Panduit SCS500-6 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What cable sizes does the Panduit SCS splice come in?
Two sizes: SCS500-6 for 500 kcmil copper cable and SCS600-6 for 600 kcmil copper cable. Pick the splice that matches the conductor size exactly, since a compression barrel is sized to the conductor and will not crimp correctly on a smaller or larger cable.
2) How much insulation do I strip back before crimping this Panduit compression splice?
Strip 1-3/8 in. (34.9 mm) of insulation off each conductor end. With a 2.87 in. (72.9 mm) overall barrel length, that puts each conductor roughly to the center stop of the butt splice so both crimps land on full conductor.
3) Does this splice come insulated, or do I have to cover it myself?
It ships non-insulated. The barrel is bare tin-plated copper, so you apply your own covering after crimping, typically heat shrink or tape rated for the circuit voltage. Plan for that material on the job.
4) Is the Panduit SCS splice rated for medium-voltage cable and 90C conductors?
Yes. The SCS Series is UL Listed and CSA Certified to a maximum of 35 kV, with both UL and CSA temperature ratings of 90 C. That covers 90 C rated building wire and medium-voltage feeder splicing up to 35 kV.
5) Can I use the Panduit Pan-Lug SCS splice on aluminum conductor, or do I need a different connector?
No. The Pan-Lug SCS is a copper base material splice intended for copper cable. For aluminum conductor, or for a mixed aluminum-to-copper run, use a dual-rated AL9CU connector such as the NSi ASC-T series dual-rated aluminum compression splice. Substituting a copper-only barrel on aluminum is a listing violation, not just a performance question.
6) Standard barrel or long barrel splice, which do I need?
The Pan-Lug SCS is a standard barrel butt splice, one crimp zone per side, for straight in-line copper joints. Long barrel versions take more crimps per side and are specified where the job calls for extra pull-out resistance or a utility spec requires them, for example the NSi C series long barrel tinned copper splice. Short barrel versions, like the NSi SC series, are used where space in the enclosure is tight.
7) Will this Panduit splice meet Buy American / ARRA requirements on a federally funded job?
The Pan-Lug SCS Series is flagged ARRA compliant. Country of origin is Mexico, which matters if your contract carries a stricter domestic sourcing clause than ARRA.
8) I need an insulated splice for a 35 kV run - is the Pan-Lug SCS the right part?
The Pan-Lug SCS is a non-insulated barrel, UL Listed and CSA Certified to 35 kV with a 90 degree C rating, and it assumes you apply separate insulation, tape, or a heat-shrink or cold-shrink covering over the completed crimp. If you want a bare barrel in a copper-only splice, the NSi SC short barrel and C long barrel tinned copper splices are the same uninsulated style. There is no insulated version in the Pan-Lug SCS family, so plan the covering into the job.
9) For a 500 or 600 kcmil copper feeder splice, what are my options besides Panduit?
The Pan-Lug SCS covers those two sizes directly as SCS500-6 and SCS600-6, standard barrel, tin-plated copper. The cross-brand alternatives in copper are the NSi SC series short barrel and NSi C series long barrel tinned copper splices, both selected by conductor size the same way. Match the connector to the exact kcmil of your conductor and to the die your crimp tool accepts - a barrel sized for a different kcmil will not take a compliant crimp.
10) Is this connector RoHS compliant and free of lead and mercury?
Yes. The SCS Series copper splice is RoHS compliant, with lead and mercury content indicators both listed as N, and it carries no Prop 65 warning.
11) Why tin plating on a copper splice for underground or damp locations?
The tin plating over the copper barrel resists corrosion and oxidation at the joint, which is what keeps resistance stable on splices in vaults, manholes, and other damp or corrosive spots. Since the splice is non-insulated, the covering you add over it still has to handle moisture sealing.
