4.0 Make Connection
4.1
Make connection according to connector manufacturer's instructions. Connectors with a smooth
conforming shape are recommended. Bulky, angular types should be avoided. The mold will accept:
•
Split Solder Sleeve
•
C-Type Compression Connectors up to #2 AWG
•
Split Bolt Connectors up to #4 AWG
4.2
Multi-conductor Cables. Stagger individual connectors (provide lateral spacing of 1/2" between ends of
connectors) and insulate connector with Scotch™ 23 Electrical Tape. Sheath opening should not exceed
