FAQs
Q: When should I use a “Narrow Tongue” lug instead of a standard 8 AWG lug?
A: Narrow tongue lugs are specifically designed for applications where space is at a premium. If you are mounting terminals side-by-side on compact circuit breakers or high-density busbars where standard lugs would touch or overlap, the XLUIG narrow series provides the necessary clearance without compromising electrical performance.
Q: Does the 1/2″ stud size on an 8 AWG lug affect the crimping process?
A: No. The stud size refers to the mounting hole for the bolt. For the wire side, you will still follow the standard Red Color Code and use a Die Index 21 crimping tool. The 1/2″ hole simply allows this 8 AWG terminal to be used in systems that utilize larger mounting hardware.
Q: Is XLUIG the direct manufacturer of these T2 copper terminals?
A: Yes. XLUIG.com is the official B2B direct platform of Kunshan Xinluan New Material Technology Co., Ltd. Buying from us means you receive factory-original products, full technical support, and the most competitive pricing available in the international industrial market.
