ABB Installation Products Color-Keyed Compression Lugs

ABB Installation Products Color-Keyed Compression Lugs are designed to provide a high degree of reliability in electrical wiring. These compression lugs are banded by colored stripes or engraving to indicate the location of the die on the connector for compression. The color-keyed compression lugs produce a circumferential, hex-, or diamond-shaped compression rather than a simple indent. These compression lugs shape the connector and conductor into a solid using matching dies. The color-keyed compression lugs offer inspection capability and meet industry standards. These compression lugs allow terminations in narrow spaces without cable bending and minimal bus bar space. Typical applications include grounding and bonding, power distribution, renewable energy, data centers, rail and transit, commercial construction, and industrial automation.

Features

  • Precision dies - create a circumferential hex- or diamond-shaped compression for assured high conductivity
  • Low resistance - high pull-out values
  • Allows terminations in narrow spaces without cable bending and minimal bus bar space
  • Standard angles or custom configurations
  • Shure-Stake® crimp mechanism ensures proper termination every time
