Overview

The ABB Copper C-Tap (SKU: 54710) is a UL Listed and CSA Certified compression connector designed for secure, low-resistance electrical connections in industrial and commercial applications. Rated for 600V and 90°C, this C-Tap accommodates 10-8 AWG solid or stranded copper conductors for main connections and 10-12 AWG for branch circuits, reducing inventory requirements with its wide wire range-taking capability. The compact design features a 9/16" length and 7/16" height, making it ideal for space-constrained installations without sacrificing performance. Engineered for durability, the C-Tap provides high pull-out values and consistent reliability, meeting NEC 250-81 and 250-91 requirements for grounding electrode system connections. The blue die code (Die Code 24) ensures compatibility with standard crimping tools, including Panduit and approved competitors, for uniform, high-strength crimps. Its heavy-duty copper construction resists corrosion and maintains electrical integrity in demanding environments, from power distribution to HVAC systems. Key applications include tapping into continuous main conductors, creating wire joints, or forming two-way splices. The C-Tap is UL486A Listed for wire connections and UL467 Listed for grounding and bonding, ensuring compliance with safety standards. For applications exceeding 2000V, consult the cable manufacturer for voltage stress relief instructions. Trust ABB’s legacy of precision engineering for dependable, long-term electrical performance.
