Thomas Betts 54745 Terminal Block C Tap 2/0-1

Product Description

The THOMAS BETTS 54745 is a C Tap terminal block accessory designed for use in electrical distribution and wiring applications. This tap connector provides a reliable mechanical connection point for splicing or tapping into main conductors within terminal block assemblies. It is compatible with main wire range 2/0-1 AWG, making it suitable for medium to heavy-gauge conductor work. Licensed electricians and electrical contractors install this type of fitting during panel builds, junction box wiring, and distribution assembly projects where secure, code-compliant tap connections are required.

This C Tap is intended for use in electrical installations where a branch conductor must be connected to a main run without cutting the main wire. Typical applications include residential and commercial electrical panels, load center wiring, and industrial control enclosures. It is sized for main conductors in the 2/0 to 1 AWG range. The compact profile, measuring 1-1/16 inches high by 1-11/16 inches long, allows for installation in space-constrained enclosures and terminal block assemblies.

Compatibility

Designed for use with terminal block assemblies accepting main wire range 2/0-1 AWG conductors. Consult the terminal block manufacturer documentation to confirm fitment with specific terminal block series before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements. De-energize and lock out the circuit before working on any terminal block assembly or tap connection. Use properly rated hand tools and verify conductor size falls within the 2/0-1 AWG main wire range before installing. Do not exceed the rated wire range for the tap, as improper conductor sizing can result in a failed connection or safety hazard.
