Detailed Description
Overview
This cable lug is designed to provide a secure termination for a 50 mm² (or equivalent 50 mm conductor) cable and connect it reliably to an 8 mm (M8) stud or bolt. It is constructed from annealed, high-conductivity copper, and coated with a tin finish to resist oxidation and maintain stable electrical contact under load.
Key Features & Benefits
-
High Conductivity Copper Core — minimizes resistance and voltage drop.
-
Tin Plating — enhances corrosion resistance and ensures reliable contact surface.
-
Bell Mouth Entry — helps to guide cable strands smoothly and reduce stress at the entry. (Often included in 50/8 lugs) Superlec Direct+1
-
Inspection / Window Hole — allows the installer to visually confirm the conductor is fully inserted before crimping. (Standard feature in many 50/8 lugs) Armoured Cable+1
-
Seamless Tube / Robust Barrel Construction — ensures mechanical strength and uniform contact, resisting deformation under crimping stress.
-
Wide Application — suitable for power distribution, switchgear, grounding, battery terminations, industrial wiring, and more.

Installation / Usage Guidelines
-
Strip the insulation carefully, protecting the conductor strands.
-
Insert the bare conductor fully into the lug barrel, verifying via the inspection window/hole.
-
Use the correct crimping die/tool specified for 50 mm² lugs to apply a uniform crimp.
-
Mount the lug onto the 8 mm stud/bolt using suitable washer and torque (do not over-tighten).
-
Confirm mechanical stability and electrical continuity after installation.
-
In corrosive or harsh environments, periodically inspect the connection even though tin plating offers protection.
Important Notes & Considerations
-
Use matching crimp dies — improper crimping (too loose or too tight) compromises conductivity and reliability.
-
Do not exceed torque limits on the M8 stud — excessive torque may deform the lug or damage the cable.
-
In installations connecting dissimilar metals (copper lug to aluminium bus or bar), consider using a bimetallic transition lug to reduce galvanic corrosion.
