Copper Short Barrel Compression Lugs
Designed for professional electrical installations, these lugs deliver reliable mechanical strength and consistent electrical performance while allowing efficient installation in tighter spaces where long barrel connectors may not fit.
Manufactured from high-conductivity copper and finished with uniform electro-tin plating, copper short barrel compression lugs offer excellent corrosion resistance and reduced contact resistance. The tin-plated finish protects the copper from oxidation while maintaining optimal conductivity in both indoor and outdoor electrical environments.
This collection includes both 1-hole and 2-hole copper compression lugs, providing flexible installation options depending on the stability and mounting requirements of the electrical equipment.
1-Hole Copper Short Barrel Compression Lugs
Single-hole compression lugs are commonly used for terminating copper conductors to bus bars, grounding bars, electrical panels, transformers, and switchgear. The compact short barrel design allows for fast installation and efficient use of space while still delivering strong compression connections when installed with the correct die index.
These connectors are ideal for electrical panels, service equipment, motor connections, HVAC equipment, and general power distribution applications.
2-Hole Copper Short Barrel Compression Lugs
Two-hole compression lugs provide additional mechanical stability and help prevent lug rotation after installation. The dual mounting holes allow the lug to be securely bolted to bus bars or terminals, making them especially useful in applications involving vibration, thermal cycling, or high current loads.
Two-hole lugs are commonly used in switchgear, transformers, industrial equipment, grounding systems, and utility power distribution installations.
