Eight-Port Insulated Connector

The Polaris nsi IPLD500-8B is an eight-port insulated multitap connector built for joining aluminium and copper conductors in electrical installations. Its plastisol-insulated aluminium body accepts stranded copper wires from 4 AWG up to 500 kcmil per port. The unit measures 9.82 inches long and carries a 600 V maximum voltage rating with a 194 degrees F operating temperature limit. It meets cULus and UL 486A standards and is RoHS compliant.

Installers Needing Multi-Wire Taps

This connector suits electricians and maintenance teams who need to distribute power from a single feed to multiple branch circuits in panels, troughs or junction boxes. The hex-head set screws (5/16 in) allow secure termination without specialised crimp tools. Buyers who require a higher port count, a different voltage class or a connector rated for continuous operation above 194 degrees F should look at alternative products.

Capacity Up to 500 kcmil Per Port

Each of the eight ports comfortably handles stranded copper conductors up to 500 kcmil, providing ample cross-section for heavy feeder taps in commercial and industrial wiring. The 600 V insulation rating covers standard low-voltage distribution systems. The connector runs out of headroom when conductor sizes exceed 500 kcmil, when system voltage surpasses 600 V or when ambient temperatures push beyond the 194 degrees F limit.

Questions about this item

What wire sizes and conductor types can I connect to the eight ports on this Polaris IPLD500-8B multitap?

The connector accepts stranded copper or aluminum conductors from 4 AWG up to 500 kcmil in each of its eight ports.

Will the 5/16-inch hex head on this connector work with the torque wrench I already use for standard lugs?

Yes, the 5/16 in hex size matches common torque tools used for mechanical lugs in the same wire range.

After torquing the set screws, what visual or physical checks confirm the Polaris IPLD500-8B is correctly installed?

Verify each conductor is fully seated, insulation is undamaged, the plastisol body shows no cracks, and all eight hex screws are snug at the recommended torque.
