SELECTION STEPS
To accomplish a connection of an 4 AWG Str Al cable .232 in [5.89 mm] with a 10 AWG Sol Cu wire .102 in [2.59 mm] Diameter of the run cable (4 AWG Str Al cable) = .232 in [5.89 mm] Diameter of the tap cable (10 AWG Sol Cu wire) = .102 in [2.59 mm] Total diameters = .334 in [8.48 mm] Conclusion: Search in the table (Sum of the Conductors) the min. and max. range where .334 in [8.48 mm] fits. The recommended connector is WCP3R Type 3.

MICROWEJ COVER

The TRI-FOLD MICROWEJ covers incorporate a positive locking latch along with a positioning post for increased connector secureness and holding strength. Covers are manufactured from a black UV resistant material. Only two covers are required to accommodate the seven MICROWEJ connectors. Covers ordered separately.
