Connector for 8 AWG Copper Wire

This compression lug accepts stranded copper conductors up to 8 AWG and terminates them on a 1/4 inch stud. The barrel is colour-coded red and carries die code 21 for quick identification. It is rated for 35 kV maximum voltage and 194 degrees F operating temperature. UL E9809 and CSA certifications confirm compliance with recognised safety standards.

Verify Wire Size and Stud Clearance

Confirm that the conductor is stranded copper no larger than 8 AWG before ordering. The single hole centres on a 1/4 inch stud, so check that the mounting hardware matches this diameter. The 90 degree angled barrel changes the cable exit direction, which may affect routing in tight enclosures. An inspection hole is provided for visual verification of wire insertion depth.

Copper Barrel With Angled Tongue

The body is solid copper with a standard barrel outside diameter of 0.25 inches and a tongue width of 0.06 inches. The angled barrel design redirects the conductor at 90 degrees, reducing bend radius stress at the termination point. Red colour coding matches common 8 AWG identification schemes for faster installation. The short barrel length keeps the overall footprint compact for panel work.

Questions about this item

Does the 54130UB lug ship with mounting hardware or crimping dies, or must those be purchased separately?

The connector is sold as a single piece; mounting bolts and the die coded 21 for crimping are not included and must be sourced separately.

When should I choose this red-coded 8 AWG lug instead of a different colour or size?

Select this lug when the conductor is stranded copper up to 8 AWG, the stud is 1/4 in, and the installation calls for a 90-degree angled barrel with a red colour code.

What does the 35 kV rating mean once the lug is crimped in a panel?

The lug is UL listed and CSA certified for continuous operation at up to 35 kV when properly crimped with the correct die on stranded copper wire.
