Overview

The Panduit MGC2-4-Q is a robust mechanical grounding connector designed for reliable connections between two copper conductors and a 1/4" thick bar. This connector is engineered to accommodate a wide range of copper conductor sizes, specifically from 8 AWG solid to 4 AWG stranded, ensuring flexibility for various grounding applications. It features a 3/8" stud for secure attachment. Constructed from high-conductivity copper, the MGC2-4-Q provides excellent electrical properties and high strength for durable performance. The connector comes with a pre-applied conductive antioxidant compound, which ensures a strong mechanical and electrical bond, facilitating faster and more efficient installation. This feature also helps prevent oxidation and corrosion at the connection point, maintaining the integrity of the grounding system over time. The Panduit MGC2-4-Q is marked with Panduit die index numbers for proper tool selection during installation, simplifying the process and reducing the potential for errors. This connector is suitable for conductor-to-conductor and conductor-to-ground rod applications, offering versatility in grounding system design. Its material composition and design contribute to a high-quality mechanical and electrical bond, crucial for effective grounding and safety.
