Blackburn TC-10 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can the Blackburn TC-10 tap connector be used on both aluminum and copper conductors?
The TC-10 is a dual-rated connector, which in the trade means it is rated for aluminum as well as copper conductors rather than copper only. The body itself is aluminum. On any aluminum run, brush the conductor and use an oxide inhibiting compound before torquing, the same as with any AL rated mechanical connector.
2) Is the Blackburn TC-10 rated for 600 volt service and 90 degree C conductors?
Yes on both counts. The TC-10 parallel tap carries a 600 V rating and a 90 degree C temperature rating, so it suits 600 V class branch and feeder work using THHN or XHHW-2 type conductors rated at 90 C. It is UL listed under file E9809.
3) Does the Blackburn TC-10 come with an insulating cover, or is that ordered separately?
The insulating cover is part of the TC-10 as described, an aluminum parallel tap with an insulating cover, and the cover is black. That means no separate taping or a second catalog number to insulate the tap once it is torqued down, which is the usual reason people reach for a covered tap over a bare one in a panel or pull box.
4) How is the Blackburn TC-10 sold, individually or in a box?
The TC-10 is sold by the each, so the quantity you order is the number of taps you receive. Order one per tap point and count your splices before you order for a panel change out.
5) What is the exact part number and origin for the Blackburn TC-10 tap?
Blackburn TC-10 is the manufacturer part number to specify, and it is made in the United States. Useful if your job carries a domestic sourcing requirement or if you are matching a submittal that calls out the TC series by number.
6) Is the Blackburn TC-10 plated or does it have any surface coating?
No plating or coating. The TC-10 is bare aluminum with no surface finishing applied, so treat the contact surfaces as you would any unplated aluminum connector: wire brush the conductor and apply a joint compound at make up.
