BLACKBURN® COMPRESSION CONNECTORS
Trusted across power distribution, grounding, and bonding applications, Blackburn compression connectors deliver code-compliant, long-lasting aluminum and copper conductor connections with standard tooling.
THE STANDARD FOR COMPRESSION CONNECTOR PERFORMANCE
Blackburn has long been recognized as a trusted name in compression connector technology for power distribution, grounding, and bonding applications. The Blackburn compression connector line covers a comprehensive range of aluminum and copper conductor connection needs, from H-tap and distribution connectors to lugs, splices, tees, and lug tee taps. All connectors in the line are pre-filled with an oxide inhibitor held captive in the rib and connection area, supporting long-term connection integrity in demanding outdoor and utility environments. The field-proven ribbed design provides reliable connector-to-conductor contact without distorting the conductor shape, and the Seven Connector Program simplifies installation by enabling standard compression tools and dies to install all sizes. Connectors meet the requirements of ANSI C119.4.
