Cable Lug for 150 mm² Conductor – 12 mm Mounting Hole, Tin-Plated Copper
Pickup currently not available
Detailed Description
Overview
This cable lug is specifically designed to terminate a 150 mm² copper conductor and allow it to be securely bolted to equipment using a 12 mm (M12) stud or bolt. Constructed of high purity annealed copper and coated with tin plating, the lug offers excellent conductivity, corrosion protection, and reliable mechanical integrity.
Key Features & Benefits
-
High-Conductivity Copper Body: Ensures minimal electrical resistance.
-
Tin Plating / Electro-Tin Finish: Provides oxidation and corrosion resistance for long service life.
-
Flared / Bell-mouth Entry: Facilitates easy insertion of stranded conductor and reduces strand damage. (For sizes ≥10 mm², flared entry is common) EVENTPOWER EQUIPMENT+2Power and Cables+2
-
Inspection Window / Hole: Many lugs provide a visual window to confirm full conductor insertion before crimping. Superlec Direct+2EVENTPOWER EQUIPMENT+2
-
Standards / Compliance: Many such lugs conform to recognized copper lug standards (e.g. CABAC’s CAL150-12) Cabac
-
Thermal Rating: Some lugs are rated for continuous operating temperatures up to ~155 °C. EVENTPOWER EQUIPMENT

Installation / Usage Guidelines
-
Strip insulation to the correct length, avoiding cutting or damaging conductor strands.
-
Insert the bare conductor fully into the lug barrel; if inspection hole exists, confirm full insertion.
-
Use a crimping die/tool sized and rated for 150 mm² lugs, and perform a uniform, solid crimp.
-
Mount the lug to the 12 mm stud/bolt with appropriate washer and tighten to recommended torque (avoid over-tightening).
-
Verify mechanical stability and electrical continuity after installation.
-
In challenging environmental conditions (moisture, vibration, etc.), periodic inspections are recommended, even with tin plating protection.
Cautions & Tips
-
Always ensure you have the right crimping tool and die set for 150 mm² lugs — using improper tooling jeopardizes joint integrity.
-
Avoid over-torqueing the M12 stud — excessive force can deform the lug or damage the conductor.
-
If connecting to dissimilar metals (e.g. aluminum busbar), consider using a bi-metal or transition lug to reduce galvanic corrosion.
