AL/CU Compression Adapter 250 kcmil

This Burndy compression pin terminal accepts stranded aluminium or copper conductors sized at 250 kcmil. It provides a straight connection orientation with a brown colour code and die code 299 for tool matching. The tin-finished aluminium contact suits applications up to 35 kV maximum voltage. Two crimps are required to complete the termination.

Check conductor size and tooling

Verify that the existing conductor is stranded copper or aluminium at exactly 250 kcmil before ordering. Confirm the crimping tool supports die code 299 and can deliver the two crimps specified. Ensure the straight pin orientation fits the available space and that the 35 kV rating meets the system insulation requirements.

Tin-plated aluminium contact and rubber insulation

The aluminium barrel measures 1.11 in diameter by 1.07 in long, while the pin is 0.469 in diameter and 1.22 in long. Rubber insulation covers the connection for dielectric strength at the rated voltage. Tin plating on the contact surface resists oxidation during normal service. The overall length is 2.63 in, keeping the profile compact in the enclosure.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box with the Burndy AL Compression Adapter 250 kcmil and do I need to buy anything else to install it?

The box contains the compression pin terminal with its tin-plated aluminium barrel and pin; you must supply a compatible crimping tool that accepts die code 299 and makes two crimps.

How do I decide which capacity or version of this adapter to choose for my 250 kcmil conductors?

This adapter is built specifically for 250 kcmil stranded copper or aluminium conductors, so there is no alternative capacity to select.

What does the 35 kV maximum voltage rating mean once the adapter is crimped into a live circuit?

It means the insulation and crimped joint are tested to withstand up to 35 kV when installed correctly with two crimps using die code 299.
