Conversions Tech Insulated Tap Connector — 4-Port, Single-Side Entry (14–4 AWG)
Build code-compliant, low-resistance joints faster with the Conversions Tech Insulated Tap Connector. This NEC §230.46-ready, gel-sealed block accepts solid or stranded copper or aluminum conductors from 14 AWG to 4 AWG, providing a gas-tight, corrosion-resistant interface that endures vibration and thermal cycling. Ideal for residential, commercial, and industrial power-distribution systems.
Key Features
- Four-Port, Single-Side Entry: Terminate up to four conductors without re-routing wireways — perfect for compact gutters and panelboards.
- High-Pressure Set Screws: Dual 5⁄16-inch captive screws per port deliver a uniform, low-impedance bond.
- Gel-Filled & Plug-Sealed: Factory-injected oxide inhibitor with removable elastomer plugs keeps out moisture and debris.
- Rugged Construction: Tin-plated, high-conductivity aluminum alloy core encased in UV-stabilized plastisol for full 360° dielectric protection.
- NEC §230.46 Compliant: Certified to UL 486A/B and cULus for 600 V installations rated 90 °C (AL9CU).
- Compact Design: Single-side entry layout simplifies access in crowded enclosures and metering equipment.
- Reusable Elastomer Seals: Each port includes removable moisture plugs for maintenance and re-termination.
- Maintenance-Free Interface: Gel seal eliminates need for additional oxide-inhibiting compounds.
- High Visibility Markings: Laser-etched port labels for quick conductor identification.
- Versatile Compatibility: Suitable for copper or aluminum conductors, stranded or solid.

FAQs (Click to Expand)
1. What conductor sizes does this connector accept?
It accepts both solid and stranded copper or aluminum conductors from 14 AWG to 4 AWG.
2. Is it rated for both copper and aluminum conductors?
Yes — it is AL9CU-rated and pre-filled with oxide inhibitor to ensure reliable Cu/Al performance.
3. What makes it NEC §230.46 compliant?
The connector is UL 486A/B certified and gel-sealed, meeting NEC requirements for pre-manufactured, listed tap connectors.
4. What is meant by “single-side entry”?
All four ports are oriented on one side for streamlined access in shallow enclosures or panel gutters.
5. How is corrosion prevented inside the connector?
Each port is factory-filled with conductive gel and sealed with removable elastomer plugs to exclude moisture and oxygen.
6. What torque value should I apply to the set screws?
Follow the torque chart provided on the connector body — typically around 45–50 in-lb for 4 AWG aluminum conductors.
7. Can this tap be reused?
Yes. Remove the plug, inspect the gel cavity, and re-terminate following UL 486A/B guidelines.
8. What is the maximum current rating?
It handles up to 130 A for copper and 100 A for aluminum conductors continuously at 90 °C.
9. Is the housing UV-resistant for outdoor use?
Yes — the plastisol insulation is UV-stabilized for outdoor or rooftop environments.
10. Where can I get CAD or spec-sheet data?
You can download the full specification sheet or contact the Conversions Tech engineering team for CAD drawings and support.
