Detailed Description
Overview
This cable lug is engineered for secure termination of a 25 mm² (or equivalent 25 mm conductor) cable and reliable connection onto an 8 mm (M8) stud or bolt. It is manufactured from high-conductivity annealed copper and coated with tin plating to resist corrosion while maintaining excellent electrical contact.
Key Features & Benefits
-
High Conductivity Copper Core: Ensures minimal resistive losses.
-
Tin Plating: Provides corrosion resistance and stable long-term contact.
-
Bell Mouth Entry & Inspection Hole: Facilitates easy insertion of stranded conductors and allows visual confirmation of full insertion prior to crimping. (Used in Superlec design) Superlec Direct
-
Seamless Tube Construction: Prevents weak points or seams that could crack under crimp stress. (Mullingare mentions seamless tube construction) Mullingar Electrical
-
Standards & Specs: According to CABAC, the lug is made of 99.95% copper, fully annealed, and tin plated. cabac.com.au
-
Versatile Application: Suitable for power distribution panels, grounding buses, battery terminals, industrial distribution systems, switchgear, etc.

Installation / Usage Guidelines
-
Strip the cable insulation, ensuring no strands are nicked.
-
Fully insert the bare conductor into the lug barrel (use inspection hole to check).
-
Crimp with the proper die / tool rated for 25 mm² lugs to effect a solid and uniform crimp.
-
Attach the lug to the 8 mm stud / bolt using the correct washer and torque (avoid over-torque).
-
Inspect the mechanical and electrical connection after installation.
-
In corrosive or moist environments, periodic checks are recommended (despite tin plating) to detect any loosening or oxidation.
Notes & Considerations
-
Always match the crimp die / tool to 25 mm lug specification to ensure reliable compression.
-
Over-tightening the M8 stud may deform the lug — follow recommended torque values.
-
When connecting to dissimilar metals (e.g. aluminum bus), consider transition or bi-metallic lugs to mitigate galvanic corrosion.
