Conversions Tech Insulated Tap Connector — 2-Port, Single-Side Entry (14–4 AWG)
Ensure secure, code-compliant connections with the Conversions Tech 2-Port Insulated Tap Connector. Engineered for fast, low-resistance terminations, this NEC §230.46-compliant tap block accommodates both solid and stranded copper or aluminum conductors ranging from 14 AWG to 4 AWG. The factory-injected gel seal creates a gas-tight, corrosion-resistant interface that withstands vibration and thermal cycling—making it ideal for residential, commercial, and industrial applications.
Key Features
- Secure Connections: Dual set screws and a precision-machined core deliver stable, low-resistance terminations.
- Single-Side Wire Entry: Simplifies conductor access and installation in compact panels or wireways.
- NEC §230.46 Compliant: UL and cULus certified for line-side service tap use in 600 V applications.
- Ergonomic Design: Rounded plastisol housing provides a safe grip and complete dielectric insulation.
- Removable Port Plugs: Protects ports from dust and moisture during service or maintenance.
- Pre-Filled Oxide Inhibitor: Gel-filled ports eliminate oxidation and maintain consistent electrical resistance.
- UV-Resistant Insulation: Plastisol shell resists sunlight, abrasion, and harsh environmental exposure.
- Maintenance-Free Interface: Sealed design removes the need for additional oxide inhibitor or field maintenance.

FAQs (Click to Expand)
1. What wire sizes does this connector support?
It accepts 14 AWG to 4 AWG conductors, either solid or stranded, copper or aluminum.
2. Is it NEC §230.46 compliant?
Yes — the connector is UL 486A/B listed and fully compliant with NEC §230.46 for factory-sealed insulated tap connectors.
3. What does “single-side entry” mean?
All wire ports are aligned on one side, simplifying installation in narrow gutters, panels, and metering compartments.
4. Can I use both copper and aluminum conductors?
Yes. The connector is AL9CU-rated for both copper and aluminum conductors, with factory-applied oxide inhibitor for galvanic protection.
5. Is it suitable for outdoor use?
Yes. The UV-resistant plastisol insulation protects against sunlight, weather, and chemicals for long-term outdoor reliability.
6. Do I need to apply additional anti-oxidant compound?
No. Each port is pre-filled with conductive gel to prevent oxidation and ensure a gas-tight seal.
7. How should I torque the set screws?
Use a calibrated torque wrench and tighten to 45–50 in-lb for 4 AWG aluminum conductors (or as labeled on the connector body).
8. Can the connector be reused?
Yes. Remove the plug, inspect the gel cavity, and re-terminate according to UL 486A/B requirements for reuse.
9. What is the rated continuous current?
It supports 130 A (Cu) or 100 A (Al) continuous current at 90 °C.
10. Where can I access CAD drawings or spec data?
Visit the Conversions Tech Resource Center for CAD drawings and downloadable specification sheets.
