Overview

The ABB GR34-4010 E-Z-Ground Pigtail Copper Compression Connector is a high-conductivity grounding solution engineered for direct burial and concrete installations. Designed for cable ranges from 4/0 to 1/0 AWG and compatible with 3/4-inch ground rods, this heavy-wall, extruded copper connector delivers superior electrical performance and mechanical strength. The pre-applied conductive antioxidant compound ensures long-term corrosion resistance and a reliable mechanical-electrical bond, reducing installation time while maintaining system integrity. The connector features Panduit die index markings for precise crimp die selection, ensuring optimal performance with TBM14M, 13100A, or TBM151 dies. Compatible with copper-clad, solid copper, and stainless steel ground rods, this pigtail design eliminates the need for multiple components, streamlining inventory and installation. With dimensions of 0.75" (19.1 mm) in length, 0.56" (14.29 mm) in width, and 1.37" (34.8 mm) in height, the GR34-4010 is ideal for critical electrical systems, telecommunications infrastructure, and industrial equipment where robust grounding is essential. A tin-plated version (-TP suffix) is available for galvanized ground rods.
