Overview

The ABB BC44 C-Crimps Copper Compression Connector is a precision-engineered solution for copper conductor applications in electrical installations. This connector supports two critical conductor combinations: a main run from #6 AWG solid to #4 AWG stranded, and a tap connection from #4 AWG solid to #4 AWG stranded. With a compact length of 41/64 inch and a height of 51/64 inch, the BC44 is optimized for tight spaces while maintaining robust electrical contact integrity. Manufactured by ABB Installation Products, a leader in electrical connection solutions, the BC44 ensures reliable performance in branch circuit and feeder applications. The compression design provides a permanent, gas-tight connection that resists vibration and corrosion, reducing the risk of loose connections and electrical faults. Compatible with standard copper conductors and designed for use with ABB’s range of installation tools, the BC44 simplifies installation while meeting NEC and UL requirements for conductor compatibility and ampacity. The high-conductivity copper construction ensures superior tensile strength and excellent corrosion resistance, making it suitable for 600V applications. The chamfered barrel facilitates easy wire insertion, and the compact, low-profile design minimizes space usage in cable trays or wire runs. Installation is straightforward with ABB’s compression tools and dies, ensuring consistent, repeatable results.
