CT-1

Overview

The Ilsco CT-1 is a SureCrimp copper compression sleeve designed for 1 AWG conductors. It features a tin-plated finish and UL/CSA listing. Key dimensions include an inner diameter of 0.359 inches, outer diameter of 0.468 inches, and length of 1.875 inches. Rated for 600 volts, it supports flexible stranded conductors.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes SureCrimp technology for secure compression connections
• Tin-plated surface enhances corrosion resistance
• Complies with UL and CSA safety standards

Applications

• Connecting 1 AWG flexible stranded copper conductors
• Electrical splicing in low-voltage systems
• Industrial wiring installations requiring certified compression sleeves

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific conductor size matches 1 AWG before procurement. Confirm that the application requires a short barrel sleeve rather than long barrel variants. Ensure compatibility with the specified die code I-37 for proper crimping. Check for UL and CSA markings on packaging to ensure compliance with local electrical codes.

Selection Notes

Select this model specifically for 1 AWG conductors. The tin plating offers better oxidation resistance compared to bare copper. Ensure the crimping tool uses the correct die code. Consider voltage rating requirements for the specific circuit application.

Part Context

This component belongs to the ILSCO SureCrimp series of copper compression sleeves. It is part of a broader range of connectors available in various conductor sizes. The CT-1 variant is distinct due to its specific 1 AWG sizing and short barrel design.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other brands offering 1 AWG copper compression sleeves with identical dimensions. Verify that any replacement meets UL and CSA standards. Ensure the alternative product supports the same conductor type and voltage rating.
