Blackburn SP5SL – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire range does the Blackburn SP5SL service post connector take?
The SP5SL is a single-conductor service post rated for 1/0 through 2 AWG, and it accepts either stranded or solid conductor in that range. One conductor per post, so if you need to land two runs you want a dual or multi-tap post instead.
2) What is the Blackburn SP5SL made of, and can I use it with aluminum conductor?
The body is bronze. Bronze service posts are intended for copper conductor; for aluminum or a copper/aluminum mix you need a connector specifically marked AL9CU. The SP5SL is not marked that way here, so treat it as a copper-conductor device.
3) What is a service post connector used for versus a split bolt or a ground lug?
A service post like the SP5SL mounts to a surface or enclosure and gives you a fixed terminal to land a grounding or bonding conductor. A split bolt splices two conductors mid-run with no mounting point, and a ground lug is typically bolted to a busbar or equipment pad. Pick the post when you need a permanent, inspectable termination point for a single 1/0 to 2 AWG conductor.
4) Does the Blackburn SP5SL come with an insulating cover?
No cover or insulation is supplied. It is a bare bronze mechanical connector, so if the installation needs an insulated or taped termination you handle that in the field.
5) Is the Blackburn SP5SL sold individually or in a bag of multiples?
It is sold each, one post per unit. For a panel or service where you are landing several grounding and bonding conductors, order one SP5SL per conductor.
