Detailed Description

Product Overview
This cable lug is engineered to terminate a 10 mm (≈ 10 mm² or matching stranded conductor) cable and securely fasten to an 8 mm (M8) stud or bolt. The body is made from annealed high-conductivity copper and finished with a tin plating to resist corrosion and maintain electrical integrity over time.

Key Features & Benefits

• High Conductivity Copper: Minimizes resistance and energy loss.

• Tin Plating: Protects against oxidation and improves surface contact durability.

• Bell Mouth Entry: Eases insertion of strands and reduces chance of stray wires. (As per Armoured Cable spec) armouredcable.net

• Inspection Hole: Permits visual confirmation of full conductor insertion before crimping. armouredcable.net

• Solid Barrel Design: Ensures full conductor contact, reducing hot spots.

• Compatibility with Standard Crimp Tools: Optimized for standard dies for 10 mm lugs.

• Versatile Application: Suitable for general low-voltage electrical installations, battery terminations, grounding, control systems.

Installation / Usage Guidelines

1. Strip insulation without damaging strands, to proper length.

2. Insert conductor fully into lug barrel until it reaches the interior end (use inspection hole where available).

3. Use correct crimping die for 10 mm lugs. Ensure a solid, even crimp with no stray strands.

4. Mount lug to 8 mm stud using appropriate bolt, washer, and torque spec (avoid over-tightening).

5. Inspect mechanical stability and electrical continuity after installation.

6. In humid or corrosive environments, periodic inspection is recommended even with tin plating.

Cautions / Tips

• Use matching dies and tools — improper crimping reduces conductivity and reliability.

• Avoid exceeding torque limits on M8 stud or risk deforming the lug.

• For connections to dissimilar metals (copper to aluminum), consider using bimetallic or transition lugs to prevent galvanic corrosion.
