Detailed Description

Overview
This cable lug is crafted for dependable termination of a 16 mm² (or equivalent 16 mm conductor) cable and secure connection to equipment via an 8 mm (M8) stud or bolt. It is made from high-conductivity annealed copper and coated with a tin finish to resist corrosion and maintain excellent electrical contact.

Key Features & Benefits

• High Conductivity Copper Core: Delivers efficient current flow with minimal resistance.

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

• Bell Mouth Entry & Inspection Hole: Helps in inserting strands cleanly and verifying full insertion before crimping. (As seen in Superlec design) Superlec Direct

• Solid Barrel Design: Provides uniform contact across the conductor cross-section.

• Crimp / Compression Compatible: Designed for standard crimping tools for 16 mm lugs.

• Wide Usage: Suitable for power distribution, panel wiring, grounding, battery lugs, industrial installations.

Installation / Usage Guidelines

1. Strip insulation carefully, ensuring clean strands without nicks.

2. Fully insert conductor into the lug barrel (verify via inspection hole if provided).

3. Use the correct crimping die or tool for 16 mm lug; apply even pressure to obtain a proper crimp.

4. Secure the lug to the 8 mm stud/bolt, using correct washer and torque, avoiding over-tightening.

5. Inspect the mechanical and electrical integrity after installation.

6. In corrosive or harsh environments, periodic inspection is advised even with tin plating.

Notes & Cautions

• Always use the proper crimp die for 16 mm lugs — improper crimping can cause poor conductivity or mechanical failure.

• Avoid excessive torque on the M8 bolt — too much torque could deform the lug.

• In connections involving dissimilar metals (copper to aluminum, for example), consider transition or bi-metallic lugs to reduce galvanic corrosion.
