One-Hole Copper Compression Lug 500 kcmil

This compression lug is built for terminating a single 500 kcmil stranded copper conductor with a 3/8 inch stud. The seamless copper barrel and straight tongue provide a reliable crimp connection for industrial and electrical power distribution. It carries a UL Listing and a brown colour code for quick die identification.

Voltage and Temperature Limits for 35 kV

The lug is rated for a maximum operating voltage of 35 kV and a maximum temperature of 257 degrees F. These ratings define the safe envelope for permanent installations in switchgear, transformers or heavy machinery. Exceeding either limit can degrade the copper or insulation and void the UL Listing.

Crimp Installation With Standard 87 Die

Installation requires a hydraulic or mechanical crimp tool fitted with an 87 die to match the brown colour code. The barrel includes an inspection hole to verify full conductor insertion before crimping. A common error is using an incorrect die size, which produces a loose connection that overheats under load.

Questions about this item

Which stud size matches the lug I need?

The lug is built for a 3/8 in stud, so choose this version when your hardware uses that exact stud diameter.

What does the 500 kcmil rating mean once the lug is crimped?

It accepts stranded copper wire from 500 kcmil minimum to 500 kcmil maximum, giving a single, precise conductor size for a secure crimp.

How does the UL listing affect the voltage I can run through it?

UL Listed for up to 35 kV, so the lug is rated for high-voltage circuits within that limit.
