Panduit A1/0-38RH-C 1/0 AWG Compression Lug

The Panduit A1/0-38RH-C Pan-Lug compression lug handles 1/0 AWG conductors and terminates to 3/8-inch studs with a 45-degree barrel angle—designed for battery banks, UPS installations, and DC power distribution where space is tight and corrosion resistance matters. Tin-plated copper construction meets ASTM Class C specs; closed-barrel design keeps moisture and contaminants out; cULus listing covers you for commercial and industrial power applications. Sold in 100-piece contractor packs.

Key Features

1/0 AWG wire capacity for high-current battery and UPS terminations

3/8-inch stud diameter fits standard battery posts, bus bars, and grounding points

45° barrel angle provides clearance in dense cabinets and tight rack spaces

Tin-plated copper per ASTM Class C—corrosion-resistant for long service life in telecom and data-center environments

Closed barrel with no inspection window prevents moisture ingress and contamination

Flared barrel entry simplifies insertion of flex and stranded conductors

cULus Listed to UL 486A-486B for power applications in the US and Canada

Meets US Military wire pullout specs when crimped with Panduit-recommended tooling

100-pack quantity supports multi-string battery arrays and fleet rollouts

The A1/0-38RH-C uses a closed-barrel construction—no inspection window—to keep out dust, moisture, and cable lube that can accelerate corrosion in critical DC power paths. The flared barrel mouth guides 1/0 AWG stranded copper smoothly into the crimp zone, reducing prep time and the risk of stray strands. Tin plating adheres to ASTM Class C thickness and uniformity requirements, delivering proven corrosion resistance in coastal, industrial, and below-grade installations where humidity and temperature swings are routine.

The 45-degree bend between barrel and stud positions the wire at an angle that clears adjacent terminals, cable trays, and enclosure walls—common pain points when landing multiple strings on a shared bus bar or battery post. The 3/8-inch stud diameter matches the most common lug holes on VRLA batteries, bus bars, and grounding lugs in UPS cabinets, telecom rectifiers, and solar combiner boxes. Overall length is 1.93 inches from barrel end to stud tip, compact enough for dense arrays yet long enough to provide mechanical strain relief.

cULus listing to UL 486A-486B confirms that the lug meets North American standards for electrical and mechanical performance in power circuits. When you crimp with Panduit MD6-series or equivalent hex dies, pullout strength exceeds US Military specifications—critical for mobile telecom shelters, shipboard power systems, and other high-vibration or shock-load environments. The closed barrel also simplifies code compliance in jurisdictions that prohibit exposed conductor strands or require sealed terminations in wet or classified locations.

Supplied in 100-piece packages, the A1/0-38RH-C supports battery-bank expansions, UPS retrofits, and new-build data centers without mid-project reordering. Compatible with Panduit CT-series hydraulic crimpers and standard hex dies; consult Panduit tooling charts for exact die and indent specifications to ensure pullout strength and conductor retention meet installation requirements.
