Ideal Industries 427 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What wire sizes will the Ideal 427 tubular screw connector take?
The Ideal Industries 427 handles conductors from #6 AWG up to 250 kcmil, so it covers everything from a feeder tap up to a service-size conductor. If your run is larger than 250 kcmil, this is the wrong connector.
2) Is the Ideal 427 connector rated 600V for a commercial panel or motor control center?
Yes, it carries a 600V rating, which covers standard commercial and industrial power distribution at 120/208, 277/480 and similar systems. The temperature rating is up to 150 C (302 F), so it is also usable with high temperature conductor insulation.
3) How many connectors come in a box of the Ideal 427?
They ship as a box of 6 terminals. For a three-phase feeder splice you would normally need three (or four with a neutral), so one box covers a single termination point with spares.
4) What is the 427 connector made of, and will it hold up in a damp or corrosive industrial space?
It is painted steel. The paint finish is there for corrosion resistance in industrial and marine type environments rather than clean indoor panel work only.
5) Is a tubular screw terminal the right choice, or should I use a compression lug?
A tubular screw terminal like the 427 is a mechanical connection: strip the conductor, insert it fully into the barrel, and torque the setscrew. No crimp tool or die set is needed, which is why it is common for field splices and panel terminations on #6 through 250 kcmil. A compression lug needs a hydraulic crimper and the matching die, so pick that route only when the spec calls for a crimped termination.
6) Do I need anything else to finish the connection with the Ideal 427?
The 427 is the terminal only. You will need a torque driver or wrench to hit the manufacturer's torque value on the setscrew, and insulating tape or a cover as your local code requires for the exposed connection. Verify wire seating before energizing.
7) Can I use the Ideal 427 on a generator or transformer connection?
Yes, within its limits: up to 250 kcmil conductors and 600V. That fits typical generator feeder terminations, transformer secondary connections, and MCC wiring. Above 600V or above 250 kcmil, specify a different connector.
8) What is the part number for the Ideal ultra heavy duty 250 kcmil screw connector?
Ideal Industries part number 427, described as a tubular screw, painted, #6 to 250 kcmil ultra heavy duty connector.
