Burndy CRIMPIT Copper C-Shape Compression Connector, Die Index C

The Burndy C-Shape Compression Connector family is engineered for reliable run and tap connections in power distribution and industrial electrical systems. Offered in models YC28C26, YC2C2, and YC2C4, this family covers a range of run and tap conductor sizes on solid copper conductors, with individual models spanning conductor ranges up to 4-2 AWG. Every model in the family is rated 600 Volts to 35 kV, built from solid copper with an unplated finish, and is part of Burndy's CRIMPIT™ line of copper compression terminals and splices, designed to be installed with Burndy Die Index C compression tooling for a secure, code-compliant crimp every time.

Key Features

  • Model Options: Choose from YC28C26, YC2C2, or YC2C4 to match your specific run and tap conductor requirements, with conductor ranges up to 4-2 AWG on the YC2C4 model.
  • Run and Tap Capacity: Configurations support flexible circuit designs for new installations and splice repairs, with run and tap ranges varying by selected model.
  • Copper Construction: Solid copper body delivers high conductivity and durable, low-resistance connections that hold up under continuous electrical load.
  • Unplated Finish: Bare copper surface finish as supplied from the factory, matching the conductor material for a consistent electrical interface.
  • Voltage Rating: Rated 600 Volts to 35 kV across the family, suiting these connectors to both standard low-voltage circuits and medium-voltage power distribution work.
  • Die Index C: Matched to Burndy Die Index C compression tooling for a proper, code-compliant crimp and consistent connector performance across all models.
  • CRIMPIT™ Compression System: Part of Burndy's CRIMPIT™ line of copper compression terminals and splices, built for dependable field crimping.

Burndy YC2C2 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What die do I need to crimp Burndy CRIMPIT YC2C4 C-taps?
Die Index C. The YC2C4, YC2C2 and YC28C26 C-shape connectors are all matched to Burndy Die Index C compression tooling, so one die setting covers the whole group. Using a die other than the one the connector calls out is the usual cause of an under-crimped, high-resistance tap.
2) Can I use a Burndy CRIMPIT C-shape connector on a medium-voltage tap, or is it low voltage only?
These copper C-shape compression connectors carry a 600V to 35kV rating, so they cover both standard low-voltage branch and feeder work and medium-voltage distribution taps. The same connector body is used across that whole range.
3) What wire sizes does the Burndy YC2C4 C-tap take?
The YC2C4 covers a 4-2 AWG conductor range for the run and tap. The other two models in the C-shape group, YC2C2 and YC28C26, cover different run and tap combinations, so pick the model by the two conductor sizes you are joining rather than assuming they interchange.
4) Will a Burndy CRIMPIT C-shape connector work on aluminum conductors?
No. These are solid copper bodies with an unplated bare copper finish, intended for copper conductors. For an aluminum run or an aluminum-to-copper tap you need a connector rated AL9CU or an aluminum-bodied C-tap instead.
5) Which Burndy C-shape model do I order, YC28C26, YC2C2 or YC2C4?
Order by the pair of conductors you are joining. YC2C4 handles a 4-2 AWG range; YC2C2 and YC28C26 are built for different run and tap combinations within the family. All three crimp with the same Die Index C tooling and carry the same 600V to 35kV rating, so the only ordering decision that changes is conductor size.
6) What is the difference between a C-tap and a compression splice?
A C-shape connector wraps a run conductor and a tap conductor together and is crimped closed, so the run stays continuous and you branch off it. A splice sleeve is for joining two cut cable ends end to end. If you are tapping a live feeder for a branch without cutting it, the CRIMPIT C-shape is the right form; if the cable is already cut, use a splice.
7) Can these Burndy CRIMPIT connectors be installed with a set screw or bolted lug tool?
No. Termination is by compression only, using Burndy Die Index C dies in a hydraulic or battery crimper. There are no threads or set screws on the body, so a mechanical connector tool will not make a code-compliant connection on one of these.
8) Does unplated mean these Burndy C-taps will corrode in a wet location?
The bare copper surface is supplied unplated so it matches the copper conductor directly. Because there is no tin plating, crews commonly fill the crimp with an oxide-inhibiting compound and cover the finished tap with tape or a shrink boot on damp, buried or outdoor installs.
9) Where can I get the spec sheet for the Burndy YC2C4?
Burndy publishes a spec sheet for the YC2C4 C-shape compression connector through Hubbell's document library at hubbellcdn.com, filed as BRDY-YC2C4-SPEC-EN. It carries the conductor range and crimp detail for that specific model.
