COLOR-KEYED® COMPRESSION CONNECTORS

Color-coded connectors and crimp dies deliver an optimum electrical bond between connector and conductor.

THE INDUSTRY'S FIRST COLOR-CODED COMPRESSION CONNECTOR SYSTEM.

ABB's Color-Keyed system pairs color-coded connectors with precisely matched crimp dies to form the connector and conductor into a solid, homogenous mass, providing an optimum electrical bond with low resistance and high pullout values as well as considerable time and installation cost savings.

KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS

<p>Built with high-conductivity materials and a complete system of compression tools and matched dies, ABB's Color-Keyed compression connectors deliver consistent, verifiable crimps for reliable, long-lasting performance. Manufactured in ABB's Ormond Beach, Florida facility, more than 350 copper and aluminum lugs complete electrical connections for applications ranging from grounding and bonding, power distribution and data centers to renewables, rail and commercial construction.</p>

Compliant

<p>Meet UL Standard 486A and CSA 22.2 requirements.</p>

Comprehensive

<p>More than 350 made-to-order Color-Keyed compression lugs available, and are ready to ship in five days or less.</p>

Performance

<p>Deliver secure, high-performance electrical connections for copper and aluminum conductors.</p>

Reliable

<p>Precision-engineered dies and compression tools form the connector and conductor into a solid mass, creating a low-resistance bond that guarantees superior conductivity and long-term reliability.</p>

Easy installation

<p>Connectors simplify installation, reduce labor costs and provide visual verification through embossed die codes for inspection.</p>

Corrosion-resistant

<p>Copper connectors are made from high-conductivity wrought or cast copper with electro-tin plating for corrosion resistance, while aluminum connectors feature an oxide inhibitor compound for secure terminations.</p>
