Insulated Tap connectors are a line of pre-insulated electrical connectors designed for forming secure connections between multiple conductors. These connectors offer several key advantages:
Key Advantages
- Secure Connections: Utilize adjustable set screws and a rounded body design for a reliable, long-lasting connection with minimal electrical resistance.
- Dual-Sided Wire Entry: Each connector features dual entry ports on opposing sides, allowing for flexible conductor placement and accommodating various wiring configurations. These ports are sized for wires ranging from 1/0 AWG to 14 AWG.
- NEC 230.46 Compliance: Adheres to National Electrical Code (NEC) Article 230.46 requirements, suitable for line side connections on service equipment.
- Ergonomic Design: Rounded body and smooth plastisol insulation finish for comfortable gripping during installation.
- Removable Plugs: Each port and set screw come equipped with a removable plug to prevent debris, moisture, and contaminants from entering the connector body before and during wire insertion.
- Pre-Filled Oxide Inhibitor: Both entry ports are pre-filled with an oxide inhibitor gel. This gel helps to prevent corrosion at the conductor-to-connector interface, ensuring a low and stable electrical resistance over time.
- Professional Performance: The durable plastisol insulation coating on each connector offers superior resistance to UV radiation, abrasion, and chemicals. This ensures reliable performance and extended service life in various environmental conditions.
