A cable lug is an electrical connector used to terminate and connect electrical cables to equipment, terminals, or busbars safely and securely. It provides a strong mechanical and electrical connection between the cable conductor and electrical device.
Description of Cable Lug
A cable lug is typically made of high-conductivity copper or aluminium and is designed with a barrel and a palm (flat end with a hole). The cable is inserted into the barrel and crimped using a crimping tool to create a firm electrical connection. The palm part is then bolted to equipment terminals, busbars, or electrical panels.
