3MTM ScotchlokTM Copper/ Aluminum Compression Connectors 20000 Series Data Sheet Description June 2012 3MTM ScotchlokTM Copper/Aluminum Compression Connectors, 20000 Series are made of high conductivity aluminum and are designed to cover a wide range of conductor sizes from 6 AWG through 1000 kcmil (MCM). They are designed to connect either aluminum and/or copper conductors. Each connector is electro-tin plated to resist electrolytic corrosion. They are installed using standard industry tooling. Chamfered ends, and an integral solid center barrier,* ensure simplicity and ease of conductor insertion. *NOTE: 20001 and 20002 connectors have bore protrusions rather than a solid center barrier.

Values are typical, not to be considered minimum or maximum. Properties measured at room temperature 73F (23C) unless otherwise stated. 3MTM ScotchlokTM Copper/Aluminum Compression Connectors 20000 Series, when crimped with approved die sets, can be used on cables with an operating temperature of 221oF (105oC) and an emergency overload rating of 284oF (140oC). The connectors pass the requirements of UL486B (Underwriters Laboratories standard for safety). The current rating of these connectors meets or exceeds the current rating of the conductor size for which it is intended. Tool/Installation Information Connectors shall be crimped with one of the approved die sets according to the engineering information supplied with the connectors. (Also see Crimping Tool-Die Sets table below). If different crimping tools and die sets are used, consult the tool and die manufacturer. 2 of 4 3MTM ScotchlokTM Copper/Aluminum Compression Connectors 20000 Series Crimping Tool Recommendations Crimping Tool - Die Sets (Minimum # of Crimps / End) 3MTM ScotchlokTM Connector Conductor Size AWG or kcmil (MCM) 20001 6 AWG 161 346 20002 4 AWG 20003 Burndy Corporation Die Index Y35 Y39 Kearney Y45 Y46 TBM5 TBM 8 W161 (1) U161 (1) ------------U6CABT (1) U6CABT (1) U161 (1) U6CABT (1) U161 (1) U6CABT (1) Grey (1) Grey (1) 29 (1) 5/16 (1) 162 375 W162 (2) U162 (1) ------------U4CABT (1) U4CABT (1) U162 (1) U4CABT (1) U162 (1) Green (2) Green (2) U4CABT (1) 37 (1) ------- 2 AWG 163 348 W163 (3) U163 (1) ------------U2CABT (1) U2CABT (1) U163 (1) U2CABT (1) U163 (1) U2CABT (1) Gold (2) Gold (2) 45 (2) 1/2 (2) 20004 1 AWG 163 348 W163 (3) U163 (1) ------------U2CABT (1) U2CABT (1) U163 (1) U2CABT (1) U163 (1) U2CABT (1) Gold (2) Gold (2) 45 (1) 1/2 (2) 20005 1/0 AWG BG 243 W-BG (2) W243 (2) U-BG (2) U243 (1) ------------- U-BG (2) U243 (1) U-BG (2) U243 (1) Tan (3) Tan (3) 52 (1) 5/8 (3) 20006 2/0 AWG 297 ------- U26ART (2) U26ART (2) U26ART (2) U26ART (2) Olive (3) Olive (3) 58 (2) 5/8-1 (3) 3/0 AWG 167 467 ------------- U167 (2) U27ART (3) ------U27ART (3) U167 (2) U27ART (3) U167 (2) U27ART (3) Ruby (3) Ruby (3) 66 (1) ------- 20007 MD6 Thomas & Betts TBM15 WH2,052 20008 4/0 AWG 296 ------- U28ART (2) U28ART (2) U28ART (2) U28ART (2) ------- 20009 250 kcmil 249 W249 (2) U249 (1) ------- U249 (1) U249 (1) ------- Red (2) 76 (1) 640 (3) 20010 300 kcmil 251 470 ------------- U251 (2) U30ART (2) ------U30ART (2) U251 (2) U30ART (2) U251 (2) U30ART (2) -------- Blue (3) 87H (2) 1 (3) 20011 350 kcmil 299 655 ------------- U31ART (2) U655 (2) U31ART (2) ------- U31ART (2) U655 (2) U31ART (2) U655 (2) ------- Brown (4) 96 (2) 1 1/8-1 (2) 20012 400 kcmil 472 655 ------------- U32ART (3) U655 (2) U32ART (3) ------- U32ART (3) U655 (2) U32ART (3) U655 (2) ------- ------- 96 (2) 1 1/8-1 (2) 20014 500 kcmil 300 317 ------------- U34ART (4) U317 (3) U34ART (4) ------- U34ART (4) U317 (3) U34ART (4) U317 (3) ------- ------- 106A (2) 1 5/16 (3) 20016 600 kcmil 473 786 936 ------------------- U36ART (3) U36ART (3) U36ART (3) U36ART (3) U786* P786* ------S786* ------U39ART-2(2) U39ART-2 (2) U39ART-2 (2) ------- -------- 115H (3) 1 5/16 (3) 20019 750 kcmil 608 786 936 ------------------- U608 (2) U786* ------- ------- ------- 125H (4) 1 1/2 (3) 20020 800 kcmil 342 474 ------------- ------------- ------------- S342 (2) S40ART (2) P342 (2) P40ART (2) ------- ------- 140H (2) 1 1/2 (3) 20024 1000 kcmil 292 302 319 352 ------------------------- ------------------------- ------------------------- S292 (4) S44ART (4) S319 (3) S352 (3) P292 (2) P44ART (2) P319 (2) P352 (2) ------- ------- 161 (2) 1 3/4 (3) ------U608 (2) U608 (2) S786* P786* ------U39ART-2(3) U39ART-2 (3) U39ART-2 (3) White (3) 71H (3) 640 (3) *Install as many crimps as possible without overlapping.
