Tap off Clamps

Tap off clamps are specialized electrical connectors used in power distribution systems to create branch connections from a main conductor without interrupting service. They are designed to provide secure and reliable electrical and mechanical contact for secondary lines, often in overhead or utility networks.

At Ilardia, we offer a comprehensive range of tap off clamps and related connectors engineered for durability, ease of installation, and optimal performance in electrical derivation and branching applications.

What are tap off clamps?

Tap off clamps are mechanical devices that attach to a main conductor and allow a secondary conductor to be connected for service feeds, branch circuits, or distribution extensions. They are commonly used in overhead line installations, power networks, and infrastructure projects where reliable tap connections are required.

Types of connectors and tap off clamps

Below are the main types of tap off clamps and related connectors, with a brief description of their typical uses:

Connector Type Typical Use Case
Al Tap off clamps Aluminium tap off clamps designed for branching from aluminium main conductors, offering lightweight and corrosion-resistant connections.
Al-Cu Bimetallic Staples Bimetallic connectors combining aluminium and copper for safe and reliable connections between dissimilar metals without galvanic corrosion.
Aluminium splice and branch clamps Clamps used to splice or branch aluminium conductors, suitable for power line extensions and network distribution.
Copper cable branch connectors Branch connectors designed for copper conductors, ensuring excellent conductivity and robust mechanical performance.
Copper tap off clamps Tap off clamps optimized for copper main conductors, providing secure and durable branch connections.
Insulated tap off clamps Cu-Al Insulated clamps that pierce insulation to connect copper and aluminium conductors while maintaining electrical safety and protection.
Single-Level Connection Terminals – Industrial Derivation Connectors Connectors designed for simple single-level branching in industrial settings, ideal for distribution panels and service feeds.
Mechanical clamps double-deck Double-deck mechanical clamps allowing multiple conductor connections on a shared main line for complex network branching.
Tap off clamps General category of clamps used to create a tap connection from a main conductor to a secondary line efficiently and securely.
Clamps for connecting equal and unequal conductors Clamps capable of joining conductors of equal or differing sizes and materials, ensuring versatility in network configurations.

Applications of tap off clamps

Tap off clamps are used in:

  • Overhead power line derivations
  • Branching for service feeds
  • Distribution network extensions
  • Utility and infrastructure electrical systems

Their design ensures electrical continuity, mechanical strength, and long-term reliability in both aluminium and copper conductor systems.
