Overview

ABB 2042-18 is a tin-plated bronze threaded transformer spade designed for secure electrical connections in transformer installations. This component features a 1-inch stud tapped 1-14 UNS-2B, compatible with 1/2-inch bolts, and mounts to a 4-hole NEMA pad measuring 3.5 inches wide by 4 inches long by 1/4 inch thick. The NEMA pad includes bolt holes sized at 9/16 inches for standard mounting hardware. The tin plating provides corrosion resistance in industrial environments, while the bronze base ensures mechanical strength and conductivity. This spade is ideal for transformer secondary connections, grounding systems, and high-current applications where reliable, low-resistance terminations are critical. The 4-hole NEMA pad design allows for versatile mounting options on transformers, switchgear, or control panels. Compliance with NEMA standards ensures compatibility with standard transformer configurations. The 1-14 UNS-2B thread specification matches common transformer stud sizes, reducing installation complexity. This product is part of ABB’s Installation Products line, known for reliable electrical components in industrial and utility applications.
