Panduit A2-14RH-C 2AWG 1/4" Stud Compression Lug

Panduit A2-14RH-C 2 AWG Tin-Plated Compression Lug

The Panduit A2-14RH-C Pan-Lug compression terminal delivers military-grade wire termination for 2 AWG battery cables and power distribution in security, access control, and UPS backup installations. Engineered with a 45° angle bend and 1/4" stud hole, this tin-plated copper lug solves the tight-clearance problems integrators face when landing heavy-gauge conductors on battery posts, backup power terminals, and DC distribution blocks. Sold in 100-piece contractor packs and cULus listed to UL 486A-486B, the A2-14RH-C meets both commercial electrical code and military pullout strength requirements when crimped with Panduit-recommended tooling.

Key Features

• 2 AWG wire capacity with 1/4" stud hole — fits standard battery terminals and DC distribution lugs
• 45° offset bend — clears tight spaces on crowded battery racks and power distribution blocks
• Tin-plated to ASTM Class C specification — corrosion-resistant finish for long service life in utility rooms and outdoor enclosures
• Solid barrel without inspection window — prevents dust, moisture, and oxidation from entering the crimp zone
• Flared barrel entry — guides stranded and flexible conductors into position without fraying
• cULus Listed to UL 486A-486B — approved for 600V power applications in the US and Canada
• Meets US Military pullout strength specs — high-vibration and shock-load rated when installed per Panduit crimp specifications
• 100-pack quantity — economical for multi-battery UPS installations and access control power distribution projects

Security and access control integrators routinely spec 2 AWG cable for runs between central UPS batteries and power distribution panels — the wire size balances voltage drop, cost, and physical handling. The A2-14RH-C's 1/4" stud hole mates directly with the threaded posts found on sealed lead-acid batteries (12V 7AH through 200AH), battery disconnect switches, and industrial DC terminal blocks. The 45° angle rotates the wire exit away from adjacent terminals, solving the clearance problem when landing four or six cables on a crowded battery rack. Tin plating per ASTM Class C guards against galvanic corrosion in mixed-metal environments and resists tarnishing in high-humidity spaces like basement equipment rooms and outdoor NEMA enclosures.

The solid barrel design — no inspection window cutout — prevents contaminants from migrating into the crimp interface, a failure mode that causes resistance creep and heat buildup over multi-year service intervals. The flared entry guides fine-strand welding cable and DLO (diesel locomotive cable) into the barrel without snagging, reducing prep time and rejected crimps. When compressed with Panduit CT-920 or equivalent hydraulic crimp tooling, the A2-14RH-C achieves pullout strength exceeding MIL-DTL-27615 requirements — critical for mobile equipment, vehicular installations, and high-shock industrial environments. The cULus dual-listing covers both UL 486A (wire connectors for general wiring) and UL 486B (splicing connectors), making the lug code-compliant for branch circuit wiring, feeder circuits, and grounding electrode conductors in commercial occupancies.

Packaged in 100-piece quantities, the A2-14RH-C supports large UPS battery strings, access control system power distribution, and CCTV central power installations where integrators land dozens of battery interconnects and DC feeder cables in a single project. The competitor cross-reference (5953DV) confirms dimensional and electrical interchangeability with legacy installations, simplifying retrofit and expansion work. For 2 AWG terminations to 1/4" studs in corrosion-prone or code-governed environments, the Panduit A2-14RH-C provides the installation speed, pullout strength, and agency compliance commercial integrators require.
