Power Transmission
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.
