Conversions Tech Tinned Copper Compression Lug – 2 AWG, 3/8″ Stud
The Conversions Tech Tinned Copper Compression Lug is a seamless tubular, heavy-duty electrical connector engineered for 2 AWG copper conductors and a 3/8″ stud interface. Manufactured from high-purity copper and fully tin plated, this lug delivers excellent electrical conductivity, corrosion resistance, and long-term mechanical stability in medium-to-high current power distribution applications.
The seamless barrel construction promotes uniform compression during crimping, helping reduce electrical resistance while improving pull-out strength and vibration resistance. The 3/8″ stud ring is ideal for bus bars, battery terminals, grounding points, and industrial distribution blocks where larger hardware and stronger mechanical retention are required.
Key Features

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What wire size is this compression lug designed for?
This lug is designed specifically for 2 AWG copper conductors.
What stud size does this lug fit?
It is designed for a 3/8″ stud and uses a nominal 0.390″ stud hole.
Is this lug seamless or welded?
This is a seamless tubular compression lug, designed for uniform crimping and strong mechanical performance.
Why is this lug tin plated?
Tin plating improves corrosion resistance, reduces oxidation, and helps maintain stable electrical contact over time.
What voltage rating does this lug support?
This lug is rated for applications up to 600V.
What crimping tool should be used?
Use a hydraulic or dieless compression crimp tool rated for 2 AWG copper lugs and follow the tool manufacturer’s die/index guidance.
What is the recommended strip length?
The recommended strip length is 0.710″ to ensure full conductor insertion and proper compression.
Can this lug be used outdoors?
Yes. For best results in wet or corrosive environments, seal the termination with adhesive-lined heat shrink.
Is this lug suitable for aluminum wire?
No. This lug is designed for copper conductors only. Use an AL/CU-rated connector for aluminum conductors.
Do dimensions change between 1/4″, 5/16″, and 3/8″ stud versions?
In this seamless tubular 2 AWG series, the primary change is the stud hole size. Always verify tongue clearance requirements (washer OD, bus bar spacing, and hardware stack-up) for your specific installation.
