Cable Lugs
Cable lugs are connectors used to terminate electrical cables and provide a secure connection to terminals, circuit breakers, and other electrical devices. They are essential for ensuring efficient and safe electrical conductivity in industrial, commercial, and residential applications.
Applications
- Electrical panels and switchgear for power distribution.
- Industrial machinery for secure cable terminations.
- Automotive and marine applications for battery connections.
- Renewable energy installations like solar power systems.
- Telecommunications and networking equipment.
- High-voltage substations and transmission networks.
Construction
- Material: Typically made from copper or aluminum for excellent electrical conductivity.
- Insulation: Some lugs are insulated with PVC or heat-shrink material for additional protection.
- Barrel Type: Available in crimp, solder, or bolt-on types for different installation needs.
- Stud Hole: Designed to fit specific terminal sizes for secure mounting.
- Tin Coating: Many copper lugs are tin-plated to prevent oxidation and corrosion.
