Panduit CTAP2/0-2-X Copper Compression C-tap Connector

Product Description

The PANDUIT CTAP2/0-2-X is a copper compression C-tap connector designed for making reliable branch-circuit tap connections on copper conductors. C-tap connectors of this type mechanically and electrically join a run conductor to a tap conductor using a compression tool, eliminating the need for soldering or mechanical set screws. The result is a low-resistance, gas-tight connection suited for power distribution applications. This fitting is sold individually and is typically installed by licensed electricians working on service entrance, feeder, or branch-circuit wiring.

This connector is used in residential and commercial electrical installations where a tap connection must be made off a main run conductor without cutting or interrupting the run. Common scenarios include service entrance tap work, panel feeder taps, and load-side branch connections. The single-hole mounting configuration supports secure, compact installation in enclosures, junction boxes, and wireways where space is limited.

Key Features

• Copper construction provides high conductivity and corrosion resistance for long-term reliability
• Compression-style termination creates a gas-tight, low-resistance connection without set screws
• Single-hole design allows compact mounting in enclosures and junction boxes
• Sold as an individual unit for precise quantity ordering on service and feeder work

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style compression C-tap connector for copper conductor tap applications in residential and commercial electrical systems. Consult conductor size markings on the connector body to confirm run and tap wire gauge compatibility before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements for tap conductors and compression terminations. De-energize and lock out the circuit before making any connections. A calibrated compression tool rated for the connector series is required to achieve proper crimp depth and a secure gas-tight joint. Do not use this connector on aluminum conductors unless specifically rated for aluminum compatibility.
