## **COPPER SHEARBOLT CONNECTOR (CSBS)** #2 AWG COMPACT TO 1000 KCMIL CONCENTRIC 

**KEY FEATURES** 

- Heavy-duty design made of high strength, copper alloy 

- Compact and smooth body design 

- Provides long service life under normal operating conditions with reserve capacity for emergency loading conditions 

- Compatible with TE’s Raychem heat-shrink and cold-applied splices providing an engineered system with years of trouble-free performance 

TE’s Raychem Copper Shearbolt Connectors (CSBS) are mechanical connectors that can accommodate a wide range of copper cable from #2 AWG compact stranded to 1000 kcmil concentric stranded. The primary application of our copper shear bolt connectors is underground splices up to 35 kV. 

The tool required to install our CSBS 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 signifi cant force to operate. 

A holding tool is recommended to avoid the 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 qualifi ed 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 the back for details. 

**Customers can count on consistent, high quality products, driven by TE’s proven innovation and backed by our extraordinary customer support.**

|**FEATURE**|**ADVANTAGE**|**BENEFIT**|
|---|---|---|
|Hexagonal shear head bolts|Installs with simple ratchet-type socket wrench|One connector for multiple cable sizes reduces inventory<br>and prevents accidental use of the wrong connector|
|Torque-controlled shear head bolts|Sheared head gives positive indication of<br>correct installation|Low contact resistance gives superior electrical<br>performance|
|Solid center stop|Ensures proper conductor position and enables<br>transitions between diff erent conductor types<br>(ex. PILC and XLPE)|Eliminates oil leakage|
|Centering inserts for small diameter conductors|Properly positions small conductors for proper<br>connection|Minimizes voltage stresses at transition from connector<br>body to cable insulation|
|Knurled inner bore|Unique profi le breaks through conductor oxides and<br>grips conductor strands|Generates low contact resistance and increases pullout<br>rating|
|Installs easily in confi ned areas|No special tools or dies required|Provides consistent installation torque without special<br>tools producing a more reliable connection|

Please contact your TE Connectivity representative for conductor sizes or types not listed in this data sheet. Please request Data Sheet # 3-1773453-0 for our Cordless Impact Wrench. 

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. Engineering Test Reports are available upon request.
