COPPER SHEAR BOLT CONNECTORS #2 AWG COMPACT TO 1000 KCMIL CONCENTRIC KEY FEATURES *H eavy-duty design made of high strength, copper alloy *C ompact and smooth body design *P rovides long service life under normal operating conditions with reserve capacity for emergency loading conditions *C ompatible with Raychem heat-shrink and cold applied splices providing an engineered system with years of trouble-free performance Raychem new line of Copper Shear Bolt connectors are range taking, mechanical connectors that will accommodate a wide range of copper cables from #2 AWG compact stranded to 1000 kcmil concentric stranded. The primary application is for underground splices up to 35 kV. The tool required is a standard ratchet wrench with a hexagonal socket. The design incorporates shear head bolts, which ensures that the correct torque is applied to each bolt. Also, this method of installation reduces worker strain compared to a manual compression tool requiring significant force to operate. A holding tool is recommended to avoid core bending of conductors and can be ordered from TE (#IT-1000-019). TE's cordless impact wrench (#T25446-000) can also be used to install the connector. This convenient and quick tool has been tested and qualified to install ShearBolt connectors. The connector is supplied with two copper inserts assembled into the connector body to center small conductor sizes. For larger sizes, inserts are not required and are easily removed with a standard screwdriver. Please see the installation table on back for details. Customers can count on consistent, high quality products, driven by TE's proven innovation and backed by our extraordinary customer support. ENERGY /// COPPER SHEAR BOLT CONNECTORS Copper Shear bolt Connectors Copper Shear Bolt connectors have an impermeable oil block for connecting paper-insulated cables. An oxide-inhibiting joint compound is factory-applied in the barrel of the connector to provide low initial contact resistance, seal out air and moisture, prevent oxidation, Copper Shear bolt connector installed on EPR insulated 4/0 kcmil 15 kV cable and maintain a reliable connection. FEATURE ADVANTAGE BENEFIT Hexagonal shear head bolts Installs with simple ratchet-type socket wrench One connector for multiple cable sizes reduces inventory and prevents accidental use of the wrong connector Torque-controlled shear head bolts Sheared head gives positive indication of correct installation Low contact resistance gives superior electrical performance Solid center stop Ensures proper conductor position and enables transitions between different conductor types (ex. PILC and XLPE) Eliminates oil leakage Centering inserts for small diameter conductors Properly positions small conductors for proper connection Minimizes voltage stresses at transition from connector body to cable insulation Knurled inner bore Unique profile breaks through conductor oxides and grips conductor strands Generates low contact resistance and increases pullout rating Installs easily in confined areas No special tools or dies required Provides consistent installation torque without special tools producing a more reliable connection PRODUCT SELECTION GUIDE: DIMENSIONS IN INCHES (mm) Description Part Number Conductor Range Conductor OD Range Connector Length Connector OD CSBS-2-250 CU6629-000 #2 AWG compact to 250 kcmil concentric 0.268 - 0.575 (6.8 - 14.6) 3.2 (81) 1.05 (26.7) CSBS-2/0C-500C E20628-000 2/0 AWG compact to 500 kcmil compact 0.376 - 0.736 (9.6 - 18.7) 4.0 (102) 1.20 (30.5) CSBS-2/0-500-CPR CU1218-000 2/0 AWG compact to 500 kcmil compressed 0.376 - 0.790 (9.5 - 20.1) 4.0 (102) 1.30 (33.0) ASBS-3/0-500 310084-000 300 kcmil compact to 750 kcmil compact 0.570 - 0.945 (14.5 - 24.0) 5.0 (127) 1.45 (36.8) ASBS-3/0-500-S ED2175-000 300 kcmil compact to 750 kcmil concentric 0.570 - 0.998 (14.5 - 25.3) 5.0 (127) 1.50 (38.1) ASBS-500-750 ED2183-000 500 kcmil compact to 1000 kcmil concentric 0.736 - 1.152 (18.7 - 29.3) 7.0 (178) 1.75 (44.5) Copper ShearBolt connectors use 4, (or 6 for the CSBS 500-1000 connector), bronze alloy shear head bolts, 2 (or 3) on each side of the center stop. A torque wrench is not required. The tool required is either a standard ratchet or an impact wrench, both with a hexagonal socket. Please see installation information in chart below.

An oxide- inhibiting joint compound is factory-applied in the barrel of the connector to provide low initial contact resistance, seal out air and moisture, prevent oxidation/ corrosion, and maintain a reliable connection for the life of the installation. The connectors have been electrically tested to the class A requirements of ANSI C119.4 and mechanically rated at a pull out force of 1670 lbs for #2 AWG to 250 kcmil, 2300 lbs for the 2/0 AWG to 500 kcmil version, 3000 lbs for the 300 kcmil to 750 kcmil version, and 3800 lbs for the 500 kcmil to 1000 kcmil version.
