Detailed Product Description

Insulation Piercing Connectors for ABC

JMA2-150   ref.IPC150/35  ,IPC150/35

Messager size: ^Run:150-50sqmm  ^Tap:(50)35-4sqmm

JMA's IPC (Insulation Piercing Connectors) are used to tap off low voltage XLPE insulated Aerial Bundled Cable (ABC), using a unique insulation piercing technique.

Designed for all weather applications, corrosion resistant, ease of installation and low cost.

Connections can be made fully live in minutes, without time- consuming crimping, applying insulation or sealing compound.

Body moulded from tough, resilient, glass filled nylon for long service life exposed to weather (particularly sunlight) and is rounded to prevent damage to adjacent conductors.

Extra hard copper contact teeth cut through insulation without splitting and ensure proper penetration into the conductor and electrical continuity without sacrificing the mechanical strength of the conductor.

Copper teeth ensure compatibility with aluminium/Copper conductor and will not deteriorate due to stress corrosion.

Rubber seals and grease prevent moisture entering the cable for longterm performance.

End caps provided are used to seal the end of the branch core.

Suitable for Aluminium and Copper.

The IPC connectors are simply tightened onto the insulated conductor using a 13 mm spanner and have a hex nut that shears once the correct torque is attained. This installation can be done fully live since the IPC connector is insulated and the insulation is not removed from the conductor. The contact pressure is maintained by the single hot dip galvanised bolt.
