CSP2

Overview

The Blackburn CSP2 is a short barrel copper compression splice designed for connecting stranded conductors ranging from 3 to 2 AWG. Constructed from high-conductivity seamless copper tubing with tin plating for corrosion resistance, this component features a specifically chamfered barrel to facilitate easier installation. It carries UL and CSA approvals and supports voltage ratings up to 35 kilovolts. The die color code for this specific model is brown.

Feature Summary

• Constructed from high-conductivity seamless copper tubing
• Tin plated surface for enhanced corrosion resistance
• Specifically chamfered barrel design for ease of installation

Applications

• Connecting stranded copper conductors in electrical circuits
• Low voltage and medium voltage power distribution systems
• Overhead and grounding construction applications

Procurement Notes

Verify the part number CSP2 against official Thomas & Betts or ABB documentation to ensure compatibility with 3-2 AWG stranded copper conductors. Confirm that the required crimping tool matches the brown die color code specified for this series. Ensure the application environment does not exceed the 35 kV rating. Check for current UL E9809 listing status before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when joining two strands of 3 to 2 AWG copper wire requiring a short barrel connection. The tin-plated finish is suitable for general environmental conditions. Ensure the crimping tool utilizes the correct brown die to achieve proper compression. This model is intended for use within systems rated at or below 35 kilovolts.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Blackburn CSP series of solderless terminals, distributed under the Thomas & Betts brand by ABB. The series provides reliable compression connections for various conductor sizes. The CSP2 specifically addresses the needs for short barrel splices in standard construction projects requiring UL and CSA certified hardware.

Replacement Considerations
