Burndy 8 AWG Copper Telecom Lug

This Burndy compression lug is built for stranded copper wire at 8 AWG. The long barrel design provides extended crimp length for commercial electrical and telecom installations. A straight tongue with a 0.44 in width fits a 1/4 in stud, and the red colour code matches die code 49 for quick identification.

Standards and temperature rating

The lug carries UL 486A-486B listing and CSA certification for code-compliant work. Rated to 35 kV maximum voltage and a 194 °F operating temperature, it meets the demands of high-voltage commercial circuits. Copper construction ensures low-resistance terminations when crimped correctly.

Verify wire size and tooling

Confirm the conductor is solidly 8 AWG stranded copper; the lug accepts no smaller or larger gauge. Ensure your crimp tool accommodates die code 49 and that the 1/4 in stud matches the mounting hardware. The 1.700 in barrel length requires sufficient clearance in the enclosure.

Questions about this item

Will the crimp connection on this 8 AWG lug need re-torquing or replacement over time?

The crimp termination creates a permanent joint that does not require re-torquing; replacement is only needed if the lug is physically damaged or the conductor is changed.

What is the first limit reached when this lug carries continuous current at its 35 kV rating?

The maximum operating temperature of 194 Degrees F is the primary thermal limit under sustained load.

How much heat does the copper barrel generate during all-day operation at rated current?

Copper's low resistance keeps heat rise minimal; the lug is rated to operate continuously up to 194 Degrees F without degradation.
