Overview

The ABB Copper C-Tap, SKU 54750, is a heavy-duty compression connector engineered for 600V electrical applications. Designed to tap into unbroken continuous mains, wire joints, or two-way splices, this C-Tap delivers high-strength, high-conductivity copper connections rated for 600V and 90°C operation. The connector accommodates a main wire range of 3/0 AWG to 1/0 AWG (stranded) and a branch wire range of 2 AWG to 1/0 AWG (stranded or solid), making it versatile for a wide range of conductor sizes. Measuring 1-11/16 inches in length and 1-3/16 inches in height, the C-Tap features a plain finish and a yellow die code 62 for easy tool and die selection during crimping. The "C" shape design enables quick installation, reducing labor time while maintaining reliable, long-lasting connections. Ideal for use in panel boards, grounding systems, and electrical distribution networks, the 54750 C-Tap minimizes inventory needs with its wide wire range-taking capability. For optimal performance, always follow the manufacturer's crimping guidelines and use compatible tools and dies.
