Overview

The Panduit CTAPR2/0-2-L Compression Connector Tap (SKU: CTAPR2/0-2-L) is engineered for robust electrical connections in demanding applications. This heavy-duty tap is constructed from extruded, high-conductivity copper, ensuring superior strength and premium electrical properties. It is specifically designed for use with solid and stranded copper Code conductors, facilitating conductor-to-conductor tapping and conductor-to-ground rod connections. The wide wire range-taking capability of this connector minimizes inventory requirements, offering flexibility with a reduced part count. Its multi-conductor design further enhances its versatility for various tapping needs. Installation is streamlined due to the pre-applied conductive antioxidant compound, which ensures a high-quality mechanical and electrical bond, accelerating the installation process. The connector is clearly marked with Panduit die index numbers, simplifying the selection of the correct crimp die for optimal performance. This ensures a reliable and secure connection every time. Safety and reliability are paramount, with the CTAPR2/0-2-L holding multiple critical certifications. It is UL 467 Listed for grounding and bonding applications, making it suitable for direct burial in earth and concrete when properly crimped with select Panduit or specified competitor crimp tools and dies. Furthermore, it is UL 486A-486B Listed for wire-to-wire power applications up to 35kV and is temperature rated for 90°C, again when used with appropriate crimping tools and dies. This makes it a dependable choice for both grounding and power distribution systems. The main conductor range is 1 STR – 2/0 STR (50 mm²), and the tap conductor range is 6 STR – 2 STR (16 – 25 STR) or 6 SOL – 1 SOL (16 – 35 SOL). The ground rod size compatibility is 0.375 inches (9.0 mm). Dimensions are 0.72 inches (18.2 mm) in length, 1.43 inches (36.3 mm) in height, and 0.72 inches (18.2 mm) in width. The Panduit die index code is PO, and it comes in a standard package quantity of 10.
