Intercable ICD12012 Compression Cable Lug DIN 46235 120 mm² M12 Tin-Plated

Large copper conductors in industrial power distribution demand terminations that can handle high current without overheating or loosening. The Intercable ICD12012 compression cable lug delivers a gas-tight crimp connection on 120 mm² stranded copper cables, terminating to an M12 bolt. Its tin-plated electrolytic copper construction resists corrosion and ensures low contact resistance, making it a reliable choice for switchgear, busbar systems, and heavy machinery.

Who is it for

Electricians, panel builders, and maintenance technicians working on power distribution networks, industrial control panels, and switchgear will find this lug essential. It is specifically designed for terminating stranded copper conductors with a cross-section of 120 mm² to an M12 stud or bolt, where a durable and low-resistance connection is critical for safety and performance.

Main features

• Conforms to DIN 46235, ensuring standardized dimensions and reliable performance.
• Manufactured from high-conductivity electrolytic copper (E-Cu) for excellent electrical characteristics.
• Tin-plated surface provides corrosion protection and facilitates soldering if required.
• Designed for crimping with standard hexagonal dies, creating a gas-tight, vibration-resistant connection.
• Uninsulated tubular barrel with a single M12 bolt hole for secure fastening.
• Suitable for use in cable lugs, connectors, and busbar terminations.

Tips

Always use a calibrated hexagonal crimping tool with the correct die size for 120 mm² conductors to achieve a proper gas-tight connection. Inspect the crimp for symmetry and ensure no strands are left outside the barrel. For harsh environments, consider additional heat-shrink insulation or anti-corrosion compound over the connection.
