Angled Cable Lugs

An angled cable lug is a crimp-type tube copper cable lug whose connection tab is made at a 45° or 90° angle to the axis of the crimp barrel. It is used in tight panel compartments where the cable cannot approach the terminal straight, and in switch, transformer and busbar connections, to reach the bolt without forcing the cable to bend. In this category, Gwest SKP series 45° and 90° angled lugs are available in cross-sections such as 10 mm², 25 mm², 70 mm², 120 mm² and 185 mm², with M5, M6, M8, M10, M12 and M16 bolt holes. Choose the angle according to the direction in which the cable approaches the terminal, the barrel according to the conductor cross-section, the hole diameter according to the bolt, and the tab width according to the terminal area. The same cross-section and hole size are listed as separate products for each angle, so pay attention to the angle value in the product name when ordering. An angled lug should not be confused with a standard lug with a flat tab: the cross-section and hole values in the product code may be the same, and the difference is in the angle of the tab.
