A factory-molded UV-stable plastisol jacket, pre-filled oxide-inhibitor gel, and removable debris plugs eliminate field taping, cut installation time by up to 40 %, prevent galvanic corrosion, and keep contact resistance below one milliohm for the life of the connection.

Yes. Each body is laser-marked “SUITABLE FOR USE ON THE LINE SIDE OF SERVICE EQUIPMENT — NEC 230.46.” Third-party testing confirms compliance, giving inspectors immediate acceptance for meter combos, switchboards, rooftop PV disconnects, and EVSE gear.

All models are cULus-listed to UL 486A/B (Wire Connectors) for 600 V AL9CU applications, and specific direct-burial variants also meet UL 467 for grounding and bonding.

#14 AWG – 3/0 AWG with dual ratings: 100 A (aluminum) and 130 A (copper) at 90 °C. Custom barrels reach 250 kcmil and 255 A copper.

Typical torque: 35 in-lb (#14–#10 AWG); 45 in-lb (#8–#4 AWG); 50 in-lb (#2–1/0 AWG); up to 275 in-lb for 250 kcmil. Always follow the torque etched on each connector.

The conductive grease displaces air, blocks moisture, and mitigates galvanic action between dissimilar metals, ensuring stable micro-ohm resistance even after thousands of thermal cycles.

Yes. The plastisol jacket is UV-resistant, chemical-inert, and abrasion-tough, making it ideal for rooftop PV arrays, HVAC disconnects, pole-top reclosers, and coastal switchgear.

Yes. DB-series taps carry UL 467 endorsement for direct burial in earth or concrete without additional potting compounds.

−45 °C to +90 °C continuous. Elastomer flexibility is retained at −45 °C; insulation integrity remains intact at 150 °C for five seconds during short-circuit events.

Landing all conductors from one face minimizes bend-radius space, freeing real estate inside meter sockets, switchboards, data-center PDUs, and switchgear gutters.

While the jacket accepts most epoxy and urethane paints, Conversions Tech inc offers factory-colorized jackets (black, red, blue, white, green) for permanent phase or polarity coding without field painting.

Yes. Grounding-specific models include a serrated oxide-inhibitor compound and achieve pull-out forces exceeding IEEE 837 Annex C for substation grounding conductors.

Yes. The UT-series features tri-wing shear heads that break off at the correct torque, leaving a tamper-resistant stump accepted by major North American utilities.

Yes. The dielectric withstand is 1,000 V AC / 1,500 V DC for 60 seconds with no flashover, meeting UL 1741 DC insulation requirements.

Ten years in unopened packaging at −10 °C – 40 °C. The inhibitor’s base oil remains stable; however, Conversions Tech inc recommends a visual check after five years in high-temperature storage.

UL 486A/B classifies these as single-use; replacing conductors voids the listing. Always install a new tap to maintain UL compliance.

No. The plastisol compound withstands 2.5 kV AC for one minute with ≤ 0.5 mA leakage—double the standard 1 kV field-megger requirement.

Yes, when enclosed in a suitably rated explosion-proof or purged enclosure. The connectors themselves do not spark under IEC 60079-14 load-pull tests.

When installed per UL 508A supplement SB in a copper bus bar, testing confirmed 200 kA RMS symmetrical withstand at 600 V AC for three cycles.

Each port rim is laser-etched with a gauge line; stripping to this mark guarantees full screw engagement without conductor protrusion.

Field installers should use calibrated torque screwdrivers or 1/4-inch torque keys. For production lines, Conversions Tech inc supplies color-coded, torque-pre-set bits.

Yes. The cULus mark denotes compliance with CSA C22.2 No. 65 for wire connectors, authorizing use across all Canadian provinces.

Yes. The IT-CLEAR series uses a crystal-clear PVC-free jacket allowing visual confirmation of strand seating and inhibitor coverage.

A 500-cycle make/break endurance per UL 486A/B with zero thread galling and < 2 % contact-resistance drift.

Connectors passed IEC 60068-2-6 sinusoidal vibration (5 Hz – 500 Hz, 6 g) and MIL-STD-810H random vibration profiles for railcars, marine, and heavy truck applications.

Genuine Conversions Tech inc taps include a holographic date-code label and serialized QR code traceable to lot-level torque and alloy certifications.

Tested to 5,000 m (16,400 ft) per IEC 60664-1; derating is unnecessary because the jacket’s dielectric strength exceeds altitude-related partial-discharge thresholds.

Yes, provided strand diameters fall within the AWG range. The inhibitor prevents corrosion between aluminum core strands and outer high-strength steel or composite strands.

Plastisol offers superior UV and chemical resistance with a smooth finish; EPDM provides higher flexibility at extreme cold. Conversions Tech inc selects plastisol for optimal long-term dielectric stability.

Yes. RAIL-grade taps meet EN 50155 temperature, vibration, and shock standards for rolling-stock equipment, along with NF F 16-101 fire-smoke classification.

Simply wipe with a lint-free cloth; the semi-synthetic base oil is non-conductive and will not attract dust if a thin residue remains.

Yes. Independent ASTM B117 testing showed < 5 % surface corrosion and < 1 % resistance change after 3,000 hours—surpassing typical marine-grade benchmarks.
