 pieces, and the standard carton holds 500. Minimum order quantity is 500 pieces, so you are buying a full carton rather than a single bag.
7) Will the Panduit PS16-C splice fit in a tight wire bundle or raceway?
It is a small barrel: 7.4 mm long by 4.1 mm wide, or 0.29 inch overall length. That leaves room to insulate over it with heat shrink and still pull the splice through a bundle or into a duct without a bulge.
8) How does brass with tin plating hold up compared to a plain copper splice?
The PS16-C uses a brass base with a tin-plated finish. Tin plating is what keeps the crimp surface from oxidizing in damp or industrial air, and it is the standard plating for terminating copper conductors without dissimilar metal problems at the joint.
9) Is the Panduit PS16-C lead free, and where is it made?
The lead and mercury content indicators are both N, and California Prop 65 cancer flag is No. Country of origin is Mexico. Useful details if you are filing submittals for a healthcare or school project.
