3M 7000149316 Aluminum Connector 35 Kv 2/0 Awg

Product Description

The 3M 7000149316 is an aluminum connector rated up to 35 kV, designed for splicing and terminating copper or aluminum conductors in medium-voltage electrical installations. Built around the Scotchlok connector platform, it accepts 2/0 AWG conductors and measures 2.31 inches in length with an inner diameter of 0.439 inches and an outer diameter of 0.687 inches. The olive color coding on the end cap allows for fast visual identification during installation. A contact aid is pre-applied in the connector barrel, making it compatible with poly and EPR insulations. Licensed electricians and cable splicers working on medium-voltage distribution systems are the primary installers.

This connector is suited for medium-voltage cable splicing and termination work in both residential service entrance and commercial or utility distribution applications. It is engineered for use where copper or aluminum conductors at the 2/0 AWG size require a reliable, moisture-resistant mechanical connection. The pre-loaded contact aid in the barrel simplifies field assembly, particularly in environments where poly or EPR-insulated cable is standard. The olive color code helps crews differentiate conductor sizes on job sites where multiple connector sizes are in use.

Key Features
