Product identity and intended use

The Thomas & Betts 54880BE is a straight long-barrel compression lug rated for up to 35 kV. It is designed for installers terminating 750 kcmil stranded copper conductors in high-voltage industrial and utility applications.

Capacity and headroom

The lug accommodates a maximum conductor size of 750 kcmil with a barrel outside diameter of 1.33 in and a die code of 106. It provides two mounting holes on 1.75 in centers for 1/2 in studs but has no inspection hole for visual verification.

Build integration and trade-offs

The electro-tin plated copper body carries CSA certification and UL E9809 listing for crimp termination. The fixed tongue width of .27 in and straight angle suit standard bus-bar patterns, while the absence of an inspection hole means installers must rely on crimp-tool indicators alone.

Questions about this item

Will the 1.75 in hole spacing on this 750 kcmil lug match the bus bars on my existing switchgear?

The lug has two holes on 1.75 in centres for 1/2 in studs; verify your bus-bar pattern before crimping.

How can I confirm the crimp on the 750 kcmil conductor is correct after installation?

Use a die coded 106; a proper crimp shows full barrel fill and the tin-plated copper surface remains intact.

Does the 54880BE lug come with mounting bolts or heat-shrink tubing?

The package contains only the electro-tin plated copper lug; bolts, washers and insulation must be sourced separately.
