Southwire SB6-10CPDQ2; 2PK Split Bolt Connector; 6 10 STR; Dual-Rated for use with Copper & Aluminum Conductors; 2 Pack; Gray; 2 Piece

Description

Product Overview

The Southwire SB6-10CPDQ2 split bolt connector set is engineered for professionals who demand dependable performance in demanding electrical environments. Each package contains two gray, dual‑rated connectors that are compatible with both copper and aluminum conductors ranging from #6 to #10 stranded (STR). Constructed from high‑conductivity copper contact material and a robust aluminum body, these connectors provide excellent electrical conductivity while maintaining mechanical strength. They are UL‑listed, rated for 600 V and 90 °C, and feature a non‑insulated design that simplifies installation and reduces the need for additional stripping or crimping tools. The compact dimensions—0.55 x 0.25 x 0.76 inches—allow for tight spacing in conduit or panel boards, and the lightweight construction (2.08 ounces per connector) minimizes overall system weight. The included ground clamp with hub/strap ensures a secure grounding path, essential for safety‑critical applications.

Usage

These split bolt connectors excel in a wide range of grounding and splicing scenarios. Whether you are terminating service entrance conductors, creating a reliable ground bond for a generator, or tapping into an existing feeder for a sub‑panel, the SB6-10CPDQ2 delivers a low‑resistance connection that meets code requirements. The dual‑rated capability means electricians can confidently use the same connector for both copper and aluminum wiring, reducing inventory complexity and speeding up job site workflows. Ideal for residential remodels, commercial construction, and industrial maintenance, the connectors perform well in environments that experience temperature fluctuations up to 90 °C, such as outdoor conduit runs, rooftop equipment enclosures, and high‑current motor control centers. Their gray finish provides a neutral appearance that blends with most electrical panels and conduit systems.

FAQ

What size conductors can I use with the SB6-10CPDQ2?

The connector is rated for #6 to #10 stranded (STR) copper or aluminum conductors, providing flexibility for a variety of feeder and grounding applications.

Is the connector suitable for outdoor installations?

Yes. With a temperature rating of 90 °C and a robust aluminum body, the connector can be used in outdoor conduit, rooftop enclosures, and other environments where exposure to heat and weather is expected.

Do I need to apply any insulation or heat‑shrink tubing after installation?

No additional insulation is required because the connector is non‑insulated and designed to be installed in a manner that maintains a secure mechanical and electrical bond. However, if local codes or specific project requirements call for extra protection, a heat‑shrink sleeve may be added.

Can I use this connector for both grounding and splicing tasks?

Absolutely. The SB6-10CPDQ2 is versatile enough to serve as a grounding clamp, a splice connector, or a tap point for extending circuits, making it a valuable tool in an electrician’s kit.

What warranty coverage does Southwire provide?
