Technical Specifications
The S500 copper split bolt connector is designed to connect two conductors in electrical power systems, grounding networks, bonding applications, and direct burial installations. It is manufactured from a high-strength copper alloy that resists corrosion and stress cracking, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.
The connector is compatible with a wide range of copper conductors, including solid, compact, compressed, concentric, copperweld conductors, and rebar connections. Its true hex head design allows installation using standard sockets, torque wrenches, box wrenches, or open-end wrenches.
Key features:
- High-strength copper alloy construction
- Approved for electrical power, grounding, bonding, and direct burial applications
- True hex design for easy installation with standard tools
- High contact pressure under proper torque
- Pressure bar design helps improve pull-out resistance
- Wide conductor compatibility
- Reusable when installed following recommended practices
- Rated for 600 V systems and 90°C conductors
This split bolt connector is commonly used by electrical contractors for conductor splicing, grounding electrode connections, bonding systems, rebar grounding, and direct burial installations in earth or concrete. The design helps maintain a secure mechanical and electrical connection across a broad range of conductor sizes.
