Why choose it

The galvanic tin plating delivers excellent corrosion protection, ensuring long-term performance even in demanding environments. The electrolytic copper base provides superior conductivity, while the inspection hole allows visual confirmation of full conductor insertion before crimping. Compliance with DIN 46235 guarantees dimensional accuracy and consistent quality.

Ideal use cases

• Terminating stranded copper conductors in electrical panels
• Creating secure connections to busbars, circuit breakers, and contactors
• Industrial machinery and control system wiring
• Power distribution in switchgear and motor control centers

Good to know

Use a suitable crimping tool with the correct die size for 16 mm² lugs to achieve a gas-tight connection. The uninsulated barrel requires additional insulation, such as heat-shrink tubing, if electrical isolation is needed. The lug is RoHS compliant and suitable for a wide temperature range from -55°C to +150°C.
