500 kcmil Aluminium Compression Terminal

This Burndy compression lug accepts a single 500 kcmil stranded aluminium or copper conductor. The barrel carries a pink colour code and die code 300 for quick crimp-tool identification. It is rated for 35 kV maximum voltage and 194 °F operating temperature. UL 486A-486B listed and CSA certified for commercial use.

Verify Conductor and Stud Before Ordering

Confirm the circuit uses 500 kcmil stranded aluminium or copper wire; smaller or larger gauges will not fit the barrel. Ensure the mounting hardware matches the 5/8 inch stud size and that a straight tongue suits the bus-bar layout. Check that the 1.8 inch tongue width clears adjacent terminals in the enclosure.

Integrates Into Panel and Bus-Bar Builds

The straight, single-hole tongue bolts directly to a 5/8 inch stud on bus bar or equipment pad. Crimp termination eliminates set-screw maintenance and frees installer time compared with mechanical lugs. Aluminium body reduces weight in large feeder runs while meeting 35 kV insulation requirements. No inspection hole means visual verification relies on die-code marking after crimp.

Questions about this item

Does the terminal ship with any crimp dies, inspection-hole plugs or mounting hardware, or must those be purchased separately?

The terminal is supplied as a single aluminium compression lug. No crimp dies, inspection-hole plugs or mounting bolts are included; they must be sourced separately.

The spec sheet lists die code 300 and a barrel colour code of pink — how do I match those to my crimp tool?

Die code 300 identifies the correct crimp die set for 500 kcmil aluminium or copper conductors, and the pink colour code on the barrel provides a visual check that the matching die is being used.

The lug is rated 35 kV and 194 °F — what do those limits mean when the connection is under load in a panel?

The 35 kV rating is the maximum system voltage the insulation and clearances can withstand, while 194 °F is the highest continuous conductor temperature the aluminium barrel and crimp joint are certified to handle.
