Overview

The Panduit PTC-5/8-26 Grounding Pigtail Style Connector (SKU: PTC-5/8-26) is engineered for robust grounding and bonding applications. Constructed from heavy-wall, extruded, high-conductivity copper, this connector offers superior strength and premium electrical properties essential for reliable grounding systems. Its multi-conductor design provides flexibility, accommodating a wide range of conductor sizes, including 6 AWG Stranded to 4/0 AWG Stranded (10-110mm²) for single cable applications, and 6 AWG Stranded to 2 AWG Stranded (10-35mm²) for double cable configurations. The 5/8" (15.9mm) ground rod size ensures secure attachment to standard grounding rods. Installation is streamlined with a pre-applied conductive antioxidant compound that ensures a high-quality mechanical and electrical bond, significantly speeding up the installation process. This connector is designed for use with copper-clad and stainless steel ground rod types. For proper crimp die selection, the connector is marked with Panduit die index numbers. Crucially, the PTC-5/8-26 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. This listing underscores its suitability for critical infrastructure grounding projects. The connector is manufactured in the USA, ensuring adherence to stringent quality standards. For tin-plated versions suitable for galvanized steel ground rods, add 'TP' to the suffix of the part number.
