Overview

The ABB Copper C-Tap, SKU 54730, is a high-conductivity copper alloy connector designed for reliable electrical tapping and splicing in industrial and commercial applications. Rated for 600V and a 90°C temperature rating, this C-Tap is UL486A Listed and UL467 Listed for grounding and bonding. It is suitable for use with solid and stranded copper conductors, offering a wide wire range-taking capability to minimize inventory requirements. Specifically, this model accommodates a main conductor range of 4 AWG to 2 AWG and a branch conductor range of 4 AWG to 12 AWG. The compact dimensions, measuring 1-5/32 inches in length and 27/32 inches in height, facilitate installation in space-constrained environments. The connector features a 'C' shape for quick and easy assembly and ensures positive, all-around compression with low resistance and high pull-out values, preventing relaxation of the joint after installation. The Die Code 42, identified by a pink color code, ensures compatibility with specified crimping tools and dies for proper installation. This C-Tap is ideal for electrical contractors and maintenance professionals requiring dependable connections for tapping into unbroken continuous mains, wire joints, or two-way splices. It is designed for Class B or C building wire CU cable only.
