  • Product typeElectrical Connectors
  • Aluminium body with plastisol finish resists corrosion
  • Three ports accept 6 AWG to 3/0 AWG stranded copper or aluminium conductors
  • Hex drive 5/16 in allows fast, secure installation with standard tools
  • Rated 600 V and 194 °F maximum for demanding electrical environments
  • cULus listed and UL 486B compliant for code-approved connections

Polaris nsi 3-Port Multitap Connector

The Polaris nsi IPL3/0-3B is a three-port multitap connector built for electrical and industrial wiring tasks. Its aluminum body with a black plastisol finish accepts both aluminum and copper conductors. The unit is rated for 600 V maximum voltage and carries cULus and UL 486B listings.

Upgrade from single-tap or two-port blocks

This connector replaces single-port lugs or two-port distribution blocks when a installer needs to join three conductors at one point. The jump is worth it when a project calls for a compact, insulated junction that handles stranded copper from 6 AWG up to 3/0 AWG without adding extra hardware.

Three ports rated to 194 °F

Each port accommodates stranded copper wire sizes between 6 AWG and 3/0 AWG and is secured with a 5/16 in hex drive. The plastisol insulation is rated to a maximum operating temperature of 194 degrees F and the assembly is RoHS compliant. It is not suited for applications requiring more than three ports or voltages above 600 V.

Questions about this item

What hex size is required to tighten the three ports?

A 5/16 in hex key is used to secure each of the three ports on the connector body.

How is the Plastisol-insulated body installed on stranded conductors?

Strip each wire, insert into a port, and tighten the hex screw; the black Plastisol cover slides over the connection for insulation.

When should the connector be replaced based on its temperature rating?

Replace the unit if the operating temperature exceeds 194 Degrees F or if the Plastisol insulation shows cracking or heat damage.
