Aluminium Lugs
Aluminium Lugs: Cable termination options for licensed electricians
Aluminium lugs provide a termination point for aluminium conductors at compatible electrical terminals. SCHNAP's range includes standard, funnel-entry and shear-bolt designs, including the 70mm² M10 funnel-entry aluminium cable lug for specified conductor and stud requirements.
What's in This Range
- Utilux 16mm² aluminium cable lug — A listed option for cable terminations requiring this conductor size.
- Repelec 120mm² aluminium cable lug — A 120mm² option to check against the conductor and termination requirements.
- Repelec 185mm² shear-bolt aluminium lug — A shear-bolt format listed for aluminium conductor terminations in 185mm².
- Cabac 50mm² M10 funnel-entry lug — Its 50mm² conductor size and M10 stud detail can be checked against the cable and terminal.
- Cabac 500mm² long-palm aluminium lug — A long-palm design listed in 500mm²; check the product information for its installation method.
- Cabac 630mm² 12mm-stud aluminium lug — Listed as 630mm² with a 12mm stud designation; confirm the conductor and terminal match.
Who Uses This
Licensed electricians and electrical contractors use aluminium lugs for cable terminations on switchboards, distribution equipment and industrial installations. Commercial fit-outs and switchboard upgrades also require the lug to match the cable construction and terminal arrangement. Confirm conductor size, terminal stud, lug type and manufacturer instructions before installation.
Aluminium Lugs — Common Questions
How do I choose the correct aluminium lug size?
Match the lug's listed conductor size and terminal stud to the cable and hardware. For example, the Cabac 120mm² M12 funnel-entry lug specifies a 120mm² conductor size and M12 stud. Consult the manufacturer's guidance if the cable or terminal configuration differs.
When might a shear-bolt aluminium lug be suitable?
A shear-bolt model uses a bolted termination mechanism rather than a conventional crimp-style lug. SCHNAP's Cabac 240mm² shear-bolt aluminium lug is listed for a 70–240mm² range and solid or stranded, sector or circular aluminium or copper conductors. Check the manufacturer's instructions for the application.
Do all aluminium lugs use the same installation method?
No. The range includes funnel-entry crimp-style designs and shear-bolt models, which are not installed identically. Follow the product manufacturer's instructions for the method, crimp die or fastening procedure; do not assume one method applies to every lug.
