Product Name: IPC 2 Screw Insulation Piercing Connector (35-95mm²) for ABC Cable
Overview:
The Insulation Piercing Connector (IPC) is a reliable, tool-efficient solution designed for tap connections and branch lines in Low Voltage (LV) Aerial Bundled Conductor (ABC) systems. Engineered to simplify electrical distribution, this connector allows for secure branching without the need to strip the cable insulation, ensuring a safe and rapid installation process.
Key Features:
-
No-Strip Installation: Connections can be made instantly without peeling or stripping the cable insulation layer, saving labor time and cost .
-
Shear-Head Bolt Technology: Equipped with 2 high-strength screws featuring a shear-off head. When tightened with a standard wrench, the head breaks off at a precise torque, ensuring constant piercing pressure and preventing over-tightening or under-tightening .
-
Conductor Friendly: The precision-engineered contact teeth pierce through the insulation to reach the conductor but are designed to avoid damaging the structural integrity of the core wires .
-
Dual Port / Multi-Branch: Features a dual-branch (two-port) design, ideal for creating multiple tap-offs from the main line (Main: 35-95mm² / Tap: compatible with various sizes depending on specific model variant, commonly 4-50mm² or 25-95mm²) .
-
Superior Environmental Protection: The body is molded from UV-resistant, fiberglass-reinforced thermoplastic. Combined with internal sealing grease and additional rubber gaskets, it provides an IP68-level waterproof, moisture-proof, and anti-corrosion seal, significantly extending the service life of the connection .
-
Bi-metallic Compatibility: Contact plates (typically tin-plated copper or aluminum alloy) allow for flexible connections between Aluminum-to-Aluminum or Aluminum-to-Copper conductors .
Applications:
-
Overhead Low Voltage (LV) power distribution networks (≤ 1kV).
-
Service connections for residential households.
-
Street lighting branch connections.
-
Tap connections for distribution boxes.
-
Suitable for use on XLPE, PE, or PVC insulated ABC cables .
Technical Highlights:
-
Voltage Rating: ≤ 1 kV (Low Voltage).
-
Body Material: UV-resistant Polyamide (PA66) or high-strength engineering plastic.
-
Contact Material: Tin-plated copper or aluminum alloy.
-
Bolts: 2 x Shear-head screws (Galvanized steel).
-
Compliance: Meets international standards such as EN 50483-4, NFC 33-020, and IEC 61284.
