AH-4 Throat Clip

AH-4 Throat Clip (also called Monkey Head Clamp) is a heavy-duty aluminum alloy tap connector designed for live working (hot line) on 10kV overhead distribution lines. It enables safe, fast, and reliable branch connections without power shutdown, widely used for jumper and (drainage wire) tapping in power distribution networks.

Key Features

• ✅ Live Working Design: Install/remove under 10kV hot line, no power outage needed

• ✅ High-Strength Aluminum Alloy: Lightweight, high conductivity, anti-corrosion, durable

• ✅ Monkey Head (Throat) Shape: Easy alignment, firm grip, low contact resistance

• ✅ Wide Conductor Range: Main conductor φ4.11–19.7mm; branch conductor φ4.11–13.13mm

• ✅ Tool-Operated: Compatible with standard hot stick, safe for remote operation

• ✅ Reusable & Reliable: Bolted design for repeated use; stable connection under vibration

• ✅ Compact & Lightweight: Easy to carry and install in confined spaces
