Panduit A4/0-38RF-C Compression Lug

Overview

The Panduit A4/0-38RF-C is a tin-plated compression lug designed for terminating 4/0 AWG stranded copper conductor to a 3/8 inch stud size. This lug is essential for creating secure, reliable power connections in industrial and commercial electrical systems, ensuring consistent conductivity and minimizing resistance. Its construction supports applications requiring robust wire termination, such as power distribution units, motor controls, and heavy-duty equipment hookups.

Compatibility

This compression lug is engineered for use with 4/0 AWG stranded copper wire and is designed to mate with 3/8 inch (M10) stud sizes. It is suitable for applications adhering to UL 486A-486B standards for power distribution, making it compatible with a wide range of electrical panels, switchgear, and busbars that utilize standard stud mounting hardware. The tin plating offers corrosion resistance, particularly in environments where moisture or mild chemical exposure is present.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a Panduit specified crimping tool (e.g., Panduit CT-900, CT-920, CT-930, or equivalent hydraulic crimping tools) to ensure a permanent, high-integrity connection. Proper crimping is critical for achieving the rated electrical performance and mechanical strength. The lug's overall length is 1.65 inches, and it is designed for single-conductor termination. Ensure the conductor is fully inserted into the barrel before crimping. The tin plating provides a barrier against galvanic corrosion when terminating copper conductors.
