Product identity

The Blackburn AMTSR500 is a four-port insulated multitap connector rated for 600 V and 194 Degrees F. It accepts stranded copper conductors from 4 AWG up to 500 kcmil as well as aluminum and copper-clad aluminum wires. The PVC-insulated aluminum body carries UL E9809 and CSA 6591 listings.

Upgrade scope

It replaces single-tap lugs or split-bolt joints when a single feeder must serve four branch circuits in a panel or junction box. The jump is worth it when code requires listed insulation and a compact in-line layout instead of taping bare connections.

Capacity limits

Four ports each handle the full 500 kcmil range so heavy service entrances are well within capacity. Headroom ends at the 600 V rating and 194 Degrees F operating ceiling; higher-voltage or higher-temperature applications need different hardware.
