Product Options

  • Part Numbers listed are Bare Copper. For Tinned Lug, add “TP” to end of part number.
  • For Bent Tang Lugs, add “45” or “90” to end of part number (after TP, if tinned).
  • For special tang widths, stud clearances, barrel lengths, or any option you don’t see, contact the Plant.

Description: ASK Power’s Heavy Duty Terminal Lugs, available with crimp or solder connections and bolted terminations, incorporate rounded tangs, flared barrel entry, and moderate-sloping transitions These lugs are bare copper and can be tinned or bent. Formed from high-purity annealed copper with heavy duty walls, they provide excellent ductility, conductivity, security, and tang strength. ASK non-insulated lugs accommodate wire sizes 8 Gauge through 4/0 AWG. Crimp barrels are sized to closely match commercial battery and power-cable strand diameters. Wire gauge and UL mark appears clearly on wire barrel.

Recommended Uses: ASK’s larger-gage cable lugs are used for power transmission and/or grounding in automotive or transformer applications. Rounded tangs allow for rotation of terminals around stud connections through 360 degree rotation, where cables must enter at any angle specified. Flared barrels allow for more highly-stranded battery cable to be submitted into funnel-entry crimp barrels for ease of insertion. This size range covers amperage from 40 Amps to 115 Amp service at 600 Volts per UL 486A. Pull test values range from 90 to 250 pounds at 8Ga and 1Ga respectively. Circular Mils, or the area in millimeters as defined by the stranding diameter, range from 11 to 32 for the 8Ga to 1Ga range.

Tooling and Application: Crimp lugs can be applied to cable via hand-actuated or hydraulic crimp tools. Our Heavy Duty Copper Lugs are UL Listed (UL 486 A) when using the Thomas and Betts M5 tool or the Burndy tool. These same lugs can be connected by solder-dipping. Single crimp is used for standard barrel lugs; double crimp for long or extended barrel lugs.
