CPM-2

Overview

The Ilsco CPM-2 is a copper compression pigtail adaptor designed for conductor size 2 AWG. It features a tin-plated finish and is rated for 600 volts. The unit has straight type construction with dimensions of 2.875 inches in length, 0.82 inches in width, and 0.82 inches in height. It holds UL File Number E62525 and CSA certification under C22.2 No. Standard.

Feature Summary

• Dual-rated compatibility for aluminum and copper conductors
• High conductivity copper pigtail material with high strength aluminum alloy barrel
• Tin plated connector finish for corrosion resistance
• Includes insulating cover for safety

Applications

• Connecting aluminum branch circuit conductors to copper equipment grounding conductors
• Splicing aluminum feeders to copper distribution systems
• Electrical panel upgrades requiring aluminum-to-copper transitions

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific UL file number E62525 and CSA compliance requirements against local electrical codes before purchase. Confirm that the conductor size matches exactly 2 AWG. Ensure the die code required for installation (Code 9) is available. Check if the insulating cover is included as standard packaging varies by distributor.

Selection Notes

Select this model specifically for 2 AWG conductor applications. Ensure the installation tool supports Die Code 9. Verify voltage rating of 600V meets system requirements. Consider the physical dimensions (2.875 L x 0.82 W x 0.82 H IN) for space constraints within junction boxes or panels.
