Overview

The ABB E-Z-Ground C-Tap (SKU: CTP25020TP) is a tin-plated copper compression connector engineered for grounding and bonding applications in electrical installations. This C-tap connector bridges a main cable range from 3/0 stranded to 250 kcmil to a tap conductor from #6 solid to #2 stranded, providing a secure mechanical and electrical connection without soldering or welding. The connector measures 2 inches long, 3/4 inch wide, and 59/64 inch deep, fitting standard junction boxes and enclosures. Its tin plating enhances corrosion resistance, ensuring long-term conductivity in damp or industrial environments. The compression design delivers consistent clamping force, reducing installation time and eliminating the need for specialized tools beyond a standard compression tool. Designed for compatibility with copper conductors only, the CTP25020TP meets UL 467 and NEC standards for grounding and bonding applications, including service entrances, panelboards, and distribution equipment. The connector is suitable for residential, commercial, and light industrial wiring systems where space and reliability are critical. Its compact dimensions allow for efficient use in tight spaces while maintaining compliance with electrical safety regulations. The tin-plated copper construction ensures durability and resistance to oxidation, making it ideal for both indoor and outdoor installations. The compression mechanism provides a gas-tight seal, preventing moisture ingress and ensuring a stable electrical connection over time. This connector is part of ABB’s E-Z-Ground series, which is specifically designed to simplify tap connections in complex wiring configurations.
