Overview
The Burndy AYP1/0 Hyplug compression pin adapter is an aluminum inline connector designed for terminating 1/0 AWG stranded copper or aluminum conductors. This type AYPO straight compression adapter features all-aluminum electro-tin plated construction that eliminates bi-metallic corrosion and provides reliable, air-tight connections in high-voltage equipment, meter sockets, panel boards, and molded-case circuit breakers.
Key Features
- All-aluminum electro-tin plated design — eliminates bi-metallic corrosion and extends service life
- Pre-filled with PENETROX® — oxide-inhibiting compound with conductive particles for air-tight connections between conductor strands
- Compact connector length — shortest design possible for easy installation in tight equipment spaces
- Solid aluminum plug with equivalent cross-sectional area — permits use of larger aluminum wire while maintaining electrical integrity
- Rated 600–35,000 VAC — suitable for low-voltage to high-voltage distribution and utility applications
- EPDM rubber covers included — rated 600V; supplied with each connector to eliminate manual taping
