Thomas & Betts 60568 Two-Way Standard Barrel Aluminum Compression Splice Connector

Description:

The Thomas & Betts 60568 Two-Way Standard Barrel Aluminum Compression Splice Connector is used to permanently splice 400 kcmil aluminum or copper conductors in power distribution and electrical wiring systems. Commonly installed in utility distribution networks, switchgear, transformers, substations, renewable energy systems, and industrial electrical installations, this standard-barrel compression splice provides a secure, low-resistance electrical connection. Maintenance teams and system integrators use this part for repair, retrofit, expansion, and replacement of aluminum-to-aluminum or aluminum-to-copper conductor splices.

Applications:

The Thomas & Betts 60568 is designed to join two 400 kcmil aluminum or copper conductors using a compression crimp connection. The connector is factory-filled with T&B oxide inhibitor compound to minimize oxidation and ensure long-term conductivity. Its standard-barrel design and Green 94 die code provide reliable field installation for commercial, industrial, utility, and renewable energy applications operating on systems rated from 600 V up to 35 kV. It is compatible with Thomas & Betts Color-Keyed® compression tools and matching 94-series dies.
