Overview

The Panduit PTC-3/4-140 Grounding Pigtail Style Connector is engineered for reliable grounding and bonding applications. This connector is designed to interface with 3/4" (19.1mm) ground rods and accommodates single conductors ranging from 1/0 AWG Stranded to 4/0 AWG Stranded (50-110mm²). Constructed from heavy-wall, extruded, high-conductivity copper, it ensures robust mechanical strength and superior electrical performance. The pre-applied conductive antioxidant compound facilitates a high-quality mechanical and electrical bond, streamlining the installation process. This connector is suitable for use with copper-clad and stainless steel ground rod types. It is marked with Panduit die index numbers to ensure proper crimp die selection. The PTC-3/4-140 is UL 467 Listed for grounding and bonding, making it suitable for direct burial in earth and concrete when crimped with select Panduit and specified competitor crimp tools and dies. For tin-plated versions suitable for galvanized steel ground rods, add 'TP' to the suffix. Manufacturer: Panduit. SKU: PTC-3/4-140.
