3M 7000005888 Aluminum One Hole Lug 500 Kcmil 35 Kv

Product Description

The 3M 7000005888 is an aluminum one-hole lug designed for terminating copper or aluminum conductors in medium-voltage electrical systems rated up to 35 kV. The lug features a 5/8-inch stud size, an inner diameter of 0.843 inches, and an overall length of 5.440 inches. A contact aid is pre-applied inside the barrel, making it compatible with polyethylene and EPR insulation systems. Color-coded end caps allow quick visual identification during installation and inspection. This lug is sold individually and is suited for use with 500 kcmil conductors.

This lug is used in medium-voltage termination applications in commercial and industrial electrical installations. It is appropriate for use where copper or aluminum conductors require a reliable mechanical and electrical connection at stud-mounted terminal points. The pink color-coded end cap identifies the specific conductor size range, aiding efficiency in multi-lug installations. Licensed electricians working on switchgear, transformers, and medium-voltage cable terminations are the primary installers of this product.
