A safe and easy connection
FCI-BURNDY's WEJTAP system adds a new dimension to the existing group of proven, dependable connection systems
FCI-BURNDY Products, a connector manufacturer and provider of OEM solutions to the industrial, energy and automotive industries, introduces the WEJTAP, a one-piece connection assembly that consists of a head and power unit. WEJTAP connectors use a power-driven, aluminum alloy wedge to lock tap cables into a self-adjusting "C"-shaped spring body, maintaining consistent pressure throughout the life of the connection, and ensuring reliability during severe electrical and climatic conditions.
The system provides simple and fast tap removal with minimum conductor damage. The wedge's wiping action, in combination with factory-installed PENATROX PENA 13, an oxide-inhibiting compound, provides superior contact integrity.
Designed with some of the highest safety features available, the tool is breech-loaded and incorporates an automatic forward venting gas release directed away from the operator. Furthermore, there are no loose parts to drop or misplace, and a booster injection system that provides additional safety to the operator.
A self-contained, patented device, the WEJTAP power booster provides the force necessary to drive the wedge into contact with the conductors. A power cell in the booster is recessed to guard against premature discharge, and is activated only when properly positioned.
Spring bodies are color-coded and the wedges are marked with nominal conductor run and tap ranges. WEJTAP connector packages are labeled with a variety of common conductors with their nominal ranges. In addition, all WEJTAP wedges contain a clearly defined chamfer on the large end of the run conductor groove to identify the "large run" groove, adding to the convenience of visual or hand identification for correct wedge positioning.
