  • TypeElectrical Connectors
  • Length1.400
  • Straight orientation simplifies inline splices in tight spaces
  • Die code 296 ensures correct crimp tool selection for reliable joints
  • Rated to 35 kV for high-voltage building wire applications
  • Single crimp per connection reduces installation time and error risk
  • Tin-plated aluminium contact resists corrosion in damp environments

Straight compression adapter for 6 AWG aluminium

The Burndy AYP6 connects stranded 6 AWG aluminium or copper conductors with a straight compression joint. A single crimp using die code 296 secures the connection for building-wire installations. The aluminium barrel is tin-plated and colour-coded tan for quick identification.

Replaces crimp-on lugs

This adapter finishes the joint in one crimp, reducing labour on new runs and on repairs where the existing conductor is already stripped to length. The jump is worth it when the job specifies a 35 kV maximum voltage rating and a pin equivalent to 4 AWG.

Handles 6 AWG stranded copper

The .60 in barrel diameter and 1 in barrel length give enough contact area for the rated voltage. Headroom ends at the single 6 AWG size; larger conductors or multi-crimp specifications need a different connector.

Questions about this item

What barrel diameter and length does the AYP6 adapter need for the crimp tool?

The barrel measures .60 in diameter and 1 in length, so the crimp die must match those dimensions.

Which die code is required for the single crimp on this aluminum adapter?

Die code 296 is specified for the one crimp needed on the AYP6 compression adapter.

When should the tin-plated aluminum contact be inspected or replaced?

Inspect the tin-plated aluminum contact periodically for oxidation or mechanical damage and replace if the finish is compromised.
