Overview

The ABB E-Z-Ground Copper Compression Connector (SKU: 53060) is a high-conductivity grounding solution engineered for secure, low-resistance connections in industrial, commercial, and utility applications. This connector accommodates 1/0 to 2/0 AWG solid or stranded copper cables, 1/0 to 2/0 AWG taps, and 1/2 or 5/8 inch ground rods, providing versatile compatibility for grounding and bonding systems. Constructed from heavy-wall, extruded copper, it delivers superior electrical performance and mechanical strength while minimizing installation time through its pre-applied conductive antioxidant compound, which ensures a high-quality mechanical and electrical bond. The compression design meets UL 486A and UL 486B standards for wire-to-wire applications up to 35 kV and 90°C when crimped with approved tools, making it suitable for direct burial in earth or concrete. Marked with Panduit die index numbers for proper crimp die selection, this connector supports copper clad, solid copper, and stainless steel ground rod types. Ideal for utility substations, telecommunications infrastructure, industrial facilities, and commercial buildings, the E-Z-Ground connector reduces inventory requirements with its wide range-taking capability and multi-conductor design. Backed by ABB’s reputation for reliability, this connector is a cost-effective solution for grounding systems requiring UL-listed, CSA-certified components.
