Panduit RGTBSG-C Grounding Screw

Overview

The Panduit RGTBSG-C is a StructuredGround™ thread-forming bonding screw designed for secure grounding and bonding applications within telecommunications and data center environments. Its self-tapping design simplifies installation by creating its own threads, ensuring a reliable electrical connection without the need for pre-tapped holes. The green color coding aids in easy identification for grounding circuits, crucial for maintaining system integrity and safety. This 12-24 x 1/2" screw is engineered for consistent performance in critical infrastructure.

Compatibility

This bonding screw is specifically designed for use with 12-24 threaded cage nuts, commonly found in standard server rack and cabinet installations. It is suitable for bonding grounding conductors to equipment racks, enclosures, and other metallic structures within a data center or telecommunications facility. Its application is general grounding and bonding for network infrastructure components.

Installation Notes

The RGTBSG-C features a 1/2" overall length and is zinc-plated for corrosion resistance. It requires a standard tool (e.g., a socket or wrench) to drive the screw into place. The thread-forming action means it cuts its own mating threads into the material it is installed into, ensuring a tight mechanical and electrical bond. Ensure the mating surface is clean and free of debris before installation for optimal conductivity.
