Panduit CBS35-14-C Pan-Lug Mechanical Lug, 1-Hole Single Barrel, 100-Pack

Overview

The Panduit CBS35-14-C is a single-barrel, one-hole mechanical cable lug from the Pan-Lug™ series — built for copper conductor terminations where a reliable, serviceable connection matters more than a permanent crimp. The CBS35-14-C is constructed from high-strength electrolytic copper, delivering the conductivity and mechanical integrity you need at panel boards, bus bars, and equipment lugs in commercial electrical and low-voltage security infrastructure installations. Sold in packs of 100, this lug is a practical stocking item for contractors and integrators running multiple termination points on a single project.

Key Features

• Electrolytic Copper Construction: High-strength electrolytic copper provides premium electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance. In panel termination work, the material quality directly affects contact resistance over time — electrolytic copper maintains consistent performance across the connection's service life rather than degrading under thermal cycling.
• Plated Steel Set Screw: The set screw delivers a durable electrical contact between conductor and connector. Plated steel resists corrosion at the fastener interface, which matters in environments with humidity or temperature swings typical of mechanical rooms and security head-end closets.
• Internal Pressure Bar and V-Bottom Collar: These two features work together to distribute clamping force uniformly around the conductor. Uneven clamping is a common root cause of high-resistance joints — the pressure bar and V-collar geometry in the CBS35-14-C eliminate that failure mode by ensuring the conductor is seated and secured consistently regardless of operator torque variation.
• Wide Wire Range-Taking Capability: The lug's geometry accommodates a broad range of conductor sizes, which means a single SKU covers multiple wire gauges on a project. That directly reduces inventory depth — instead of stocking three separate lug sizes for a panel run, one CBS35-14-C part number handles the spread.
• 600V Rating, cULus Listed: Listed for use up to 600V, this lug is suitable for power distribution terminations at standard commercial voltages. The cULus listing satisfies inspector and AHJ requirements in both US and Canadian jurisdictions without additional documentation.
• 90°C Temperature Rating: Rated to 90°C conductor temperature, the CBS35-14-C is compatible with THHN/THWN-2 and similar 90°C-rated wire commonly used in building wiring and control panel construction. Mismatching a 60°C-rated lug to 90°C wire is a code violation — this lug avoids that issue.
• Bare Finish: The bare (unplated) copper finish keeps the termination straightforward for standard copper-to-copper connections. No tin or silver plating means no concern about dissimilar-metal compatibility for copper conductor applications.
• 100-Pack Quantity: The CBS35-14-C ships in a 100-unit pack — priced and packaged for project-volume use rather than single-termination repair. For integrators terminating security system power feeds, sub-panel runs, or ground bus connections across multiple access points, buying at pack quantity eliminates per-unit overhead on a high-frequency consumable.

Integration & Compatibility

The CBS35-14-C (often searched as CBS35 14 C) is designed for copper conductors only — do not apply to aluminum wire without confirming the lug's aluminum rating separately. The one-hole mounting configuration suits standard single-bolt lug positions on bus bars, terminal blocks, and equipment ground/line terminals. The cULus listing aligns with requirements for listed electrical equipment in commercial installations; verify your specific panel or equipment manufacturer's termination requirements for conductor size range before specifying.

In wire termination applications typical of security and low-voltage infrastructure — including power distribution to access control panels, video surveillance head ends, and intercom system power supplies — the CBS35-14-C provides a code-compliant, field-serviceable termination that can be re-torqued or replaced without cutting back the conductor.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What voltage rating does the CBS35-14-C carry?

A: The CBS35-14-C is cULus Listed for use up to 600V, making it suitable for standard commercial power distribution terminations in both US and Canadian installations.

Q: Is the CBS35-14-C compatible with aluminum conductors?

A: The CBS35-14-C is made from high-strength electrolytic copper and is designed for copper conductor terminations. Aluminum conductor applications require a separately rated lug — do not use this part with aluminum wire without verifying an aluminum rating for the specific model.

Q: What temperature rating does the CBS35-14-C support?

A: The CBS35-14-C is temperature rated to 90°C, making it compatible with THHN/THWN-2 and other 90°C-rated conductors commonly used in commercial building wiring and control panel construction.

Q: How many lugs come in one package?

A: Each order of the CBS35-14-C includes 100 lugs per pack, priced for project-volume consumption. The pack quantity makes it practical for stocking on multi-termination commercial or security infrastructure projects.

Q: What is the overall height of the CBS35-14-C?

A: The CBS35-14-C measures 0.55 inches (14mm) in overall height and 1.43 inches in overall length — compact enough for dense termination environments in panel boards and enclosures.

Q: Does the CBS35-14-C require a crimp tool?

A: No. The CBS35-14-C is a mechanical lug — termination is achieved via the plated steel set screw and internal pressure bar, not crimping. This makes it field-serviceable: the conductor can be re-torqued or removed without special tooling beyond a standard wrench or driver.
