1.Solder-sweated split tinned connectors manufactured to this standard shall conform to this standard with respect to dimensions, materials, manufacturing processes and packaging, unless otherwise specified by agreement between purchaser and seller.
2.This standard specifies the requirements for solder-sweated split tinned copper connectors commonly used for splicing the conductor portion of paper insulated lead covered medium voltage cables (5kV-69kV), although these connectors may be suitable for splicing other types of electrical conductor. The conductor configuration may be solid, round concentric stranded, round compact stranded, sector stranded and compact sector stranded. This standard includes the requirements for conductor sizes from #8 American Wire Gauge (AWG) to 3000 thousand-circular-mils (kemil).
