Panduit A8-56R-C Battery Cable Lug 8 Awg

Product Description

The PANDUIT A8-56R-C is a battery cable lug designed for use with 8 AWG conductors. This compression-style terminal provides a reliable, low-resistance connection between battery cables and equipment terminals in automotive, marine, industrial, and stationary battery applications. The lug accepts a single 8 AWG cable and is sold individually. Electricians, battery technicians, and electrical contractors install this type of terminal when terminating battery bank wiring, backup power systems, or heavy-duty DC circuits that require a secure mechanical and electrical bond.

This lug is suited for both residential and commercial battery installations, including UPS systems, solar energy storage, generator starting circuits, and industrial battery banks. It is used wherever an 8 AWG cable must be terminated at a bolted lug connection point. The unit-of-measure is each, and it is sold as a single piece, making it straightforward to order in exact quantities needed for a given job.

Key Features

• Rated for 8 AWG conductor termination
• Designed for battery cable and DC power circuit applications
• Single-hole or ring-tongue lug configuration typical for bolted terminal connections
• Sold individually for precise quantity ordering
• Compact form factor suited for tight battery compartment installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation terminal lug compatible with 8 AWG battery cables in DC power and battery termination applications.

Installation Notes

Installation of battery cable lugs should be performed by a qualified electrician or battery technician. Always disconnect and isolate the battery or power source before terminating any cable lug to prevent arc flash or short circuit hazards. A calibrated compression crimping tool sized for the conductor gauge should be used to achieve a gas-tight crimp. Follow applicable NEC guidelines for battery and DC wiring terminations.
