Burndy Long Barrel Telecom CU Lug 2 Hole 1/0AWG

Burndy 1/0 AWG Two-Hole Copper Lug

This Burndy long-barrel lug is a compression connector made from copper for terminating 1/0 AWG stranded copper conductors. It carries CSA certification and meets UL 486A-486B standards for use up to 35 kV AC and 194 degrees F. The straight tongue and pink colour code identify the die code 12 and 348 tooling required for a proper crimp.

Compatibility checks before ordering

Verify that the conductor is stranded copper sized exactly at 1/0 AWG, as the lug accepts no other gauge range. Confirm the stud size is 3/8 inch and that the mounting pattern provides a 1 inch hole centre-to-centre spacing. Ensure your crimp tool matches die code 12 and 348, and that the application voltage and temperature stay within the 35 kV AC and 194 degrees F ratings.

Build quality and daily implications

The copper body with long barrel length gives a large contact area for reliable electrical continuity in commercial installations. Two mounting holes on 1 inch centres resist vibration and prevent the lug from rotating under load. The straight tongue aligns cleanly with bus bars or terminal blocks, while the inspection hole absence means visual confirmation of wire insertion must be done before crimping. The pink colour band allows quick die selection in the field.
