• IP20 finger-safe protection rating on select models

Compression lugs provide a secure method of terminating electrical cables, especially high power or large diameter cables, to electrical equipment. Unlike mechanical lugs, that are screwed/clamped in place, these connectors are crimped onto the cable using the appropriate crimping tool for a permanent installation.

• Rated for use with copper conductors
• Beveled entry for easy cable insertion
• Color-coded barrels are marked with die index numbers
• Inspection window ensures full cable insertion

Mechanical lugs ensure proper and secure connections for copper and aluminum conductors and provide a long service life.

• Insulated ferrules
• Ring crimp terminals
• Fork terminals
• Butt connectors
• Disconnect terminals
• Pin terminals
• Bullet terminals
• Wire stripping & crimping tools

Connectors, receptacles, and pre-made electrical circular connection cables can be used to supply power and exchange signals with sensors and switches.
