C-Tap Compression Connectors join wires in electrical contracting work through splicing or tapping into a continuous main. They enable pigtailing to connect existing wiring to new circuits, maintaining electrical flow during upgrades such as transitioning aluminum systems to copper where codes permit.<\/p>\n

Made from high conductivity wrought copper with a plain finish, these connectors deliver efficient electrical performance. Their positive all-around compression creates low resistance and high pull-out values for secure connections. Heavy reinforcing ribs locate compression dies and strengthen the compressed joint, enhancing reliability.<\/p>\n

The connectors accommodate American Wire Gauge (AWG) run conductors from 6 to 250 kcmil and tap conductors from 12 AWG to 250 kcmil, handling both solid and stranded types. A color-keyed compression system provides color-coded marks during crimping for easy identification. Compatible mechanical crimping tools feature ergonomic handles and color-coded die sets for precise installation.<\/p>\n

Rated for voltages up to 600 volts (some variants to 35 kilovolts) and temperatures to 90 degrees Celsius, they meet Underwriters Laboratories (UL), Canadian Standards Association (CSA), Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS), and Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) standards. Certain models support direct burial applications.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
