How to Use an Insulation Piercing Connector TTD051FJ2TA?

Insulation piercing connectors (IPCs), such as the TTD051FJ2TA, are revolutionary in low-voltage and medium-voltage cable connections, particularly for outdoor applications like street lighting, solar farms, and industrial wiring.

The TTD051FJ2TA is designed for low-voltage overhead cable connections, with main conductor sizes ranging from 16–95mm² and branch conductor sizes from 1.5–10mm².

As analogs of the TTD051FJ2TA, the IPC ZOP-45 and ZOP-45P have an applicable conductor size range that covers that of the TTD051FJ2TA.

• Comparison Sheet

The IPC ZOP-45 and ZOP-45P are made by Jera Line, a leading manufacturer from China.

Below is the installation guide from Jera Line to show how to install an Insulation piercing connector (IPC).

• Installation Steps:

1. Check the IPC model against the cable specifications: the material (Jera Line’s IPC suitable for Al and Cu conductor) and cross-sectional area of both the main cable and the branch cable must fall within the range marked on the connector.
2. Remove oil stains, oxide layers, and dust from the cable connection area to prevent impurities from affecting electrical conductivity.
3. Open the housing to expose the piercing teeth and cable slots. Place the cables into the corresponding slots, ensuring that the center of the cable insulation layer is aligned with the piercing teeth without any deviation.
4. Align the torque wrench with the connector bolt, and tighten it slowly until the torque head separates. You can use Jera Line’s holding tool JTN-7 to hold IPC for safer installation and dielectric torque wrench JTN-11-13 for quick tightening
5. Check the appearance, electrical performance, and sealing condition after installation.
