Southwire 65254240 Aluminum Mechanical Lug 600V

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE 65254240 is an aluminum mechanical lug designed to terminate conductors in power and grounding applications. It accepts both aluminum and copper conductors, making it a versatile termination point for mixed-conductor installations. Rated at 600 volts and suitable for use at temperatures up to 90 degrees Celsius (194 degrees Fahrenheit), this lug meets common requirements for residential and commercial electrical work. The single-hole mounting design simplifies panel and equipment installation. Licensed electricians and electrical contractors are the typical installers for this type of termination hardware.

This mechanical lug is suited for use in power distribution panels, grounding assemblies, and similar electrical termination scenarios where both aluminum and copper conductors must be accommodated. Its dual-conductor-material compatibility reduces the need to stock separate lugs for aluminum-only or copper-only runs, which is practical on job sites where conductor material varies by circuit.

Key Features

• Accepts both aluminum and copper conductors for flexible field use
• Rated for 600 volts
• Temperature rating up to 90 degrees Celsius (194 degrees Fahrenheit)
• Single-hole mount design for straightforward panel and enclosure installation
• Aluminum construction for corrosion resistance and lightweight handling

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-install mechanical lug for power and grounding termination applications using aluminum or copper conductors rated up to 600 volts.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements. De-energize and lock out the circuit before installing or replacing any termination hardware. Use the appropriate torque tool per the lug manufacturer label or panel manufacturer specifications when tightening conductor set screws. When terminating aluminum conductors, apply an appropriate anti-oxidant compound as required by local code and the conductor manufacturer.
