The H-Tap Compression Connector creates secondary taps on main conductors in overhead and distribution systems, supporting aluminum-to-aluminum and aluminum-to-copper combinations for secondary splice or tap applications. Constructed from 1350 aluminum alloy, the connector provides high strength and conductivity while its tin plating and pre-filled oxide inhibitor offer corrosion resistance.
The field-proven ribbed design ensures reliable contact with conductors without distorting their shape. Fold-in tabs create a positive interlock as the compression tool closes, enhancing connection security and stability during installation. This design enables lower connection costs and simplified installation procedures, reducing labor and time requirements.
Installation uses standard compression tools with O and D dies, requiring no special equipment. The connector accommodates conductor sizes from 2 American Wire Gauge (AWG) to 500 kcmil for run conductors, with similar ranges for tap conductors. It supports both solid and stranded conductors with a 600 V voltage rating and operating temperatures up to 90°C.
The H-Tap Compression Connector complies with ANSI C119.4 standards and is RUS Accepted, meeting rigorous performance and safety requirements for regulated electrical systems.
