Overview

The ABB JAB58 Ground Rod Clamp is a heavy-duty grounding connector designed for secure, long-term electrical connections. This clamp interfaces with 5/8" diameter ground rods, a standard in residential, commercial, and industrial grounding systems. It accommodates wire sizes from 8 AWG solid to 1/0 AWG stranded, covering common conductor gauges used in grounding applications. The JAB58 features a socket set screw mechanism for positive engagement, ensuring a firm grip on both the ground rod and conductor. This design resists loosening from vibration or thermal expansion, maintaining a reliable grounding path over time. The clamp’s bronze alloy construction provides corrosion resistance, while the high-performance stainless steel bolt delivers durability under demanding conditions. With a maximum wire cross-section of 53.4 mm² and minimum of 8.3 mm², the JAB58 meets the demands of high-current grounding systems. Its compact dimensions (A: 1 27/32" socket screw, B: 29/32", C: 1", D: 11/16") allow installation in tight spaces. The JAB58 is part of ABB’s Installation Products line, a trusted brand in electrical infrastructure.
