Panduit LAA4-38-C Aluminum Compression Lug

Product Description

The PANDUIT LAA4-38-C is an aluminum compression lug designed for making secure, low-resistance electrical terminations in power distribution and grounding applications. Compression lugs of this type are crimped onto conductor ends using a compatible compression tool, creating a gas-tight mechanical and electrical connection. The aluminum construction keeps weight low and resists corrosion in a wide range of installation environments. Licensed electricians and electrical contractors are the primary installers for this type of termination hardware.

Aluminum compression lugs are used in residential, commercial, and light industrial electrical installations where aluminum conductors must be terminated at busbars, switchgear, panelboards, and similar equipment. They are well suited for service entrance work and feeder runs where aluminum wiring is common. This lug is sold as a single unit (EA), allowing field purchase of individual pieces as needed for repair or retrofit work.

Key Features

• Aluminum construction provides a lightweight, corrosion-resistant termination
• Compression-style installation creates a gas-tight, mechanically secure connection
• Single-piece unit (EA) packaging supports individual replacement and retrofit needs
• Designed for use with compatible hydraulic or ratchet compression tooling

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style aluminum compression lug suitable for standard electrical termination applications where aluminum conductor lugs are specified.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC). De-energize and lock out the circuit before beginning any termination work. Use only a compression tool rated and die-matched for this lug style to ensure a proper crimp. Inspect the conductor for nicks or damage and apply appropriate oxide inhibitor compound to aluminum conductor ends before crimping.
