Description: The insulation piercing connectors are applicable for all types of LV-ABC conductors as well as connections in service line system, building electrical system and street lighting system. Insulation piercing connectors can be easily done by tightening the bolts to force the teeth penetrate the insulation of main line and tap line simultaneously. Stripping of insulation is avoided for both lines.

SMICO Connectivity’s Insulated Piercing Connectors SM's easy installation has been combined with excellent mechanical, electrical and environmental characteristics to provide a connector capable of termination aluminim or copper standed conductors. Tin plated copper blades (P3/P4) imbedded in mouled plastic and surrounded with a sealing compund insure electrical contact in low voltage overhead distribution networks. A single torque control nut draws the two halves of the connector together and shears off when the teeth have pierced the insulation and made contact with the conductor strands. It is not recommended to re-use IPC when removed. P3X/P4X connectors are specifically designed for main to main connection in low voltage ABC lines. They can also be used with 1500 V DC considering that the maximum carrying capacity of the P3X and P4X will be respectively 350A RMS and 550A RMS.

● Main line: Insulated aluminium cable

● Tap line: Insulated aluminium cable or Insulated copper cable

● Body is moulded from tough and weather resistant materials

● Special designed shear head bolt allows efficient installation under controlled shear torque which ensure the contact teeth properly penetrate the conductor without damaging the mechanical strength of the conductor

● Tested for watertightness at the voltage of 6kV for 1min under water

● Safe live-line installation

● Seals and grease are applied to prevent moisture entering the cable and connector which guarantees excellent waterproof and corrosion resistant performance

● End cap is attached to the body. No loose parts could fall to ground during installation

● Standard: EN 50483-4, NFC 33-020, NFC 33-004
