Customizable with an optional voltage detection point and special material composition for harsh environment.
Our Raychem RPIT Plug-In Terminations separable connectors are designed for both aluminum or copper conductors in accordance with IEC 60228 and are compatible with inner cone bushings size 2 (800 A) and size 3 (1250 A) as per EN 50180/EN 50181. RPIT product series are available for system voltages from 12 kV up to 52 kV for any type of cable and are compliant with CENELEC HD 629.1.S2:2006- A1:2008 (up to 42 kV) and IEC 60840 (52 kV). In addition, RPIT terminations can be customized with an optional voltage detection point and a special material composition for harsh environments.
The inner cone termination incorporates a high-quality contact system which ensures reliable current transmission from the cable conductor to the busbar. The electrical interfaces between the silicone stress relief cone to the cable and the bushing are kept permanently sealed using a pressure component. This element is housed in the protection cover, which is sealed with heat-shrinkable tubing.
We make the installation and plug-in of inner cone terminations simple by using silicone component and offering an easy-to-handle installation tool, which is compatible with industry-wide standards.

Frequently Asked Questions
Question: Which voltage range do the plug-in termination systems cover?
Answer: Our Raychem RPIT for inner cone bushings, size 3, can cover voltages up to 52 kV (1250 A), and inner cone bushings, size 2, covers up to 42 kV (800 A).
Question: Can RPIT size 3 cover 1000 mm² up to 42 kV cable?
Answer: Yes, with our recent application range extension in 2021, TE can cover 1000 mm2 up to 42 kV cable with size 3. Before that, a size 4 bushing rated at 72 kV was used by switchgear manufacturers.
Question: Do the Plug-In Termination Systems have field service experience?
Answer: Our plug-in termination systems have been used all around the world since 2006 in applications such as railway, metro, oil and gas production, and wind energy production.
Question: Does TE offer any installation training for the Raychem RPIT Plug-In Termination systems?
Answer: Yes, our plug-In terminations are part of our cable accessories training programme. To learn more about our installation training programme, visit TE.com/trainingcenter.
Question: Is there any specific tool available to install Plug-In Termination Systems?
