Ilsco pbts-3-1/0-sr Nimbus Multi-tap Connector 170A

Product Description

The ILSCO pbts-3-1/0-sr is a Nimbus Series single-sided multi-tap connector designed for making multiple tap connections from a single run conductor. Rated at 170 amps and 600 volts, this 3-pole connector accepts wire ranging from 14 AWG to 1/0 AWG via screw clamp terminations. The body is molded from Plastisol and rated for 90 degrees C operation. It is suitable for both insulated and non-insulated conductor applications. Electricians use this connector in panel tap work, branch circuit distribution, and power distribution blocks where multiple conductors must terminate to a common point in a compact footprint.

The pbts-3-1/0-sr fits residential and light commercial electrical distribution applications where consolidating multiple branch circuits to a single run conductor is required. Its compact dimensions of 2.29 inches in length, 1.53 inches in width, and 1.63 inches in height make it practical for installation inside enclosures, load centers, and junction boxes with limited space. The single-sided configuration keeps all tap conductors on one face, simplifying wire management in tight installations.
