Selection Guide
How to Choose the Right Separable Cable Connector
Start with the equipment interface and connector system,
then confirm current rating, cable voltage, conductor size,
cable type, connector design, and the accessory combination required by the project.
Connector System
200A vs 250A vs 600A vs 630A Separable Connectors
200A
Loadbreak connector systems including elbows, bushing inserts,
feedthru inserts, grounding elbows, and related accessories.
250A
Separable elbow and straight connector configurations
for compatible Type A interface systems.
600A
Deadbreak and T-body connector systems with junction
and related connection components.
630A
Screened separable connector systems including T-connectors,
coupling connectors, Type C bushings, and related accessories.
Current rating is only one selection factor; the connector must also match
the required equipment interface and cable configuration.
Operating Design
Loadbreak vs Deadbreak Connector Systems
Loadbreak
Used within RIKI's 200A connector range and includes products
such as loadbreak elbows, bushing inserts, and related accessories.
Deadbreak
Used within the 600A connector range and includes deadbreak
and T-body connector configurations.
Do not substitute one system for another based only on physical appearance.
Confirm the required connector system from the equipment and project specification.
Interface
Type A vs Type C Connector Interfaces
Type A
Associated with RIKI's 250A separable connector range,
including elbow and straight connector configurations.
Type C
Associated with the 630A screened separable connector range
and related T-connector, coupling, and bushing configurations.
Interface type should be confirmed from the connected equipment,
drawing, or technical specification before product approval.
RFQ Information
What to Confirm Before Requesting a Connector Quote
Connector Series
Identifies whether the project requires a 200A, 250A,
600A, 630A, loadbreak, deadbreak, or screened connector system.
Cable Parameters
Cable voltage, conductor size, cable type, and related dimensions
help determine the correct connector configuration.
Equipment Interface
Interface information is required to match the connector,
bushing, insert, and related system components correctly.
Drawings, existing model references, and equipment specifications
are useful when the interface cannot be identified from the product name alone.
Advanced Note
Do Not Select Separable Connectors by Current Rating Alone
A 200A, 250A, 600A, or 630A rating does not fully define the required product.
Buyers should also confirm the connector family, interface type, cable voltage,
conductor size, cable construction, equipment connection point,
and required accessories before approving a configuration.
For replacement or project matching, photographs and drawings of the existing
connector and equipment interface can help reduce selection errors.
