Buchanan BTC4/0-10 Connector

This Buchanan insulation displacement connector joins a run conductor from 3 AWG to 4/0 AWG with a tap conductor from 10 AWG to 2 AWG. It accepts a maximum run insulation diameter of .46 in and a maximum tap insulation diameter of .257 in. The UV-stable polymer housing is rated for 600 V and a maximum operating temperature of 194 Degrees F.

Electrical installers needing a quick tap connection

The two-port run-tap design suits maintenance crews adding a branch circuit without stripping the main conductor. It is not suited for applications requiring more than one tap per run, for conductors outside the stated AWG ranges, or for voltages above 600 V.

Fits standard hand tools for insulation-piercing

The connector requires no special crimping dies; a common hand tool pierces the insulation to complete the joint. Its compact 2.2 in length leaves room in tight junction boxes and frees up space for additional wiring.
