FAQs

What conductor size does this lug accept?
Up to 500 MCM (kcmil) copper. (Note: often mis-stated as “500 AWG”; the correct designation is 500 MCM.)
Is this a standard or long barrel?
Standard barrel (1.30″), engineered for efficient multi-crimp terminations.
What bolt size and spacing are on the pad?
Two 1/2″ holes on 1-3/4″ center-to-center spacing.
What’s the color code?
Brown for quick visual identification of the size family.
Why tin-plated?
Tin plating helps resist oxidation and eases post-crimp inspection; it also improves surface compatibility under hardware.
What is the die index?
I-87. Always follow your crimp tool manufacturer’s die chart for 500 MCM copper.
Does it include mounting hardware?
No—bolts, nuts, and washers are supplied by the equipment/bus manufacturer.
Can this be used with aluminum conductors?
No—this lug is for copper conductors. Use a bimetal or aluminum-rated lug for Al conductors.
What’s the temperature and voltage rating?
Rated 90 °C and up to 35 kV when installed per design and insulated appropriately.
What is the sight window for?
It confirms the conductor has been fully inserted to the correct depth before crimping.
How many crimps are required?
Follow your tool’s chart for 500 MCM standard-barrel lugs (typically multiple crimps along the 1.30″ barrel).
Do you offer other hole patterns or sizes?
Yes—browse our Two-Hole Compression Lugs collection or request custom pad patterns.
