Thomas Betts 54725 Terminal Block C Tap Wire Range 5-3

Product Description

The THOMAS BETTS 54725 is a C Tap accessory designed for use with terminal blocks in electrical wiring applications. This compact connector measures 13/16 inches high and 1-5/32 inches long, making it suitable for installations where space is limited. It is compatible with a main wire range of 5-3 and provides a reliable tap connection point at a terminal block junction. Licensed electricians and electrical contractors typically install this type of component during panel work, junction box builds, or branch circuit tap applications where a secure conductor interface is required.

This C Tap fits into light commercial and residential electrical installations where terminal block systems are used to distribute or splice conductors. It is specifically rated for use with a main wire range of 5-3, making it appropriate for heavier gauge conductor applications at distribution points. Electrical professionals select this part when a factory-style, secure tap connection is needed at a terminal block rather than a field-fabricated splice.

Key Features

• C Tap configuration provides a secure branch connection at the terminal block
• Compatible with main wire range 5-3 for heavier gauge conductor applications
• Compact form factor: 13/16 inches high by 1-5/32 inches long
• Single-unit packaging suitable for targeted replacement or small-quantity installation work

Compatibility

Designed for use with terminal block systems accepting a main wire range of 5-3. Install only where the terminal block manufacturer specifies C Tap accessory compatibility.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and any applicable local codes. De-energize the circuit and verify zero voltage with a meter before handling any terminal block components. Use appropriately rated hand tools for seating the C Tap securely within the terminal block housing. Do not exceed the rated wire range when terminating conductors at this tap point.
