Blackburn BC44 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is a Blackburn BC44 C-tap used for?
The BC44 is a copper C-tap, a compression tap connector for making a run-or-tap splice on copper conductors. The C shape is crimped closed around the conductors with a hydraulic or battery compression tool and the correct die, so it is a tool-installed connection, not a mechanical set-screw lug. It is sold each, so quantity on an order is per connector, not per bag.
2) Can I use the BC44 C-tap on aluminum conductors?
No. The BC44 is a copper connector, so keep it on copper conductors. For aluminum or for a mixed copper-to-aluminum tap you need a connector rated for that combination, typically a tin-plated aluminum body loaded with inhibitor compound, not this copper C-tap.
3) Has the Blackburn BC44 been replaced by a newer part number?
The current replacement part number for the BC44 is 7TAA269830R0010. If your spec or drawing calls out BC44, that number is the one to cross-reference when ordering.
4) Do I need a special tool to install a BC44 C-tap?
Yes. A C-tap is a compression connector, so it takes a hydraulic or battery-powered crimper with the die matched to that connector body. There are no set screws and no way to make it up with hand tools. Budget the tool and die into the job if your crew is only carrying mechanical lugs.
