3M 20001
Product Overview
The 3M Scotchlok Copper/Aluminum Compression Connectors, 20000 Series, are designed for connecting aluminum and/or copper conductors ranging from 6 AWG through 1000 kcmil (MCM). Constructed from high-conductivity aluminum and electro-tin plated to prevent electrolytic corrosion, these connectors offer a wide application range for low and medium voltage up to 35 kV, suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. They feature chamfered ends and an integral solid center barrier (or bore protrusions for models 20001 and 20002) for easy conductor insertion. Installation is simplified using standard industry tooling, and color-coded end caps facilitate easy identification.

Tool/Installation Information
Connectors are installed using standard industry tooling and must be crimped with approved die sets according to engineering information supplied with the connectors. Consult tool and die manufacturer if using different crimping tools and die sets. The current rating of these connectors meets or exceeds the current rating of the conductor size for which it is intended.
