Burndy YC25L12 Copper C-Tap Compression Connector

Burndy YC25L12 Copper C-Tap Compression Connector, Thin Wall

The Burndy YC25L12 is a copper compression C-Tap connector engineered for reliable run-and-tap conductor connections in space-constrained, thin wall applications. Built from bright tin-plated copper, this connector accommodates a run conductor range of 1 AWG and 2-1/0 AWG along with a tap conductor range of 4-3 AWG and 12-2 AWG. Part of Burndy's CRIMPIT™ line, it delivers a low-profile, permanent compression joint for splicing branch and tap conductors onto a main run in professional electrical and utility installations.

Key Features

• Run Conductor Range: Accepts 1 AWG and 2-1/0 AWG run conductors, giving installers flexibility when sizing the main-line connection.
• Tap Conductor Range: Accepts 4-3 AWG and 12-2 AWG tap conductors, covering a wide span of branch circuit sizes off a single main run.
• Thin Wall Design: Low-profile C-Tap body is sized for installation in tight enclosures, wireways, gutters, and junction boxes where clearance is limited.
• Solid Copper Construction: All-copper body delivers superior conductivity and long-term mechanical strength compared to lower-grade alloys.
• Bright Tin-Plated Finish: Tin plating helps resist corrosion and maintains a stable, low-resistance electrical connection over the life of the installation.
• Compression C-Tap Connection: Permanent compression joint provides a secure, vibration-resistant splice between run and tap conductors without solder or mechanical set screws.
• Die Index 14: Matched to the correct Burndy compression tool die index for a consistent, repeatable crimp every time, supporting quality control on the job site.
