Narrow Entry Cable Lugs

A narrow entry cable lug is a tin-plated copper cable lug, crimped onto the conductor with a press or crimping pliers, whose flat tab with the bolt hole stays narrow even in large cross-sections. It is used to bolt cables with copper conductors at connection points where the tab of a standard lug does not fit, such as switch terminals with narrow phase spacing. In this category, Gwest SKP-DG series lugs are available in cross-sections such as 35 mm², 50 mm², 95 mm², 150 mm² and 240 mm², with M6, M8, M10 and M12 bolt holes; the product pages also give the AWG/MCM equivalent of the cross-section. Compare the tab width (W), length and hole diameter values on the product page with the dimensions of the device terminal to be connected, and the barrel size with the conductor cross-section. Even with the same cross-section and hole size, a standard lug does not replace a narrow entry lug: in large cross-sections its tab is wider, so it may not fit a narrow terminal.

How to choose Narrow Entry Cable Lugs

A narrow entry cable lug is a tin-plated copper cable lug, crimped onto the conductor with a press or crimping pliers, whose flat tab with the bolt hole stays narrow even in large cross-sections. It is used to bolt cables with copper conductors at connection points where the tab of a standard lug does not fit, such as switch terminals with narrow phase spacing.

  • Clarify whether the task is connection, cable routing, enclosure distribution or termination.
  • Match dimensions, thread standard, conductor cross-section and IP rating with the cable and panel.
  • Choose housing material and pack quantity according to the mounting environment.
