Thomas Betts 54710 Terminal Block C Tap Main 10-8

Product Description

The THOMAS BETTS 54710 is a terminal block C tap connector designed for secure branch connections within electrical terminal block assemblies. This compact accessory measures 0.4375 inches high by 0.5625 inches long and accommodates a main wire range of 10-8 AWG. The C tap configuration allows a branch conductor to be clamped against the main conductor without cutting or splicing the main run, maintaining circuit continuity. It is installed by licensed electricians and electrical maintenance technicians in panel work, junction boxes, and distribution assemblies where reliable tap connections are required.

This C tap is suited for use in residential and light commercial electrical distribution applications. It fits within terminal block systems where space is limited and a low-profile tap connection is needed. The 10-8 AWG main wire range makes it appropriate for branch circuit and feeder tap work in load centers, sub-panels, and equipment termination points. Each unit is sold individually and ships as a single-piece package.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC). De-energize and lock out the circuit before making any tap connections. Verify conductor size falls within the rated 10-8 AWG main wire range before securing the tap. Do not exceed the rated wire range, as improper conductor sizing can result in loose connections or overheating.
