Shearbolt® Connectors

Prysmian's Mechanical Shearbolt Connectors are designed to cover a wide range of conductor sizes from 6 AWG to 1250 kcmil. Individual sizes cover ranges from 6 AWG-3/0, 2 AWG–250 kcmil, 1/0 AWG –500 kcmil, 350–750 kcmil, 500-1000 kcmil and 750–1250 kcmil. The unique stepless Shearbolt design has no predetermined breaking points in the connector thread. Bolts always break flush with the surface of the connector body. The design provides excellent performance and features not found in other mechanical connectors. They meet ANSI C119.4 and withstand the 40% pull out force (ANSI Class 2) required by IEEE-404. No compression dies or mechanical crimp tooling are required for installation. Following cable preparation, simply slide the connector over the conductor and tighten the bolts until they shear off. Prysmian Mechanical Shearbolt Connectors are dual-rated (AL/CU) and tin-plated to resist corrosion. Compatible with the full line of Prysmian Elaspeed™ cold-applied splice kits, they offer the best medium voltage cable splicing solution.
