Overview

The ABB Copper C-Tap, identified by SKU 54705, is a UL Listed and CSA Certified compression connector specifically engineered for 600V applications within industrial and commercial electrical systems. This C-Tap is constructed from high-conductivity copper, a material chosen for its exceptional electrical properties, ensuring the creation of reliable, low-resistance connections. These connections are further enhanced by superior pull-out strength, a critical factor for long-term electrical system integrity. The design of this connector adheres to and meets the stringent requirements of NEC 250-81 and 250-91, which pertain to grounding and bonding. The physical dimensions of the ABB Copper C-Tap are notably compact, featuring a length of 5/16 Inch and a height of 5/16 Inch. This compact design is advantageous for installations where space is limited, allowing for robust connectivity without compromising on physical constraints. The connector demonstrates significant versatility in its wire range capabilities. It is designed to accommodate main conductors within the 14-12 AWG range, while the branch conductors can be within the 16-14 AWG range. This broad wire range-taking capability simplifies inventory management by reducing the need for multiple connector types for different wire sizes. The ABB Copper C-Tap features a plain finish, contributing to its durability and resistance to environmental factors. For ease of identification and to ensure proper tool compatibility, it is marked with a red die color code, corresponding to Die Code 21. This specific die code is crucial for ensuring correct crimping and compatibility with standard Panduit and competitor crimping tools, guaranteeing a secure and effective connection. The heavy-wall construction of this C-Tap is a key feature that prevents joint relaxation over time after installation, a common issue that can lead to connection degradation. ABB Installation Products offers this C-Tap as a dependable solution for electrical connections that consistently meet rigorous industry standards.
