Overview

The ABB HTC2S H-Tap Insulating Hard Cover provides durable, UL 94V-0 rated protection for H-type compression taps in industrial and commercial electrical installations. Designed for 600V maximum and 90°C maximum operating temperatures, this black thermoplastic Noryl cover ensures reliable insulation and protection against electrical flash-over. The HTC2S features a high-impact outer shell with a black neoprene sponge inner seal (oxygen index 28%, UL 94 HBF) for environmental sealing and vibration resistance. Its dual self-latching spring-loaded design secures the cover without tools, while integrated label retainer strips allow bidirectional viewing and label protection. The cover includes two UL 94V-0 rated cable ties for assembly and features flexible end fingers to prevent foreign object entry and maintain conductor insulation integrity. Molded flash barriers enhance electrical isolation, and the low-profile design minimizes space requirements while enabling 360° visibility of crimped connections for die verification. The HTC2S measures 2 inches in length, 1⅛ inches in thickness, and 1⅛ inches in width, accommodating H-type compression taps in splice boxes, indoor tray applications, or similar environments. Note: Insulation covers are not reusable. Consult factory for flame-retardant versions.
