3M 7000005883 Aluminum Connector 1/0 Awg 35 Kv

Product Description

The 3M 7000005883 is a Scotchlok aluminum connector rated for use up to 35 kV, designed for splicing copper or aluminum conductors at 1/0 AWG. The connector measures 2.120 inches in length with an inner diameter of 0.414 inches and an outer diameter of 0.640 inches. The tan color-coded end cap provides quick visual identification during installation. A contact aid is pre-loaded in the connector barrel, making it compatible with polyethylene and EPR insulations commonly found in medium-voltage cable assemblies. Licensed electricians and utility technicians working on medium-voltage distribution systems are the primary installers of this component.

This connector is suited for medium-voltage splicing applications in underground residential distribution, commercial feeders, and industrial power systems operating up to 35 kV. The 1/0 AWG rating covers a common conductor size used in both secondary and primary distribution runs. The tan color designation helps crews quickly distinguish this connector from other AWG-rated units during multi-splice work in the field or in a termination enclosure.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician qualified for medium-voltage work. De-energize and properly ground the circuit before handling any conductor or connector. Follow applicable NFPA 70 (NEC) and local utility standards for medium-voltage splicing procedures. Do not reuse a connector once it has been crimped or seated.
