Overview

Panduit SBCT8-C split bolt connector is a high-strength copper alloy device with tin plating for corrosion resistance, ensuring long-term durability in harsh environments. Designed for electrical and mechanical reliability, it supports dual-rated connections for both copper and aluminum conductors within a #8 STR to #6 SOL AWG range, making it versatile for various wiring applications. The extra-long body accommodates one or two tap connections to a single run conductor, reducing inventory needs by eliminating the requirement for multiple connector sizes. A hex nut ensures proper torquing with standard tools, while a free-floating pressure bar maintains secure connections across varied conductor combinations, preventing loosening over time. UL-listed and CSA-certified for 600V applications and 90°C temperature ratings, this connector meets stringent safety standards for electrical performance. Its design is suitable for direct burial grounding, making it ideal for outdoor and underground installations where reliability is critical. The SBCT8-C is engineered for industrial, commercial, and utility applications requiring durable, high-performance electrical connections, offering a dependable solution for both temporary and permanent installations.
