Cable Lugs

A cable lug is a copper connection element consisting of a barrel crimped onto the end of a conductor with a press or crimping pliers and a flat tab with a bolt hole. It is used to bolt power cables to a busbar, to switch, contactor, transformer and motor terminals, or to grounding points. In this category, standard and eco type, DIN 46235 type, welded type, 45° and 90° angled, and narrow entry cable lugs are in separate subgroups; products from Gwest, Konsan and Isıso are available in cross-sections such as 6 mm², 16 mm², 35 mm², 70 mm², 120 mm² and 240 mm², and hole sizes such as M6, M8, M10 and M12. Choose the lug according to the conductor cross-section, the diameter of the connection bolt, whether the tab width fits the terminal, and the crimping die you will use; if the specification calls for DIN dimensions, prefer the DIN type. The pair of numbers in Gwest and Isıso product codes gives the rated cross-section and the bolt size: for example, 120-12 is for a 120 mm² conductor and an M12 bolt. Bimetal lugs for cables with aluminum conductors and splice joints for joining two conductors end to end are in separate categories.
