The Fig 6 Type Irreversible Compression Connector is a dual-conductor compression lug engineered for joining two continuous parallel conductors in grounding, bonding, and lightning protection applications. The compact copper alloy body is designed for direct burial installations where space for taping is limited. Pre-filled antioxidant compound inhibits corrosion at the termination point. Specifications Conductor range: #6-2STR Configuration: Two continuous parallel conductors Material: Copper alloy Voltage rating: 600 Volts Temperature rating: 90°C heat resistant Pre-filled with anti-oxidant compound UL 467 listed (grounding and bonding) UL96 listed (lightning protection) Application: Direct burial Cross-Reference Equivalent to irreversible compression connectors offered by major electrical manufacturers. Provides comparable performance to branded grounding compression connectors at reduced cost. FAQ What does "irreversible" mean for this compression connector? Irreversible compression connectors are designed for one-time crimping with a compression tool. Once installed, the connector cannot be removed or reused, ensuring a permanent, low-resistance electrical connection required for grounding and lightning protection systems. Is this connector suitable for direct burial without additional protection? The connector is specifically designed for direct burial applications. The pre-filled antioxidant and copper alloy construction provide corrosion resistance. Verify with your local AHJ that installation methods meet NEC Article 250 requirements for grounding electrode conductors. What compression tool and die should I use? Use a compression tool and die set specified by the connector manufacturer for #6-2STR conductor range. Proper die selection is critical to achieve the UL-listed performance. Refer to your compression tool manufacturer's chart for equivalent die codes. Availability: This item ships on our standard restock cycle — typical lead time 2–3 weeks.
