Blackburn BC402 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire sizes does the Blackburn BC402 C-tap connector take on the run and the tap?
The BC402 is sized for a 3/0 to 4/0 run conductor with a 6 through 2 AWG tap. Both the run and tap conductors are copper. If your tap is larger than 2 AWG or your main is smaller than 3/0, this is the wrong C-tap in the range.
2) Can I use the BC402 C-tap on aluminum conductors?
No. The BC402 is a copper compression connector intended for copper conductors only. For aluminum or mixed copper-to-aluminum taps you need a connector rated AL9CU or an aluminum-bodied tap, not this one.
3) I have a print calling for part 7TAA269830R0006 - is the BC402 the same connector?
Yes. 7TAA269830R0006 is the current replacement product ID for the Blackburn BC402 C-tap, so a spec or drawing citing either number is asking for the same copper compression tap.
4) Is the BC402 a crimp connector or a mechanical set-screw tap?
It's a compression (crimp) C-tap, so it's installed with a hydraulic or battery crimping tool and the correct die, not a wrench. Once crimped it is permanent. If you need a connection you can open later for testing or re-termination, use a mechanical set-screw tap instead.
5) Is the Blackburn BC402 UL listed?
Yes, the BC402 carries UL file E9809.
6) Is the BC402 made in the USA for Buy American jobs?
Country of origin on the BC402 is the United States, which is what public-works and institutional buyers with domestic-content requirements usually need documented.
7) What is a C-tap used for on a feeder run?
A C-tap crimps around an unbroken main conductor and captures a smaller tap conductor alongside it, so you can pull power off a feeder without cutting it. The BC402 covers a 3/0 to 4/0 main with a 6 to 2 AWG tap in copper. C-taps are typically insulated afterward with tape or a molded cover, which is a separate item.
8) Are Blackburn BC402 C-taps sold individually or in boxes?
They're sold each, so you can buy the exact count you need for the tap points on the job rather than a full box.
