Burndy YA34N Compression Lug 500 kcmil
The Burndy YA34N is a copper compression lug built for 500 kcmil stranded copper conductors. It features a long barrel and a single 1/2 inch stud hole with a straight tongue measuring 1.55 inches wide. The connector carries a brown color code and die code 20 299 for proper crimp tool selection.
Suited for 500 kcmil copper terminations up to 35 kV
Electricians and panel builders terminating a single 500 kcmil copper cable at 35 kV maximum will find this lug matches the conductor size and stud requirement. Installations that need an inspection window, a different stud diameter, or a shorter barrel length should select an alternative connector.
500 kcmil conductor size with 1/2 inch stud
The lug is rated for a minimum and maximum stranded copper wire size of 500 kcmil and a 1/2 inch stud. This single specification determines whether the connector fits the cable and the mounting hardware in the application.

Questions about this item
Does the 194 °F maximum operating temperature limit how much current I can push through this lug continuously?
The lug is rated for 194 °F maximum operating temperature, so continuous current must stay within the ampacity that keeps the copper below that limit in your specific installation.
What crimp tool and die do I need to terminate a 500 kcmil copper conductor in this lug?
Use a crimp tool that accepts Burndy die code 20 (also referenced as 299) to compress the long barrel onto 500 kcmil stranded copper.
Can I bolt this 1/2 in stud lug onto a bus bar drilled for 3/8 in hardware without an adapter?
No, the lug has a 1/2 in stud hole; it requires a matching 1/2 in bolt or stud and cannot be fastened directly to 3/8 in hardware.
