Overview

The ABB 54790TP Copper C-Tap (SKU: 54790TP) is a heavy-duty, tin-plated copper electrical connector designed for reliable tap connections in industrial and commercial electrical systems. Engineered for high-strength and premium electrical performance, this C-Tap is suitable for solid and stranded copper Code conductors, enabling tapping into unbroken continuous main conductors or use as a wire joint/two-way splice. The wide wire range-taking capability (750 kcmil main, 750-4/0 kcmil branch) minimizes inventory requirements by accommodating multiple wire sizes in a single connector, reducing stocking complexity and costs. Key specifications include a UL-listed and CSA-certified rating for 600V applications at 90°C when crimped with Panduit and specified competitor crimping tools (e.g., Panduit CT-2940/CT-940H with adapter CD-940-DA). The three-crimp design ensures secure mechanical retention and long-term reliability, while the die code 125H guarantees precise crimping for consistent performance. The connector’s heavy-wall construction prevents joint relaxation after installation, maintaining electrical integrity over time. Ideal for applications in electrical panels, control systems, industrial machinery, and commercial wiring, the 54790TP supports parallel and multiple tap connections on Code and Flex conductors (Class G, H, I, and Diesel Locomotive). Its slotted body design allows quick assembly using three UL 94V-0 rated cable ties, streamlining installation without specialized tools. Compatible with AWG wire only (not metric), this connector meets rigorous performance standards for durability and safety in demanding environments.
