Overview

The ABB 54715TPTC Copper C-Tap is a UL486A-listed and CSA-certified electrical connector engineered for reliable 600V applications in industrial and commercial wiring systems. This heavy-duty C-Tap accommodates a main wire range of 6-8 AWG and a branch wire range of 8-12 AWG, supporting both solid and stranded copper conductors. The tin-plated finish ensures superior corrosion resistance, extending service life in harsh environments while maintaining low contact resistance. With a compact footprint measuring 9/16 inch in length and 5/8 inch in height, it fits space-constrained installations without sacrificing performance. The gray die color code (29) enables quick identification and inventory management, aligning with industry-standard coding practices. Certified for 90°C temperature ratings, this connector meets NEC 250-81 and 250-91 requirements for grounding electrode system connections. Compatible with Panduit and specified competitor crimping tools, the 54715TPTC delivers consistent, high-strength compression with high pull-out values, reducing installation time and minimizing inventory requirements through its wide wire range-taking capability. Ideal for tapping unbroken continuous main conductors, creating wire joints, or two-way splices, this C-Tap from ABB Installation Products is trusted by professionals for durable, efficient electrical system performance.
