  • Single 3/8 in stud hole for secure mounting

One-Hole Compression Lug 1/0 AWG

The Thomas & Betts 60130 is a one-hole compression lug built for 1/0 AWG stranded copper conductors. It provides a straight-barrel connection for industrial and utility power circuits rated up to 35 kV AC. The aluminum body carries a tin finish and a tan color code for quick identification. Electricians and maintenance crews use it for permanent crimp terminations on large-gauge feeder cables.

Crimp Installation and Common Issues

The lug terminates with a standard crimp tool using die code 50 on the long barrel. A proper crimp compresses the full barrel length to achieve the rated connection. The straight tongue mounts on a 3/8 in stud with a tongue width of .88 in. Missing the inspection hole means the installer cannot visually confirm conductor insertion depth, so the wire must bottom out by feel before crimping. An undersized die or incomplete compression creates a high-resistance joint that can overheat under load.

Voltage and Conductor Limits

The connector is UL Listed for a maximum of 35 kV AC on copper conductors only. It accepts stranded copper up to 1/0 AWG and is not rated for aluminum or copper-clad wire. The barrel outside diameter measures .62 in, which sets the minimum clearance needed in tight enclosures. The single-hole pattern prevents use on two-bolt bus pads or transformer spades that require dual-hole lugs. Builders needing a larger conductor size or a different stud diameter must select a different lug.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the 60130 lug is crimped correctly after installation?

The lug carries a UL Listed marking and uses die code 50; a proper crimp with the matching die should leave a uniform imprint and the barrel's 0.62 in outside diameter will show even compression.

What comes with the 60130 compression lug and what must I supply separately?

The package contains the one-hole aluminum lug with tin finish, 3/8 in stud hole and long barrel; you must provide 1/0 AWG stranded copper wire, a crimp tool with die code 50 and appropriate heat-shrink or tape for insulation.

When should I choose the long-barrel 60130 over a short-barrel version for 1/0 AWG copper?

Select the long-barrel 60130 when the application requires maximum contact length for 35 kV AC service or when the 0.88 in tongue width and straight barrel geometry suit the bus-bar layout better than a shorter barrel.
