Thomas & Betts 54862BE Copper Compression Lug

Description:

The Thomas & Betts 54862BE Two-Hole Long Barrel Copper Compression Lug is used to terminate 2/0 AWG copper conductors in power distribution, grounding, and control systems. Commonly installed in switchgear, transformers, substations, motor control centers, utility networks, and industrial electrical equipment, this two-hole long-barrel lug features a blind-end barrel and electro tin-plated copper construction for a secure, low-resistance electrical connection. Maintenance teams and system integrators use this lug for repair, retrofit, expansion, and replacement of copper conductor terminations.

Applications:

The Thomas & Betts 54862BE is designed for terminating 2/0 AWG copper conductors to busbars, switchgear, transformers, panelboards, grounding systems, and electrical equipment using a two-hole mounting configuration. Its long-barrel design provides increased conductor contact and superior crimp performance, while the dual-hole pad minimizes lug rotation under vibration. It is suitable for commercial, industrial, utility, and renewable energy installations and is UL listed for 600 V applications with a maximum system rating of 35 kV.
