Detailed Description
Overview This cable lug is engineered to terminate a 185 mm² copper conductor and provide a secure bolted connection to equipment via a 14 mm (M14) stud or bolt. It is made from high-purity, annealed copper and finished with tin plating for corrosion resistance and reliable electrical performance.
Key Features & Benefits
Made from annealed copper (≥ 99.9 % purity) for high conductivity
Tin plating to reduce oxidation and maintain contact integrity
Bell-mouth / flared entry to ease insertion of stranded conductors and reduce strand damage (seen in Superlec and Unicrimp lugs)
Inspection hole / window on many designs to allow visual confirmation of full conductor insertion before crimping
Seamless tube construction for mechanical strength and uniform crimping stress distribution
Conforms to recognized lug standards (e.g. Cembre A37 series) Suitable for low-voltage, power distribution, switchgear, busbar, grounding, and battery terminal applications.

Rated Use
Up to ~1000 V typical for copper lugs in LV / power systems (depending on insulation and environment)
Installation / Usage Instructions
Carefully strip the cable insulation to the proper length, taking care not to damage strands.
Fully insert the bare conductor into the lug barrel. Use the inspection hole (if provided) to confirm full seating.
Use the correct crimping die / tool rated for 185 mm² lug — make a uniform, solid crimp without loose strands.
Attach the lug to the M14 stud / bolt with correct washer and torque (do not over-tighten).
After installation, check mechanical stability, electrical continuity, and inspect for strand damage or loosening.
In harsher or corrosive environments, periodically inspect the lug connection for signs of corrosion, loosening, or wear.
Cautions & Tips
Always match the crimping tool / die to the lug’s size (185 mm²) — using the wrong die will degrade performance or lead to failure.
Avoid over-torqueing the M14 bolt — excessive torque can deform lug or cable.
If the lug contacts dissimilar metals (e.g. copper lug on aluminum busbar), consider a bimetallic or transition lug to mitigate galvanic corrosion.
