Product Identity

The Burndy 500 kcmil copper compression lug is a commercial-grade connector designed for terminating a single 500 kcmil stranded copper conductor. It features a two-hole NEMA mounting pattern with a 1.75 inch centre-to-centre spacing and a straight tongue measuring 1.55 inches wide.

Suitable Applications

This lug suits installers needing a UL 486A-486B and CSA certified crimp termination rated to 35 kV and 194 degrees F maximum operating temperature. It is not intended for aluminium conductors, smaller or larger copper wire sizes, single-hole mounting patterns, or angled tongue configurations.
