One-Hole Compression Lug 500 kcmil

This copper compression lug accepts a single 500 kcmil stranded copper conductor. It features a long barrel with a brown color code and die code 87 for proper crimp identification. The straight tongue measures 1.55 inches wide with a 3/8 inch stud hole and includes an inspection hole. It is UL Listed and rated for up to 35 kV maximum voltage.

Crimp termination practical limits

The lug uses a seamless crimp barrel that requires a compatible crimping tool and die set matching code 87. It is designed exclusively for copper conductors at exactly 500 kcmil with no size range flexibility. Maximum operating temperature is 257 degrees Fahrenheit. The single-hole mounting pattern suits straight busbar or terminal connections only.

Replaces shorter or two-hole lugs

This long-barrel version provides greater crimp contact area compared to short-barrel lugs for improved mechanical strength. The single-hole design replaces two-hole lugs where only one mounting point is available or required. The upgrade is worthwhile when UL Listing, 35 kV rating, and the inspection hole for visual verification are specified by the project standards.

Questions about this item

Which lug fits 500 kcmil copper cable with a 3/8 in stud hole?

This one-hole compression lug is built for a single 500 kcmil stranded copper conductor and a 3/8 in stud; the barrel is the long version with a brown colour code and die code 87.

What does the 35 kV rating mean once the lug is crimped in a panel?

The lug is UL Listed for up to 35 kV maximum voltage and 257 °F maximum operating temperature when the crimp is made with the correct die and tool.

How does the seamless copper barrel and single 1.55 in tongue affect the connection?

The seamless barrel eliminates a split seam, the 1.55 in tongue width spreads the bolt load, and the inspection hole lets you verify full conductor insertion before energising.
