Lugs and links

Thomas & Betts (today a Member of the ABB Group) developed the first tool-

to industry awareness of the need for better performance of electrical systems.
Today, our Spec-Kon lugs and links are renowned for higher quality, delivering easy
installation and reliable connections.

The quality of this humble component is often compromised homogenous mass to provide an optimum electrical bond.

Copper standard lugs

Spec-Kon CZ lugs are made from over 99.95% pure, high conductivity Copper as per the
International Annealed Copper Standard. They are also Tin plated for protection against
corrosion. They are rated for voltage up to 30kV suitable for use with stranded (class 2)
and flexible (class 5) power cables according to AS/NZS 1125 and IEC 60228. The barrel
diameters and thicknesses are in accordance with the Australian Barrel Scheme. This allows
the lugs to be crimped accurately with equivalent dies and tools offered by recognized
Australian suppliers.

Copper bell-mouth lugs

These lugs are similar in design to standard lugs but come with a flared funnel- shaped barrel
designed to ease cable insertion. This becomes extremely useful when crimping fine stranded
flexible cable. This is because the fine conductor strands splay outward after stripping the
insulation. Larger flexible cables (185mm2 upwards) will simply not fit into the nominal sized
lug. In this scenario, the industry practice is to use the next size up lug, executing the crimp
with a hybrid die (half cable size, half lug size).

Copper circuit-breaker lugs

These lugs are designed with a narrow palm and are ideal for connecting to circuit breakers
with limited terminal tunnel widths. The barrel of these lugs are designed as per the Australian
Barrel Scheme hence the same crimping rules apply. The barrel entry has a bell-mouth design
to ease cable insertion, specially when using fine stranded (flexible) cable.

Copper long barrel lugs

Long barrel lugs are designed for installation into harsh, outdoor or industrial conditions.
The long barrel creates a larger contact surface area which contributes to lower electrical
resistance and also prevents cable pull-out due to vibration and mechanical strain. Additionally
these lugs are also internally solder-sealed at the palm, and the viewing window is absent. This
creates an air-tight crimp protecting the joint from water and dust ingress.

Spec-Kon®
Copper long palm and long barrel lugs

These lugs are available as usually punched with two bolt holes and are designed for
installation into harsh, outdoor or industrial conditions. The long barrel creates a larger contact
surface area which contributes to lower electrical resistance and also prevents cable pull-out
due to vibration and mechanical strain. Additionally these lugs are also internally solder-sealed
at the palm, and the viewing window is absent. This creates an air-tight crimp protecting the
joint from water and dust ingress.

Bi-metal lugs

These lugs are used to terminate Aluminium conductors to Copper termination points. They
are made from 99.9% pure copper palm and 99.6% pure aluminium barrel, friction-welded
together for a strong and highly conductive electrical joint. Each lug is individually packaged
and comes capped with jointing compound pre-filled inside the barrel ready for use. These
lugs are crimped using dies compatible with Aluminium barrels.

Copper C-shaped connectors

Furse CN series C-tap connectors are designed for parallel connection of two conductors such
as cables with cables or earth rods in tight spaces. They are made from 99.9% pure IACS
Copper in accordance with EN16800. Care must be taken during underground installations
to ensure connections are sealed/waterproofed. This can be done using Denso Tape. These
products are also available in Tin plated variants. Please add suffix ‘T’ to cat number if
required. Example CN1010-T. Additional styles such as wide-jaw connectors and Figure 6 and
Figure 8 connectors also available

Lugs featuring the Color-Keyed® system

The world-renowned Color-Keyed® method of installing compression connectors

on power cables is designed to provide the highest degree of reliability in electrical
wiring. This method allows electrical contractors to make installations with little
effort and at a considerable savings in time. The benefit is a high-quality, standards
compliant connection at low installed cost.

These premium lugs have coloured bands that correspond to colour markings on the dies. Lugs and dies also have a die code
number marked or stamped on them. Dies have a code number engraved in the crimp surface. This allows for easy inspection
and validation of a connection during commissioning phase or as part of a maintenance schedule.
