How to Install the C-Tap Compression Connectors

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing C-Tap compression connectors for 600V applications, ensuring secure and reliable electrical connections.

Estimated time: 30m

Tools needed:

Wire strippers, Crimping tool, Wire brush or emery cloth

Supplies needed:

C-Tap connectors, Shrink tubing (if required), Insulation materials

  1. Prepare the cable

    Strip the insulation from the cable to the specified length, ensuring not to nick the cable strands. Clean the cable end with a wire brush or emery cloth.

  2. Position the C-Tap

    Place the C-Tap connector over the main cable and the branch cable as shown in the installation figures. Ensure proper alignment.

  3. Crimp the connector

    Select the appropriate crimping die for the C-Tap connector. Orient the C-Tap in the crimping tool and crimp between the color bands marked on the connector, starting from the center and working towards the ends. Repeat on the other side.

  4. Finish the installation

    After crimping, remove any sharp edges, flash, or burrs from the connector. If necessary, apply shrink tubing to insulate the connection.
