Thomas & Betts 54864BE Two-Hole Long Barrel Copper Compression Lug

Description:

The Thomas & Betts 54864BE Two-Hole Long Barrel Copper Compression Lug is used to terminate 3/0 AWG copper conductors in power distribution, grounding, and electrical control systems. Commonly installed in switchgear, transformers, substations, motor control centers, utility networks, and industrial electrical equipment, this two-hole long-barrel blind-end lug features high-conductivity wrought copper with an electro tin-plated finish for a reliable, 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 54864BE is designed for terminating 3/0 AWG copper conductors to busbars, switchgear, transformers, panelboards, grounding systems, and other electrical equipment using a two-hole mounting configuration. Its long-barrel design maximizes conductor contact for superior crimp performance, while the dual-hole pad minimizes lug rotation under vibration. The blind-end construction helps ensure proper conductor insertion depth and provides a secure compression termination for commercial, industrial, utility, and renewable energy applications. It is UL listed for 600 V applications and recommended for systems operating up to 35 kV.
