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: Utilizes adjustable set screws and a rounded body design to create a high-pressure connection between conductors, ensuring reliability and minimal electrical resistance.
- Dual-Sided Wire Entry: Features dual entry ports on opposing sides, allowing for flexible conductor placement and accommodating wires ranging from 2 AWG to 14 AWG.
- NEC 230.46 Compliance: Adheres to National Electrical Code (NEC) Article 230.46, suitable for line side connections on service equipment.
- Ergonomic Design: Rounded body with smooth plastisol insulation for comfortable gripping during installation.
- Removable Plugs: Each port and set screw includes a removable plug to prevent debris, moisture, and contaminants from entering the connector body.
- Pre-Filled Oxide Inhibitor: Entry ports pre-filled with oxide inhibitor gel to prevent corrosion, ensuring low and stable electrical resistance over time.
- Professional Performance: Durable plastisol insulation resists UV radiation, abrasion, and chemicals, ensuring reliable performance and extended service life.
