LUGS & CONNECTOR
Cable lugs/connector are the items used for connecting cable and wire conductors in electrical installations and equipment. These are used when permanent, direct fastening methods are not feasible or necessary. In general, lugs/connectors are fixed to cables and wires by inserting the conductor/s into the barrel (tube) of the device and then barrel is crimped, soldered or welded onto the conductor for secure mechanical and electrical joint. The connection end of the lugs/connectors is then fastened to connection point by means of a bolt, screw, or spring clip. Numerous sizes, configurations and material types are available to suit particular applications.
Cable lugs/connector for electrical use are made of copper, aluminum connectors, brass, and plated to optimize voltage transfer and inhibit metal oxidation. Cable lugs/connector can be found on the wiring systems of automobiles, electrical boxes, panels, generators, transformers, many durable goods, and for all electrical lugs/connector appliances.
Cable lugs/connector help you to connect electricity properly with low voltage drop and less thermal heat generation to avoid accident and terminal burnout. It is very necessary to use right sqmm size of lug and proper crimping lugs has to be done with the right suggested crimping tool.
