3M Scotchlok Copper/ Aluminum Compression Connectors 20000 Series Data Sheet October 2015 Description 3M Scotchlok 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. Agency Approvals UL Listed, UL Standard 486A-486-B, File No. E23438 Features Simple installation using readily available tools Unique integral solid barrier center stop (NOTE: 20001 and 20002 connectors have bore protrusions rather than a solid center barrier.) Manufactured using high conductivity aluminum Color-coded end caps for easy connector identification Antioxidant material (compatible with solid insulations) inside connector barrel to facilitate clean conductor to connector contact Applications To connect aluminum and/or copper conductors from 6 AWG through 1000 kcmil (MCM) For low and medium voltage up to 35 kV For indoor and outdoor use 1 of 4 3 3M Scotchlok Copper/Aluminum Compression Connectors 20000 Series Connector Dimensions and Selection Guide NOTE: All listed connectors are UL Listed.

Values are typical, not to be considered minimum or maximum. Typical Properties Properties measured at room temperature 73F (23C) unless otherwise stated. 3M Scotchlok Copper/Aluminum Compression Connectors 20000 Series, when crimped with approved die sets, can be used on cables with an operating temperature o o o o of 194 F (90 C) and an emergency overload rating of 266 F (130 C). 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. Connectors shall be crimped with one of the approved die sets according to the Tool/Installation engineering information supplied with the connectors. (Also see Crimping Tool-Die Information Sets table below). If different crimping tools and die sets are used, consult the tool and die manufacturer. 2 of 4
