Three-Port Multitap Connector

The Polaris Vision Tap IPL1/0-3CB is a three-port multitap connector built with an aluminum body and clear plastisol insulation. It accepts stranded copper or aluminum conductors ranging from 14 AWG to 1/0 AWG and is secured with a 3/16 inch hex head. The connector carries cULus certification and meets UL 486A and UL 486B standards.

Suited for parallel splices, not large feeds

Electricians running parallel taps on aluminum or copper wire up to 1/0 AWG will find this connector fits the job. It is not intended for conductors larger than 1/0 AWG or for installations requiring more than three ports. Buyers needing higher port counts or larger wire ranges should look at other configurations.

Fits in standard enclosures, frees terminal space

The compact three-port layout lets you join multiple conductors inside a junction box or panel without stacking separate lugs. Rated for 600 volts and 194 degrees Fahrenheit, it works in typical residential and commercial power circuits. The plastisol cover eliminates the need for separate tape or heat-shrink, saving installation time.

Questions about this item

What is the smallest stranded copper wire size the 3-port Polaris multitap connector can accept?

The connector is rated for stranded copper wire down to 14 AWG minimum, so any conductor at or above that gauge will fit securely in each of the three ports.

Will the Plastisol-insulated aluminum body handle the heat from a 600 V circuit running near its 194 °F temperature limit?

Yes, the Plastisol finish is designed for continuous operation up to 194 °F at the full 600 V rating, matching the cULus and UL 486A/486B listings for the connector.

How can I confirm each port is properly torqued after inserting the conductors?

Use a 3/16 in hex driver to tighten each set-screw until the hex head seats firmly; the connector’s hex-head design gives a positive mechanical stop so you can feel when the connection is secure.
