Burndy Side Entry Terminal 3/0 AWG Copper .25 in Thick

Side-Entry Terminal for Copper Conductors

This Burndy terminal accepts stranded copper wire from 3/0 AWG up to 4/0 AWG and terminates it with a single 3/8 in stud hole. The hex-head design allows standard tool engagement for secure fastening in commercial electrical installations. Rated for 600 V and a maximum operating temperature of 194 Degrees F, it suits panel and enclosure wiring where reliable copper-to-copper connections are required.

Behaviour Under Sustained Load

The copper body maintains consistent conductivity at the full 600 V rating and up to the 194 Degrees F temperature limit during continuous operation. With a tongue thickness of .25 in and a single termination point, the connector resists loosening and heat rise when subjected to steady current rather than brief surges. The mechanical crimp on 3/0 to 4/0 AWG conductors provides stable contact resistance over extended duty cycles.

Compatibility Checks Before Ordering

Verify that your conductor is stranded copper within the 3/0 AWG to 4/0 AWG range and that the mounting hardware matches a 3/8 in stud with a .41 in hole diameter. Ensure the available space accommodates the 1.06 in tongue length and 1 in tongue width for proper alignment. Confirm the system voltage does not exceed 600 V and that the operating environment stays within the 194 Degrees F maximum temperature rating.
