Polaris nsi 5-Port Multitap Connector

The Polaris nsi IPLD250-5B is an insulated multitap connector designed for joining multiple conductors in electrical installations. It accepts stranded copper wires from 6 AWG up to 250 kcmil and is also rated for aluminium conductors. The body is aluminium with a black plastisol finish providing insulation up to 600 V.

Hex-Head Installation and Common Issues

Each of the five ports uses a 5/16 in hex set screw for conductor retention, allowing installation with a standard hex driver or wrench. The plastisol insulation is pre-applied, so no separate taping or heat-shrink step is required. A frequent issue is under-torquing the set screws, which can lead to loose connections and overheating; another is inserting conductors larger than 250 kcmil, which the ports cannot accommodate.

Verify Wire Size, Voltage and Port Count

Before ordering, confirm that your conductors fall within the 6 AWG to 250 kcmil stranded copper range and that the circuit voltage does not exceed 600 V. Ensure the five-port layout matches the number of conductors you need to join, as this model does not offer alternative port counts. The connector carries cULus listing to UL 486A and is RoHS compliant, with a maximum operating temperature of 194 degrees F.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the connector is properly seated after tightening the hex screws?

Tighten each 5/16 in hex screw until the stranded copper wire (6 AWG to 250 kcmil) is firmly clamped with no visible conductor exposure.

Does the package include mounting hardware or insulation tape, or must I buy them separately?

The connector body is fully insulated with plastisol finish; no separate tape is required and no mounting hardware is included.

Is the 5-port version the right choice for a 600 V, 194 °F aluminum or copper feed?

Yes — this 5-port multitap is rated 600 V, 194 °F maximum and accepts both aluminum and copper conductors up to 250 kcmil.
