Ilsco TA-1000-2NS Aluminum Mechanical Connector

Product Description

The ILSCO TA-1000-2NS is an aluminum mechanical connector designed for making secure, code-compliant electrical connections in power distribution applications. Mechanical connectors of this type use set-screw or bolt-style clamping to join conductors without the need for specialized crimping tools, making them a field-serviceable solution for licensed electricians working on medium-to-large conductor terminations. At 83 pounds, this is a substantial, industrial-grade fitting suited for demanding electrical infrastructure work. Its compact profile measures 7.25 inches long by 6.18 inches wide by 2 inches tall, allowing installation in standard enclosures and junction points.

Aluminum mechanical connectors like the TA-1000-2NS are commonly used in commercial and industrial electrical systems for bus taps, transformer terminations, switchgear connections, and service entrance wiring. They are installed by licensed journeyman or master electricians working to NEC requirements. The connector is appropriate for use wherever a bolted or set-screw mechanical termination is required on large-gauge aluminum or copper conductors in power distribution panels, switchboards, and metering equipment.

Key Features

• Aluminum body construction suited for high-conductivity electrical termination applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style mechanical tap connector for use in commercial and industrial power distribution systems requiring aluminum mechanical termination hardware.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with applicable NEC articles governing conductor terminations and mechanical connectors. De-energize and lock out the circuit before beginning any termination work. Apply appropriate oxide inhibitor compound to aluminum conductor contact surfaces prior to assembly to prevent oxidation at the joint. Torque all mechanical fasteners to the connector manufacturer specifications found on the product label or documentation.
