Aluminum 5 Hole Neutral Bar 14-4 STR

Aluminum connectors are tin-plated to minimize contact resistance and can be used with both copper and aluminum conductors. They are dual-rated for compatibility with both types of cables. Copper connectors, on the other hand, are designed specifically for use with copper wire only.

Specifications:

• Material: Aluminum
• Number of Holes: 5
• Wire Range: 14-4 STR (This means it is compatible with stranded wires ranging from 14 AWG to 4 AWG.)

Uses:

1. Electrical Panels: Neutral bars are typically used in electrical panels or load centers to provide a common neutral point for circuits. They are essential in distributing the neutral connections from various circuits.

2. Neutral Bus Bars: They serve as neutral bus bars in electrical systems, where they consolidate the neutral wires from different circuits into a single neutral connection.

3. Grounding and Bonding: In some configurations, they can be used for grounding and bonding purposes, ensuring that all neutral connections are properly grounded.

4. Residential and Commercial Wiring: This type of neutral bar is used in both residential and commercial wiring systems, helping to maintain electrical safety and functionality by properly managing neutral connections.

Installation:

• Mounting: The neutral bar is typically mounted on the interior of an electrical panel using screws or other fastening methods.
• Wiring: Wires are attached to the neutral bar via the holes, which are designed to accommodate different wire gauges within the specified range.
