ILSACMN-250 ILSCO PIN REDUCER

A pin reducer (or pigtail adaptor) lets you terminate a large incoming cable — in this case 250 MCM aluminum — into a smaller-diameter pin (approx. 3/0 AWG) that fits equipment terminals or lugs designed for a reduced pin size. This is common when connecting large service or feeder conductors to meter sockets, panelboards, or switchboard terminals that accept a standard pin rather than a full-bore lug.

Yes. The ACMN-250 is specifically designed for aluminum compression applications and carries a cULus listing, making it acceptable for use under the Canadian Electrical Code (CEC). Its tin-plated barrel helps prevent the oxidation issues sometimes associated with bare aluminum terminations. Always follow the manufacturer's installation instructions regarding proper compression tool and die selection.

ILSCO recommends using a compatible hydraulic or mechanical compression tool with the correct die for a 250 MCM aluminum compression connector. The exact die code is specified on the ILSCO cut sheet for this part — refer to the manufacturer's datasheet (linked in the product specs) or contact our team and we can point you to the right tooling for a proper, code-compliant crimp.
