Compression Tap H Connector
Compression Tap H Connector Description
A compression tap H connector is a type of electrical connector used in power distribution systems to create a secure and reliable connection between multiple conductors. It is typically used when branching or tapping into an existing electrical conductor without interrupting its continuity.

The “H” shape of the connector refers to its design, which usually consists of a central body with multiple ports or openings on either side, resembling the letter “H”. Each port is designed to accommodate a conductor.
Compression tap H connectors utilize a compression mechanism, such as bolts or screws, to securely clamp down on the conductors inserted into the ports. This compression creates both a mechanical and electrical connection, ensuring good conductivity and stability.
These connectors are commonly used in applications such as power distribution lines, substations, and electrical utility installations where reliable connections are crucial for safe and efficient operation. They are designed to withstand the mechanical stresses, environmental conditions, and electrical currents typically encountered in these settings.
