Conversions Tech Insulated Tap Connectors — 2 AWG to 14 AWG (NEC 230.46 Compliant)
Conversions Tech Insulated Tap Connectors deliver fast, code-compliant, and maintenance-free line-side splicing for copper or aluminum conductors. Each connector is factory-insulated, pre-filled with oxide inhibitor gel, and rated for 600 V / 130 A continuous duty in harsh indoor or outdoor environments. Built to NEC 230.46 and UL 486A/B standards, these connectors are the professional choice for service entrance, switchgear, and renewable-energy installations.
Key Features and Advantages
- Secure Set-Screw Design (3/8″): Precision-machined binding screws generate uniform high-pressure contact for a vibration-resistant, low-millivolt-drop joint.
- Dual-Sided Wire Entry: Opposing conductor ports accept 2 AWG to 14 AWG wires, enabling flexible layouts and compact tap splicing in confined panels.
- NEC 230.46 & UL 486A/B Certified: Verified for service-equipment line-side use under UL File E186991; suitable for both copper and aluminum conductors (AL9CU rated).
- Pre-Filled Oxide Inhibitor: Conductive anti-oxidation gel preserves joint integrity, preventing galvanic corrosion and maintaining low resistance over decades of service.
- UV-Resistant Plastisol Insulation: Thick black plastisol jacket shields against sunlight, ozone, oils, and mechanical abrasion down to −45 °C.
- Removable Debris Plugs: Protective caps keep contaminants out of set-screw cavities during rough-in and storage.
- Compact Ergonomic Profile: Rounded housing improves installer grip and safety when working in energized equipment zones.
- Wide Compatibility: Dual-rated AL9CU construction supports both aluminum and copper conductors in Class B or Class C stranding.
- RoHS Compliant: Free from restricted hazardous substances for environmental safety.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. What is the function of an insulated tap connector?
It provides a safe, compact method to join or tap multiple conductors while maintaining dielectric insulation. The insulated housing prevents accidental contact and meets NEC 230.46 for line-side splicing.
2. Can I use these connectors with both copper and aluminum wire?
Yes. They are dual-rated (AL9CU) for direct termination of copper or aluminum conductors, avoiding the need for transition lugs.
3. How many conductors can be connected at once?
The dual-sided design supports two conductors per side — up to four total — depending on gauge and application requirements.
4. What torque should I apply to the set screws?
Follow UL torque values: 35 in-lb for 10–14 AWG and 50 in-lb for 2–3 AWG conductors to ensure proper compression without damaging the wire.
5. Is the connector UL Listed and NEC compliant?
Yes. It is cULus Listed under UL File E186991 and meets UL 486A/B and NEC 230.46 for line-side service equipment connections.
6. How does the oxide inhibitor improve performance?
The conductive gel prevents oxidation and galvanic corrosion between aluminum and copper conductors, preserving low resistance and extending service life.
7. What environmental conditions can these connectors handle?
They operate from −45 °C to +90 °C and withstand UV exposure, chemicals, and moisture in indoor or outdoor installations.
8. Do I need additional insulating tape or heat shrink?
No. The factory-molded plastisol insulation provides full dielectric protection — no extra taping is required unless specified by local code.
9. Are these connectors re-usable?
They are rated for permanent installations. While set screws can be re-tightened, re-use is not recommended once oxide inhibitor is displaced.
10. Where are Conversions Tech insulated taps manufactured?
All units are manufactured and quality-tested in the United States to UL and cULus specifications for industrial-grade performance.
