Burndy YC2C4 Copper C-Shape Compression Connector
The Burndy YC2C4 is a copper C-Shape compression connector engineered for reliable run and tap connections in power distribution and industrial electrical systems. Rated 600 Volts to 35 kV, this connector handles a Run range of 2 Sol. - 2 Str. and a Tap range of 8 Sol. - 4 Str., with an overall conductor range of 4-2 AWG covering both solid and stranded copper conductors. Built from solid copper with an unplated finish, the YC2C4 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
- Conductor Range: Accommodates 4-2 AWG copper conductors, giving installers a single connector for a range of run and tap conductor sizes.
- Run and Tap Capacity: Run range of 2 Sol. - 2 Str. and Tap range of 8 Sol. - 4 Str. support flexible circuit configurations in both new installations and splice repairs.
- 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, suiting the YC2C4 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.
- CRIMPIT™ Compression System: Part of Burndy's CRIMPIT™ line of copper compression terminals and splices, built for dependable field crimping.
