Overview

The Panduit VT-3-12 (SKU: VT-3-12) is a heavy-duty, two-bolt bronze connector designed for reliable copper-to-copper connections in industrial electrical systems. This Type VT connector is engineered to accommodate a wide range of conductor sizes, featuring a 250-350 kcmil run capacity and a #10 STR-350 kcmil tap capacity. Its construction from high-strength bronze castings ensures resistance to stress corrosion and season cracking, providing assurance against performance degradation. The two-bolt design facilitates a secure and tight connection, crucial for maintaining optimal conductivity and preventing loose connections in high-current applications. Suitable for use as a wire joint or a two-way splice, the VT-3-12 minimizes inventory requirements due to its broad wire range-taking capability. It is UL listed and CSA certified to 600 V and temperature rated 90°C when crimped with specified Panduit tools and dies. Ideal for power distribution, substations, and general industrial electrical installations, this connector offers dependable performance. The silicon bronze hardware further enhances its durability. Manufactured in the USA.
