Blackburn PAE3939-9-B3 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is a Blackburn PAE3939-9-B3 parallel groove clamp used for?
It's a mechanical connector for tapping or splicing two conductors that run alongside each other. The two conductors seat in parallel grooves in the clamp body and the bolted halves compress them together, so no crimp tool or heat is needed, and the joint can be taken apart later. The PAE3939-9-B3 comes with B3 Contax, the oxide inhibiting compound applied to the conductor grooves.
2) Do I need a crimp tool or die set to install this Blackburn parallel groove clamp?
No. This is a bolted mechanical connector, so it installs with a wrench or socket rather than a hydraulic or battery crimper with matching dies. That is the practical reason crews carry parallel groove clamps on line and service work: one tool, and the connection can be opened and reused if the conductor has to be re-pulled.
3) Does the PAE3939-9-B3 already have joint compound on it, or do I have to brush on my own?
The B3 Contax compound is already applied. B3 is the oxide inhibiting compound Blackburn packs into the conductor grooves, so you are not buying a separate tube for the connection. Standard practice still applies: wire brush the conductor before seating it so the compound has clean metal to work against.
4) Is the Blackburn PAE3939-9-B3 sold individually or in a box?
It's sold each, one clamp per unit, so you order the exact count the job calls for rather than a carton quantity. Order the part as Blackburn PAE3939-9-B3.
5) Where is the Blackburn PAE3939-9-B3 clamp made? I have a domestic sourcing requirement.
Country of origin is Mexico. If your job carries a Buy American or domestic-content clause on electrical materials, this one will not satisfy it and you'll want to specify a US-origin connector instead.
