Conversions Tech Dual-Sided Insulated Tap Connectors — 2 AWG to 14 AWG (UL 486A/B, NEC 230.46 Compliant)
The Conversions Tech Dual-Sided Insulated Tap Connectors provide a robust, code-compliant solution for forming secure electrical connections between multiple conductors. Featuring dual-entry ports on opposing sides and a UV-resistant plastisol insulation coating, these connectors are designed for maximum flexibility, reliability, and long-term performance across residential, commercial, and industrial installations.
Key Features and Advantages
- Secure Set-Screw Connection: Precision-engineered aluminum body with adjustable set screws ensures uniform pressure, creating a low-resistance, vibration-proof connection.
- Dual-Sided Wire Entry: Opposing entry ports accommodate conductors from 2 AWG to 14 AWG, enabling flexible splicing and parallel configurations.
- NEC 230.46 Compliant: Fully approved for line-side service equipment applications under National Electrical Code (NEC) Article 230.46.
- Ergonomic Design: Rounded body with smooth plastisol insulation provides comfortable handling and minimizes strain during installation.
- Removable Protection Plugs: Each port and set screw includes a removable plug to block contaminants, moisture, and debris during setup.
- Pre-Filled Oxide Inhibitor: Entry ports are pre-filled with corrosion-resistant oxide inhibitor gel to maintain low contact resistance over time.
- Heavy-Duty Plastisol Insulation: UV- and chemical-resistant coating ensures long service life, even in outdoor or industrial environments.
- Professional Performance: Tested and certified under UL 486A/B standards for safe use with both copper and aluminum conductors (AL9CU rated).
