| Versatility | Rated for 8 AWG conductors, including all flexible classes (G, H, I, K, M, DLO). | Eliminates the need for multiple inventories by accommodating a comprehensive range of flexible cable types. | Operational Flexibility: Simplifies procurement and ensures the right connector is always available for diverse heavy-duty applications. |
Q1: What are the key certifications for this compression lug?
This lug is UL Listed to 486A-486B (File #E52164), CSA certified C22.2 No. 65-13, and ABS approved. These certifications ensure the product meets high standards for safety, reliability, and performance in various industrial and marine applications.
Q2: Can this lug be used with highly flexible cables like DLO or Class K/M?
Yes. This lug is engineered to accommodate the full range of flexible copper cables, including Class G, H, I, K, M, and DLO, all at the specified 8 AWG size.
Q3: What is the benefit of the tin-plated finish?
The tin-plated finish provides excellent resistance against oxidation and corrosion. This is crucial for maintaining low-resistance electrical connections over the long term, especially in humid or corrosive industrial environments.
Q4: How do I ensure proper installation?
Always strip the wire to the specified length of 1/2 inch (12.7 mm). The lug features an inspection window to visually confirm the conductor is fully inserted before crimping. Use the specified tooling: Panduit Die P21, Burndy Die 49T, or T&B Die 21.
