Overview

The NSI Industries TCP500 is a heavy-duty, two-bolt bronze plated tap connector engineered for robust electrical connections in industrial and infrastructure applications. Constructed from high-strength bronze castings, this connector ensures exceptional durability and resistance to stress corrosion and season cracking, making it ideal for demanding service environments. Its design features a swiveling cap for quick and easy conductor installation, and a retaining rubber washer to prevent loose parts. The silicon bronze hardware further enhances its longevity and reliability. The TCP500 is dual-rated for use with copper, aluminum, and steel conductors, offering significant versatility for various electrical systems. This connector accommodates main conductors ranging from 500 MCM down to 350 MCM, and tap conductors from 500 MCM down to 4 AWG. Its flat back design also allows for use as a bus tap when paired with longer bolts, providing additional flexibility in installation scenarios. Key specifications include: - Material: High-strength bronze casting with high-conductivity spacer bar - Main conductor range: 500 MCM to 350 MCM - Tap conductor range: 500 MCM to 4 AWG - Connection type: Two-bolt tap connector - Features: Swiveling cap, retaining rubber washer, silicon bronze hardware - Standard carton quantity: 5 units The TCP500 is designed to handle large wire ranges from #14 AWG to 750 MCM, making it suitable for both solid and stranded wires. Its exclusive "turbo spacer" keeps the tap side open while the main conductor is tightened, eliminating the need for a third hand during installation. The connector is watertight and corrosion-free, with a rubber grommet sealing the connection to prevent water migration and contamination between main and tap conductors. Double shear-head bolts ensure a perfect connection every time, eliminating hot spots. This connector is ideal for copper-to-copper, copper-to-aluminum, and aluminum-to-aluminum applications in critical infrastructure, power distribution, and industrial settings where reliable, long-lasting electrical connections are essential.
