Overview

The ABB 54735TP Copper C-Tap (SKU: 54735TP) is a UL-listed and CSA-certified electrical connector designed for reliable 600V applications in industrial, commercial, and electrical panel installations. Engineered from high-conductivity copper with a tin-plated finish, this C-Tap ensures superior corrosion resistance and long-term durability in demanding environments. Its wide wire range-taking capability accommodates main conductor sizes from 3 AWG to 1 AWG and branch circuits from 3 AWG to 12 AWG, minimizing inventory requirements and simplifying procurement. The 7/8-inch size and 1-11/16-inch length provide precise fitment for secure installations, while the black die color code (Die Code 45) enables quick identification during assembly. Compatible with solid and stranded copper conductors, the 54735TP is ideal for tapping into unbroken continuous main conductors, creating wire joints, or forming two-way splices. When crimped with Panduit and specified competitor crimping tools and dies, it delivers low-resistance connections with high pull-out values, meeting NEC 250-81 and 250-91 requirements for grounding electrode systems. The connector’s heavy-duty construction prevents joint relaxation post-installation, ensuring consistent performance in temperature-rated 90°C environments. Trust ABB’s expertise in installation products for a dependable solution in control systems, machinery wiring, and electrical infrastructure projects.
