Product Features & Engineering Logic
| Key Area | Feature | Advantage | Benefit |
| Mounting Flexibility | Features a slotted tongue design accommodating 3/4″ to 1″ universal spacing. | Allows the lug to fit perfectly onto bus bars and terminals with non-standard or varying stud center distances. | Reduced Inventory & Rework: Eliminates the need to stock multiple fixed-spacing lugs, streamlining installation and reducing potential site mismatches. |
| Electrical Performance | Manufactured from seamless, high-conductivity copper and electro-tinned plated. | Minimizes resistance and prevents oxidation, ensuring the lug maintains maximum current flow efficiency. | Long-Term Reliability: Guarantees a stable, cool-running connection over the product’s lifespan, even under high load (up to 35 kV). |
| Installation Accuracy | Includes an inspection window and a precise 1-1/8 inch strip length. | Provides visual confirmation of full wire insertion and simplifies the wire preparation process. | Guaranteed Crimp Quality: Assures that the conductor is correctly seated for a certified, permanent termination, reducing installation risk. |
| Compatibility & Standards | UL Listed (35kV) and CSA Certified, specifically for 6 AWG stranded cable. | Meets the strictest electrical safety and quality standards across North America. | Safety & Compliance: Ensures the component is approved for use in critical infrastructure and commercial projects. |
FAQs
Q1: What is the main advantage of the universal hole spacing on this lug?
The universal spacing, provided by the slotted holes, allows a single lug part number to be used on equipment with stud centers ranging from 3/4 inch to 1 inch (19.1 mm to 25.4 mm). This flexibility solves common fit-up issues in the field.
Q2: What size hardware is required for this lug?
The lug features 3/8 inch (9.5 mm) holes, requiring 3/8-inch bolts and nuts for mounting. The slotted design ensures the bolts can be securely positioned anywhere within the 3/4″ to 1″ spacing range.
Q3: How do I ensure proper crimping for the 6 AWG wire?
First, strip the wire precisely to 1-1/8 inch (28.6 mm). Second, confirm the wire is visible through the inspection window. Finally, use the correct die set corresponding to the Blue color code to ensure a certified, permanent connection.
Q4: Is this lug compatible with flexible copper cables?
This lug is specifically rated for stranded copper conductor sizes. While often compatible with Class B/C stranded cables, for highly flexible classes (G, H, K, M, DLO), the manufacturer’s specific approval for those classes should be confirmed against the UL listing details.
