Overview

The Panduit PTC-1/2-26 Grounding Pigtail Style Connector is a high-conductivity copper grounding solution designed for industrial and utility applications requiring reliable bonding to 1/2" (12.7mm) ground rods. This connector supports single cable ranges from 6 AWG to 3/0 AWG (10-85mm²) and double cable ranges from 6 AWG to 2 AWG (10-35mm²), providing versatile compatibility with stranded and solid copper conductors. Constructed from heavy-wall, extruded high-conductivity copper, the PTC-1/2-26 delivers premium electrical performance and mechanical strength, ensuring long-term durability in demanding environments. Key features include a pre-applied conductive antioxidant compound that accelerates installation and guarantees a high-quality mechanical and electrical bond. The connector is UL 467 Listed for grounding and bonding applications, suitable for direct burial in earth or concrete when crimped with select Panduit or approved competitor tools and dies. Applications include grounding and bonding in electrical infrastructure, power distribution systems, telecommunications, and industrial facilities. The connector's wide range-taking ability reduces inventory requirements by accommodating multiple conductor sizes in a single part, streamlining procurement and installation processes. For enhanced corrosion resistance in harsh environments, tin-plated versions of the connector are available (add "TP" to the suffix).

How to Install the PTC-1/2-26 Grounding Connector

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing the PTC-1/2-26 grounding connector, ensuring a secure and reliable connection.

Estimated time: 30m

Tools needed:

Wire strippers, Crimping tool, Multimeter

Supplies needed:

PTC-1/2-26 connectors, Copper clad ground rod, Wire connectors

  1. Prepare the ground rod

    Clean the copper clad ground rod and ensure it is free of any debris or oxidation before installation.

  2. Connect the wires

    Insert the stripped ends of the wires into the PTC-1/2-26 connector. Ensure that the wires are fully seated within the connector.

  3. Crimp the connector

    Using the appropriate crimping tool, securely crimp the PTC-1/2-26 connector onto the wires. Verify the crimping by pulling gently on the wires.

  4. Test the connection

    Use a multimeter to check the continuity of the connection. Ensure that there is a low resistance reading to confirm a proper connection.
