Burndy YC6L12 Thin-Wall Copper C-Tap 0.60″ Length 8-6 & 10-8

Description

Product Overview

The Burndy YC6L12 thin‑wall copper C‑Tap is engineered for demanding industrial environments where space is at a premium and performance cannot be compromised. Crafted from high‑conductivity wrought copper, this connector offers exceptionally low electrical resistance, ensuring efficient power transfer and minimal heat generation. Its compact 0.60‑inch overall length allows it to fit into tight conduit runs, while the thin‑wall design reduces material usage without sacrificing strength.

Key specifications include an 8‑6 accommodation for 8‑6 gauge wires and a 10‑8 accommodation for 10‑8 gauge wires, providing flexibility for a range of wiring applications. Reinforced ribs run along the body of the tap, delivering added mechanical robustness that resists deformation during installation and service. The product dimensions are 5.3 × 2 × 0.5 inches, weighing only 0.35 ounces, making it easy to handle and store.

Usage

This C‑Tap is ideal for use in control panels, machinery wiring, and any installation that requires a reliable splice point within confined spaces. Electricians and maintenance technicians will appreciate the ease of insertion, as the thin‑wall design allows the tap to be pushed onto conductors with minimal force, reducing installation time and the risk of damaging adjacent components.

Typical applications include motor control centers, PLC wiring, and sensor networks where a secure, low‑resistance connection is critical for accurate signal transmission. The tap’s ability to accommodate both 8‑6 and 10‑8 wire sizes makes it a versatile choice for mixed‑gauge projects, eliminating the need to stock multiple part numbers.
