Burndy YCHC2TC2 CRIMPIT Copper Compression C-Tap Connector, Tin-Plated

Burndy YCHC2TC2 CRIMPIT Copper Compression C-Tap Connector, Tin-Plated

The Burndy YCHC2TC2 is a CRIMPIT™ copper compression C-tap connector built to join a 2-6 AWG main run conductor to a 2-6 AWG first tap and an 8-14 AWG second tap in a single compression termination. As a run/tap style connector, it allows an electrician to splice a continuous main conductor while simultaneously branching off two separate tap conductors of different gauges from the same connection point. Manufactured from copper with a tin-plated finish, the YCHC2TC2 is engineered to deliver a secure, low-resistance electrical connection for demanding commercial and industrial power distribution work.

Key Features

• Conductor Range: Main run accepts 2-6 AWG copper conductor, Tap 1 accepts 2-6 AWG, and Tap 2 accepts 8-14 AWG, giving installers flexibility to combine mixed conductor sizes at a single tap point.
• Durable Copper Construction: The connector body is made from copper, providing excellent electrical conductivity and long-term mechanical and electrical reliability under load.
• Compression C-Tap Design: Configured as a C-tap compression connector with a Die Index of C, ensuring the correct compression tool and die combination produces a secure, repeatable crimp every time.
• Run/Tap Configuration: Classified as a Run/Tap product type, allowing a continuous main conductor to pass through while supporting two independent tap connections in one fitting.
• Tin-Plated Finish: The copper connector is tin-plated to help resist corrosion and maintain stable, low-resistance electrical contact over the life of the installation.
• CRIMPIT™ Trade Name: The YCHC2TC2 is part of Burndy's CRIMPIT™ family of compression connectors, identifying it within Burndy's broader compression connector lineup.

Why Burndy?

Burndy copper compression connectors like the YCHC2TC2 are built with a clearly defined conductor range and Die Index so installers can match the correct compression tool and die for a consistent, repeatable crimp. The tin-plated copper construction supports a durable, corrosion-resistant, low-resistance connection, while the CRIMPIT™ compression design and run/tap configuration make the YCHC2TC2 well suited to professional, code-compliant electrical work where a main conductor must be spliced and tapped in a single, reliable connector.
