Cable Lug for 300 mm² Conductor – 16 mm Mounting Hole, Tin-Plated Copper

Cable Lug for 300 mm² Conductor – 16 mm Mounting Hole, Tin-Plated Copper

GH₵190.00 GH₵220.00

Detailed Description

Overview
This cable lug is designed to terminate a 300 mm² copper conductor and allow secure bolting onto a 16 mm (M16) stud or bolt. It is constructed from high-conductivity annealed copper and finished with tin plating to prevent corrosion and maintain good electrical performance.

Key Features & Benefits

  • High purity copper (annealed) for excellent conductivity and ductility

  • Tin plating (5–10 microns typical) for corrosion resistance and enhanced contact surface

  • Seamless, solid barrel construction to ensure uniform compression and reliable connection

  • May include features like bell mouth / flared entry (for easier strand insertion)

  • Some versions might not have inspection hole (many large lugs drop inspection window) — e.g. HellermannTyton’s CL300-16 is described “all Copper Lugs above 240 mm² do not have an inspection hole.” 

  • Compliant with recognized standards (e.g. AS4325 / IEC / DIN) — CABAC’s 300 mm lug spec mentions compliance with AS4325.1. 

  • Suitable for heavy duty power distribution, transformer connections, switchgear, busbars, industrial installations

Specifications

Parameter Typical Value / Example

Operating temperature –55 °C to +155 °C (common spec for copper / tin lugs) 
Torque recommendation For M16 stud, CABAC spec lists ~ 190 Nm for 16 mm stud in their catalog.

Installation / Usage Guidelines

  1. Strip insulation cleanly, avoiding damage to strands.

  2. Insert bare conductor fully into the barrel.

  3. Use a proper crimping die/tool rated for 300 mm² copper lugs to make a uniform, solid crimp.

  4. Mount the lug onto the M16 stud/bolt with appropriate washer and torque (avoid over-tightening).

  5. After installation, inspect for mechanical firmness and electrical continuity.

  6. For heavy-duty or outdoor installations, periodically check for loosening or corrosion, though tin plating helps reduce degradation.

Cautions & Tips

  • Always match your crimp tool / die to the lug’s size (300 mm²) — wrong tools compromise reliability.

  • Do not over-torque the M16 stud — too much force can deform or damage.

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