LCAS8 Copper Compression Connectors

“`html

Product Specifications

Product Name: Copper Compression Connectors
Manufacturer: Panduit Corp.
Model: T-PMPI-63-PC

Product Usage Instructions

Step 1: Selecting the Connector

Use a connector marked for the wire size and wire material to be
used. Never use a copper connector on aluminum wire.

Step 2: Wire Preparation

Strip wire insulation to the approximate length shown on the
tool chart. Do not nick or ring the conductor strands.

Step 3: Wire Cleaning

Clean the wire thoroughly before proceeding with the
installation.

Step 4: Inserting Wire into Connector

Insert the stripped wire into the connector until the wire
stops.

Step 5: Crimping the Connector

Using the installation tooling provided, insert the connector in
the die and crimp between color bands or knurl markings. Use these
markings as a guide to evenly space crimps on the barrel of the
connector. Begin crimping near the tongue end of the lug and
continue crimping toward the wire end. Refer to the tool chart for
the required number of crimps.

Step 6: Inspection

After crimping, inspect for sharp edges, flash, or burrs. Remove
any imperfections if present.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I use a copper connector on aluminum wire?

A: No, it is recommended to never use a copper connector on
aluminum wire as it may lead to compatibility issues and potential
hazards.

Q: How do I determine the required number of crimps?

A: Refer to the tool chart provided in the user manual to
determine the required number of crimps based on the wire size and
connector type.

Q: What should I do if I encounter sharp edges after

crimping?

A: If you notice sharp edges, flash, or burrs after crimping, it
is important to carefully remove them to ensure a secure and safe
connection.
