SB1/0-6CPD Southwire Split Bolt Connector, 1PK

Description

Product Overview

The Southwire SB1/0-6CPD split‑bolt connector is engineered for professional-grade electrical installations where reliability and durability are paramount. Constructed from a tin‑plated copper alloy, the connector provides excellent conductivity while resisting corrosion in harsh environments. Its grey finish not only offers a neutral aesthetic that blends with most wiring systems but also helps identify the component quickly during inspections. Rated for 600 V and 90 °C, this connector meets the stringent requirements of both residential and commercial applications, ensuring safe operation under high‑temperature conditions.

Dimensions of 0.91 × 2.78 × 5.12 inches and a lightweight design of just 3.17 oz make the SB1/0-6CPD easy to handle and install in confined spaces. The part number 65179340 guarantees compatibility with Southwire’s extensive product line, and the single‑piece packaging (1PK) simplifies inventory management for contractors and distributors alike. With a customer rating of 4.7 out of 5 stars, this connector has earned a reputation for consistent performance and ease of use.

Usage

Designed for a variety of grounding, splicing, and tapping applications, the SB1/0-6CPD excels in scenarios where both aluminum and copper conductors are present. Whether you are terminating #6‑STR to #1/0‑STR conductors in a new residential service panel, upgrading an industrial grounding system, or performing a retrofit in a commercial building, this connector provides a secure, low‑resistance connection that meets NEC standards.

Electricians appreciate the dual‑rated capability, which eliminates the need to stock separate connectors for aluminum and copper, reducing both cost and the risk of using the wrong component. The connector’s robust design also makes it suitable for outdoor installations, such as utility pole grounding or marine environments, where exposure to moisture and temperature fluctuations is common.

Because the connector is tin‑plated, it offers superior resistance to oxidation, ensuring a long‑lasting connection even in corrosive atmospheres. This makes it an excellent choice for agricultural settings, oil and gas facilities, and any location where the electrical system must endure challenging conditions.
