Product Features & Engineering Logic
| Key Area | Feature | Advantage | Benefit |
| Critical Reliability | UL/CSA Certified and NEBS Level 3 Compliance. | Meets stringent standards required for equipment reliability in environments subject to vibration, heat, and seismic events (e.g., telecommunications). | Mission-Critical Assurance: Guarantees performance and safety compliance for use in sensitive and essential infrastructure projects. |
| Installation Accuracy | Clear inspection window and designated 7/8 inch (22.2 mm) wire strip length. | Enables quick visual confirmation that the 6 AWG conductor is fully and correctly seated prior to crimping. | Prevents Failure: Eliminates incomplete wire insertion, which is a leading cause of connection failure and overheating. |
| Mounting Standardization | Dual 1/4 inch stud holes with precise 1 inch (25.4 mm) center spacing. | Aligns perfectly with industry-standard bus bar and terminal block configurations. | Seamless Integration: Allows for fast, standardized installation on existing infrastructure, saving time and ensuring a reliable mechanical connection. |
| Durability & Identification | Tin-plated copper body with Blue Color Code (P24 / 7T / 24 die). | Provides superior corrosion resistance and features clear identification for the correct tooling selection. | Consistent Quality: Ensures the lug lasts longer in adverse conditions and guarantees the crimp is executed with the exact, certified force. |
FAQs
Q1: What does the “Standard Barrel” length mean for a 6 AWG lug?
The standard barrel (0.81 inches) design is optimized for environments where space is a constraint, or where the added strength of a long barrel is not strictly necessary. It ensures certified electrical performance while maintaining a compact overall profile.
Q2: How do I ensure this lug is compatible with my equipment?
This lug features a standard 2-hole configuration with a 1-inch (25.4 mm) center-to-center spacing between the 1/4 inch bolt holes. This is a common mounting pattern used in distribution panels and power equipment requiring a 6 AWG connection.
Q3: Is this lug rated for use with flexible cables?
While not explicitly listing all flexible classes, the UL and CSA certifications (486A-486B, C22.2 No. 65-13) typically cover standard stranding. For specific flexible cable classes (G, H, K, M, DLO), consult the manufacturer’s official approval documentation or technical datasheet.
Q4: Which crimp tool and die should I use for the blue color code?
The blue color code indicates that you must use the specified crimp die indices: Panduit P24, Burndy 7T, or T&B 24. Using the correct die is mandatory to achieve the necessary compression for a permanent, reliable, and certified termination.
