Thomas & Betts 60142 One-Hole Long Barrel Aluminum Compression Lug

Description:

The Thomas & Betts Color-Keyed 60142 One-Hole Long Barrel Aluminum Compression Lug is used to terminate 3/0 AWG aluminum or copper conductors in power distribution, grounding, and electrical control systems. Commonly installed in switchgear, transformers, substations, panelboards, utility distribution equipment, and industrial electrical installations, this long-barrel blind-end lug is manufactured from high-conductivity wrought aluminum with an electro tin-plated finish to provide a reliable, low-resistance electrical connection. Maintenance teams and system integrators use this lug for repair, retrofit, expansion, and replacement of aluminum and copper conductor terminations. 

Applications:

The Thomas & Betts Color-Keyed 60142 is designed for terminating 3/0 AWG aluminum or copper conductors to busbars, switchgear, transformers, panelboards, motor control centers, and grounding systems using a one-hole mounting configuration with a 3/8-inch stud. Its long-barrel blind-end design maximizes conductor contact and crimp reliability, while the Color-Keyed® compression system ensures proper die selection for consistent installations. The connector is suitable for commercial, industrial, utility, and renewable energy applications operating on systems rated from 600 V up to 35 kV.
